An initial appointment with a pelvic health physiotherapist will include a detailed health history, overview of symptoms as well as any relevant assessment and treatment.
There are no known side effects of pelvic health physiotherapy, however if you have any questions or concerns please discuss them with your healthcare provider during your initial appointment.
Sessions may include an internal exam, internal treatment or the use of manual therapy tools (ie: pelvic wand). Your provider will always gain your consent for all treatment modalities and you are always allowed to withdraw consent at any time. In order to help each individual feel safe and avoid possible triggers, we encourage open and honest communication around what will make you feel the most supported.
Pelvic health physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers so a referral from your doctor is not necessary. Some considerations to be mindful of before starting treatment include:
- have recently undergone a vaginal or pelvic surgery
- are pregnant
- are breastfeeding
- experience pain with urination
- have vaginal bleeding or discharge
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a valuable approach to healthcare that benefits people of all ages and stages in their life. It is an education forward, evidence-based approach to supporting an individual's bladder, bowel and deep core muscle function. These areas have a significant impact on the quality of a person's daily activities. Changes in these areas can be experienced during the pregnancy and post-partum period, or as conditions such as urinary incontinence (leakage), loss of bowel control, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, erectile dysfunction and constipation.
Regaining, and learning to maintain, control over these muscles allows a patient to feel in control of, and connected to, their bodies and to approach their day to day activities with confidence and ease.
