What to expect from a Pelvic Health Physiotherapy appointment
Your Pelvic Health Physiotherapy appointment will usually take place in a private treatment room with the door closed. You will be asked questions to find out about your problems in more detail. This will include questions about your medical history and day-to-day life.
You don’t need to wear any special clothing to your appointments, but you may be asked to undress the body area relating to your problem so an appropriate assessment can be carried out.
If your problems are related to your pelvic floor, an internal examination (vaginal examination or anorectal examination) is often advised to assess your pelvic floor function. This can be completed at the first appointment or a subsequent appointment. We will discuss what it involves and why it is advisable. You do not have to have this examination, and you have the right to say no or change your mind at any point.
After a full assessment, we will discuss the findings and a treatment plan. You will have the opportunity during your appointments to ask any questions you may have.
