Pelvic physiotherapy is a specialized type of physiotherapy that can help women to alleviate pain, discomfort, and dysfunction in the pelvic area. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions such as incontinence, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Pelvic physiotherapy typically includes a combination of exercises, manual therapy, and biofeedback. The exercises are designed to strengthen and relax the pelvic floor muscles, improve bladder and bowel control, and alleviate pain and discomfort. Manual therapy involves the use of hands-on techniques to manipulate and massage the muscles and tissues in the pelvic area. Biofeedback is a technique that uses electronic monitoring to provide feedback on the activity of the pelvic floor muscles, helping the patient to learn how to properly engage and relax these muscles.
In addition to these interventions, the physiotherapist will also provide the patient with education and advice on how to manage their condition, including advice on posture, activity modification, and lifestyle changes.
Overall, pelvic physiotherapy can help women to alleviate pain and discomfort, regain strength and function, and improve bladder and bowel control and sexual function. It can also provide education and advice on how to manage their condition, and prevent recurrence. A personalized treatment plan will be created based on the patient's specific condition and symptoms.
