In addition:

- Our Circle of Care enables a holistic and seamless process for treatment and rehabilitation from manual therapy and corrective exercise through to Dynamic Reformer Pilates – well known for its ability to build core strength, and to improve engagement, strength and control of the pelvic floor muscles.
Women's Health initial assessment
As with our other Physiotherapy services, an initial appointment will involve both a subjective and objective assessment.
Subjective assessment
We'll ask you a number of specific and targeted questions to help us better understand your symptoms, the underlying issue or condition and any contributing factors. (This may include personal questioning around bladder/bowel function and full pelvic health screenings).
Objective assessment
Depending on the issue we look at the physical impact of your symptoms and to give us further insights into the underlying cause we'll also assess your posture, movement patterns, and muscle and joint strength and stability.
If it is warranted and you consent to it, we may also carry out an internal pelvic floor assessment to assess the strength and control of the pelvic floor and the integrity of the tissues. (If an internal examination is required, we will offer you the option of a chaperone.)
Treatment and follow-up
As with any other physiotherapy programme, following the assessment, your Women’s Health Physio will explain the diagnosis (where necessary) not just of the immediate issue and symptoms but also of the underlying cause
She will then discuss your treatment and rehab plan and help you understand what to expect as your programme progresses.
You will normally need to come in for follow-up appointments. (An internal examination is not required at each session). In these sessions, we will look at any changes in symptoms since the previous visit and then amend your treatment and rehab program accordingly.
There are some extra treatment options available in treating pelvic floor and urinary dysfunction. For some patients, it may be appropriate to use a biofeedback machine or a muscle stimulation machine. These are inserted into the vagina, and either get a reading on the technique and strength of a contraction (biofeedback) or provide stimulation to the muscle to be able to encourage a contraction (stimulation).
