Physiotherapy can help!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n
A physiotherapist specifically trained in the area of pelvic health will be able to assess and treat the group of muscles involved with your urinary, bowel, sexual function, and core stability.<\/p>\n
During the initial assessment, there will be a detailed history taking, an external exam, and if indicated, an internal examination. The external exam will consist of assessment of postural alignment, strength, breathing patterns, and how much movement you have in your low back, hips, and pelvis. Analyzing your breathing pattern and breath awareness is important because the diaphragm, core, and pelvic floor work together. Many people breathe incorrectly and may hold their breath, which profoundly affects the function of the pelvic floor.<\/p>\n

Internal examination is completed vaginally and\/or rectally. The internal exam provides information on the strength of your pelvic floor muscles, assesses for tenderness and muscle tone, and determines how the pelvic floor is functioning. The goal of the session is to evaluate symptoms based on personal boundaries and to NOT create a painful response.<\/span><\/p>\nBased on assessment findings, each patient will be given a personalized treatment plan which may include education, exercises, manual therapy, activity modification, and relaxation practices.<\/p>\n
