So you have finally decided to do something about your ‘down below issues’…<\/em> and have either been told about a ‘Women’s health physio’ or your GP \/ Gynae has recommended you come and see me.
\nWhen you ring up and make an appointment please make sure the secretary\/receptionist makes a 1 hour appointment<\/span>. Sometimes if she is away from her desk …us lesser mortals (physios) will ‘do’ phone duty and we are really not<\/em>\u00a0good at it…and so 1 hour bookings can be booked in as an ‘initial consult’ (only 30 minutes).This is never enough time for\u00a0a first time women’s health appointment unless I am assessing for Tummy separation and advice only.<\/em>
\nSo what happens in this appointment?
\nIn a private room I will ask you lots of questions about your pelvic floor, exercise and related medical areas. This will probably be in ‘questionnaire’ form. I will then take a history and talk through the answers which you provided in the questionnaire.
\nFrom this history taking I will then do an internal pelvic (vaginal) examination to determine the extent of your problem.
\nI may also suggest that we use the ‘Peritron’<\/a> to determine a base line\u00a0function of your pelvic floor\u00a0muscles.
\nFollowing your examination I will make some recommendations on possible lifestyle changes, exercise changes and a specific pelvic floor programme to address your problem.
\nSome women have issues because their pelvic muscles are too active- tight and so their programme is directed more at pelvic muscle relaxation strategies.\u00a0 Sometimes it is quite a complicated picture.
\nHow can you know what is right for you……………………………………………….make that appointment today <\/a><\/p>\n
