Physiotherapy

1-Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

As a pelvic health physiotherapist, we are likely involved in assessing, diagnosing, and treating various conditions related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, such as:

• Bladder Health: Urinary Incontinence, Overactive Bladder, Voiding Dysfunctions, Post-Prostatectomy Urinary Incontinence, which is explained as:

  • The unintentional, unwanted, or involuntary leaking of urine from the bladder is known as urinary incontinence. Stress Urinary incontinence often happens when you cough, sneeze, or exercise and is commonly caused by poor control of already weak pelvic floor muscles. You can prevent such complications in the coming years of your life with a little attention and the necessary training from a pelvic health physiotherapist.​

  • How can Physical Therapy be helpful? Pelvic floor muscle training is known as the most effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence. Whether you are just starting to experience the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence or have suffered with this problem for years, seeking a pelvic health physiotherapist can be the first step in regaining control of your bladder and improving your quality of life.

• Bowel Health; Anal Incontinence; Functional Constipation.

• Pelvic Pain: focused on pains that come from certain muscles or ligaments, for example, by pulling a muscle in the hip joint, lumbar or pelvic region.

• Sexual dysfunction; dyspareunia, vaginismus, and ejaculation pain.

2-Women Health Physiotherapy

In this section, our focus is on addressing the unique musculoskeletal and physiological needs of women across their lifespan, with a specific focus on pregnancy and postpartum.

​

Even though pregnancy is a physiological phenomenon and should not be viewed as a disease, due to numerous hormonal changes and the increase in the weight of the fetus, it affects the function of the woman's muscular-skeletal system. Therefore, a trained women's health physiotherapist is an integral part of any woman’s prenatal and postpartum care team.

​

The following are some common conditions that may happen because of these changes:

​

• Low Back Pain and Pelvic Pain

Low back pain is commonly experienced during pregnancy and after giving birth. Changing hormone levels affect the ligaments supporting the lower back area, causing weakness during pregnancy and for up to six months after birth. The growth of the fetus, and giving birth influence the abdominal and pelvic muscles; this decreases their strength, diminishes the support offered to the spine and sacroiliac joints, and can result in injury and pain in the pelvis and lower back regions.

​

How can physiotherapy be helpful? A pelvic health physiotherapist can manage your pain, teach you proper techniques to protect your joints, teach you exercises to keep you fit during your pregnancy, and assist with your recovery after giving birth.

 

• Diastasis Recti

Commonly referred to as "Mummy Tummy", Diastasis Recti is abdominal muscle separation during pregnancy and labor. When your abdominals are stretched and separated, they are no longer able to adequately stabilize your low back and pelvis.

 

How can physiotherapy be helpful? A pelvic health physiotherapist can help ensure the integrity of abdominal muscles is maintained by showing you exercises to perform during pregnancy that aids recovery postpartum where a diastasis is present.

​​​​​​

We also offer treating other conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, prenatal and postnatal musculoskeletal issues, Premenstrual syndrome, Dysmenorrhea, Endometriosis, and Post-menopausal symptoms.  Additionally, we provide support and guidance for women undergoing C-Section, and gynecological surgeries such as Hysterectomy.
