Your bladder isn’t the only symptom
Bladder issues (such as leaking or finding it hard to hold on) are common but not the only symptom of pelvic disfunction. You may also be experiencing.
- Bowel issues (e.g. trouble passing a motion, or constipation).
- Pain when urinating.
- Ongoing pain in your pelvic region, genitals or rectum.
- Sexual disfunction, e.g. reduced sex drive, or pain from sexual intercourse.
Men and women alike
Many issues that stem from or can be treated via the pelvis, affect both men and women, yes men too.
So, if you are suffering from problems with your bladder, bowel, or sexual dysfunction, or have slow to resolve gluteal, groin, hip, lower back or sacrum/ coccyx pain seeing a pelvic physiotherapist could be treatment you've been searching for.
Pregnancy and birth issues
Pregnancy, childbirth, and the responsibilities of motherhood impose immense stress on the body, particularly the pelvis. This often leads to discomfort, pain, and a lack of confidence in our bodies, making it difficult to resume an active lifestyle, or simply live confidently and comfortably. During the ante and post-natal periods, by taking special consideration to your pelvic floor we can put a plan in place to minimise issues or assist you in recovery.
Menstrual pain and endometriosis
Pain and discomfort can often be caused by an ailment of the lower back, hip, sacrum or coccyx. A comprehensive pelvic assessment can identify where the issue lies and how pelvic physiotherapy could help alleviate these issues.
Post natal return to sport
For those who enjoy an active lifestyle, working your way back into sport and exercise can be a tentative process.
By working with a pelvic physiotherapist, we can put a plan in place that prepares your body, improves muscle and joint health, ensures you are not overloading your pelvic floor, so you can exercise with confidence, and lower the risk of injury.
