FAQs
+ Is pelvic floor physiotherapy safe during pregnancy and postpartum?
Yes, pelvic floor physiotherapy is safe and effective during pregnancy and after childbirth. It can help with changes in your pelvic muscles caused by pregnancy, labor, and delivery. This includes issues like perineal tearing and pelvic organ prolapse. Our physiotherapists will create a treatment plan just for you, making sure you're comfortable and safe as you recover and strengthen your muscles.
+ Do I need an internal exam for pelvic floor physiotherapy?
Not necessarily. We may suggest an internal exam to check your pelvic floor muscles and pinpoint target areas, but it's up to you. Your comfort is our priority, and our physiotherapists will explain all options before doing anything. If you're not comfortable with an internal exam, we can still provide effective treatment without it.
+ Is pelvic floor physiotherapy only for women?
No, pelvic floor physiotherapy is helpful for both men and women. Conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and recovery after surgery can affect everyone. Men, especially after prostate surgery or as they get older, may also face pelvic floor problems. Our physiotherapists are trained to help people of all genders improve their pelvic health.
+ How many pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your condition and goals. Some people see improvement after just a few sessions, while others may need more to maintain pelvic health. Speak to your physiotherapist about the length of your treatment plan and your progress to make sure you are getting what you need out of your sessions.
