How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Works
On your first consultation with your pelvic floor physiotherapist, he will review your symptom history with some questionnaires to fill out. Based on your symptoms, your therapist will perform a thorough examination externally, evaluating spinal, hip, abdominal, and pelvic mobility. Then he’ll do an internal rectal examination to determine whether the pelvic floor is weak or tight.
Based on the findings, the physiotherapist will then build a rehabilitation treatment program adapted to your particular problem.
Here, cooperation, motivation, and self-practice are of the utmost importance. The degree of success of the treatment is related to your ability to change patterns of behavior and habits to establish good control of the pelvic floor muscles and the sphincters, in good synchronization with both the respiratory and posture muscles.
