What is a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and what can they help with?

Pelvic Health Physiotherapists are often the less well-known specialists of the physiotherapy world. This may be because they deal with conditions that are often taboo, perceived as embarrassing or thought to be a natural part of the ageing process. Pelvic health physiotherapist can assess and treat women of all ages with conditions associated with the bladder, bowel, the pelvic floor muscles, pelvis, and the abdominal muscles. Symptoms can be reduced, and quality of life restored.

As in all areas of physiotherapy treatment is patient-centered and will help to achieve specific goals. Common problems patients want solutions to are as follows:

Being able to leave your house without worrying about getting to the toilet in time.

Doing exercise without fear of urine leakage.

Being able to lift children or continue to lift weights in the gym without fear of making things worse following a pelvic organ prolapse.

A lack of confidence in the pelvic floor muscles post childbirth or during the menopause.

Where pelvic floor exercises are no longer working.

Pelvic pain, such as pain with intercourse
Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain

Our reviews - What our patients say

I got a same-day appointment with Dr Dele-salawu on 14th October. She was very knowledgeable and attentive, she allowed me to tell her the details of my concerns and arranged appropriately for urgent tests. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

Attended this clinic for minor surgery and was very impressed indeed. Dr Sathis Wijemanne was exceptionally professional and explained in detail what to expect from the procedure. He was patient and put me at ease right away. The nurse and reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this clinic.

I found the ROC clinic in Aberdeen to be excellent. All appointments were offered quickly, the staff were welcoming and professional and the location was ideal, with great parking. I found the level of customer care to be first class and any medical results/reports were produced fast and efficiently. Would highly recommend this clinic.
