Key points about pelvic physiotherapy:
Pelvic physiotherapy is a type of physiotherapy that considers the role of the pelvic floor muscles and how they might contribute to different conditions within the pelvis.
A pelvic physiotherapy appointment includes a physical assessment and specific treatment to improve your pelvic health. This includes pelvic floor muscle function, breathing, posture, alignment, movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
Pelvic physiotherapy also looks at other areas of the body like your hips, low back, rib cage, and lower extremities. Sometimes these body parts are impacting pelvic floor muscle function, and in turn, impacting your overall pelvic health.
Gather uses a "whole person" approach to care called a biopsychosocial approach. This approach considers the medical aspect of your health, but also the psychological and the social aspects of health. Thoughts, beliefs, emotions, culture, family, and relationships can be important drivers contributing to your health concerns, and must be taken into consideration during physiotherapy assessment and treatment to ensure your best outcomes.
