Women’s/Men’s Pelvic Health

Women’s and Men’s Pelvic health physio is the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction and disorders including incontinence, prolapse and treatment for pain or pelvic floor symptoms including during and after pregnancy.

If you answer yes to any of these questions below, you should book an appointment with our Pelvic Health physiotherapists.

Do you feel like you have never quite recovered fully since childbirth?

Do you suffer with involuntary urine leakage with no control or with impact activities?

Do you have a heaviness feeling with weight bearing?

Common conditions we treat:

Stress incontinence – the loss of small amounts of urine with effort or physical activity (e.g coughing or jumping).

Urge incontinence – a sudden, uncontrollable urge to pass urine which can lead to involuntary loss of urine before you make it to the toilet.

Pelvic organ prolapse – a prolapse occurs when the organs drop from their usual position due to a stretch or weakening of the supportive structures. Often a dragging or heaviness can be felt.

Pre- and post-natal – pregnancy and childbirth can increase stress and strain on your back, pelvis, and pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. Pelvic girdle pain, abdominal muscle separation or pelvic floor muscle dysfunction are common conditions during this time.

Post-surgeryprostate surgery and hysterectomy are common surgeries that have an impact on the pelvic floor and/or abdominals
