Urogynecological physiotherapy is the therapeutic treatment of all disorders affecting the pelvis and pelvic floor. This specialised therapy can be helpful in alleviating the symptoms of a wide range of pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and prolapse.
The aim of Urogynecological physiotherapy is to prevent or treat problems in the field of urology, gynaecology, proctology and sexology.
During these specialised physiotherapy sessions, we work with our patients to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals. The number and frequency of sessions will vary depending on the individual's condition and progress but most people will see improvements with regular and consistent treatment.
These are a few of the many benefits of urogynecological physiotherapy:
Improved bladder control: Urogynecological physiotherapy can help improve bladder control by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder and urethra, which can reduce the frequency and urgency of symptoms of urinary incontinence.
Decreased pelvic pain: Urogynecological physiotherapy can help reduce pelvic pain by addressing the underlying musculoskeletal issues that may be contributing to the pain.
Improved sexual function: Urogynecological physiotherapy can help improve sexual function by addressing issues such as pain during intercourse.
Reduced risk of pelvic organ prolapse: Urogynecological physiotherapy can help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which can reduce the risk of pelvic organ prolapse.
Urogynecological physiotherapy is typically recommended as a first-line treatment for pelvic floor disorders, before considering more invasive treatments such as surgery. The benefits of urogynecological physiotherapy may vary depending on the patient's specific condition and the severity of their symptoms.
