Your Path to Recovery: What to Expect
Your initial session will involve a detailed history and assessment of your posture and pelvic mechanics. An internal exam is normally carried out (either vaginal and/or rectal) to assess the strength of the pelvic floor muscles. This is a digital exam only (no speculum) but it is not necessary if you have acute pain or are uncomfortable with that part of the assessment. A treatment plan will be tailored for you involving advice, exercises, posture correction, manual therapy to the pelvis and internal muscles and possibly acupuncture or electrotherapy.

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Vancouver FAQs
What is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on the rehabilitation of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the pelvic organs and play a crucial role in urinary and fecal continence, sexual function, and core stability. Therapy often involves exercises, manual techniques, and education to improve pelvic floor function and alleviate symptoms related to dysfunction.
Who Can Benefit from Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Individuals experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, or those who have undergone surgery affecting the pelvic area, can benefit. It’s also highly recommended for prenatal support and postpartum recovery as well as for individuals with chronic pelvic conditions.
How Long Does It Take to See Improvements?
The duration to see improvements varies depending on the individual’s condition, the severity of symptoms, and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan. Many clients start to notice positive changes within the first few weeks of therapy. However, achieving long-term relief and significant improvement often requires consistent effort over several months.
How Can I Prepare for My First Session?
Before your first session, it may be helpful to note down any symptoms you’re experiencing, their frequency, and any specific triggers. Also, consider any questions you may have for your physiotherapist. Being prepared with this information can help make the initial assessment as comprehensive and beneficial as possible.
