How does it all work?

The physiotherapist will bring you in for your consultation, run through your health history and current presentation of symptoms.

Then they’ll perform a quick physical assessment using a series of special tests, in order to establish a working diagnosis.

Treatment is then based on your diagnosis and presenting symptoms. They aim to restore you to function as quickly as possible!

They also give a little bit of homework, usually exercises. These are are designed to decrease pain, improve strength and restore function, and are vital to your recovery.

Incontinence Physiotherapy

Common Incontinence Treatments

Pelvic Floor Exercises

The floor of your pelvis is made up of multiple layers of muscles. These muscles stretch like a hammock from your tailbone at the back to the pubic bone in front. When your pelvic floor muscles lose their normal control it is known as pelvic floor dysfunction.

Pelvic Floor Training

A woman's pelvic floor supports the bladder, the womb (uterus) and the bowel. The urethra (front passage), the vagina (birth canal) and the rectum (back passage) pass through the pelvic floor muscles.

Kegel Exercises

It is important for both women and men of all ages to maintain pelvic floor muscle strength.

Bladder Retraining

Women and men with stress incontinence, that is, those who regularly lose urine when coughing, sneezing or exercising, should especially benefit from these exercises.

Postnatal Care

For pregnant women, these exercises help the body to cope with the increasing weight of the baby. Healthy, fit muscles pre-natally will recover more readily after the birth.

Vaginal Prolapse

We're all a bit different, and gender is no exception. We have male and female physiotherapists trained to help you and your specific needs. Say goodbye to the unknown, and get the help you seek.
