Pelvic Health Assessment

Pelvic Floor problems among women are very common, though many women just accept this as a normal part of life. It doesn’t have to be – treatment is available.

Specialist, Chartered Physiotherapists are often the first line of treatment. Many people are unaware that physiotherapy can help these problems but there is a lot we can do to help. At Bode Clinic we have a fantastic women’s health physiotherapist with extensive knowledge and experience in the field, because you deserve the very best treatment and care.

Most conditions can be treated effectively and symptoms eased in the majority of cases.

The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles deep within the pelvis that are very important in controlling the bladder and bowel and also support the pelvic organs. Incontinence and prolapse may occur when the pelvic floor muscles are weak, and it can happen due to a range of different medical and physical reasons.

Your first appointment will include an assessment of your problem by a specialist female physiotherapist, this will be in a private treatment room with a closed door. You will be asked in detail about your problem and how it affects your everyday life and also about your medical history.

Pelvic floor problems is not directly related to pregnancy or birth, it can happen to anyone and at any stage of your life.
