Meet Our Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists
What to Expect During a Pelvic Floor Assessment
A pelvic floor assessment includes a thorough history taking and evaluation of lumbopelvic function, abdominal stability and pelvic floor function which may include an internal examination. The goal of the assessment is to determine the cause of your incontinence or pain and which treatment would be most beneficial for you. Treatment may include education regarding normal bowel and bladder function (including dietary and lifestyle factors), pelvic floor muscle awareness and retraining exercises, manual therapy techniques, and myofascial trigger point and connective tissue treatment. Education about persistent pain may also be an important part of treatment as the pelvic area is often an area where we hold our stress.
Best Evidence Guidelines (Cochrane, 2010) state that Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy (using internal examination to teach the exercises) should be the FIRST line of defence against all forms of stress, urge and mixed incontinence before surgical consultation. Your physiotherapist will work with you to achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.

What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
It is often thought that nothing can be done for those with incontinence, prolapse or pelvic pain. It is also thought that Kegels are the only treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction – this is absolutely not the case! Kegels are often not appropriate, and if they are indicated, they are frequently performed incorrectly.
The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles that attach to the front, back and sides of the pelvic bone and sacrum. They are like a hammock or a sling, and they support the bladder, uterus, prostate and rectum. They also wrap around the urethra, rectum, and vagina (in women). These muscles must be able to contract to maintain continence, and relax to allow for urination, bowel movements, and in women, sexual intercourse. Incontinence is NOT a normal part of aging, nor is it normal post pregnancy.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can be caused by HYPOTONICITY (weak pelvic floor muscles), or by HYPERTONICITY (tight pelvic floor muscles).
