Pelvic pain can stem from a variety of factors, including childbirth, injury, or conditions like endometriosis or pelvic floor dysfunction. It's more common than you might think, but that doesn't mean you have to live with it.
Our expert team is here to provide support, guidance, and effective solutions to help you reclaim your comfort and confidence.
Pelvic Pain
Conditions We Treat:
-
A condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation, pain, and sometimes fertility issues.
-
An infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by sexually transmitted bacteria, which can lead to pelvic pain, fever, and fertility problems if left untreated.
-
A chronic bladder condition characterized by pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and frequency
-
Dysfunction or weakness in the muscles of the pelvic floor, which can cause pelvic pain, urinary or fecal incontinence, and sexual dysfunction.
-
Chronic vulvar pain or discomfort, often described as burning, stinging, or irritation, without any identifiable cause.
Our approach to treating Pelvic Pain (PP) is comprehensive and personalised. We begin with a thorough assessment, considering all potential contributing factors, including past events, biomechanical issues, and psychosocial influences that may be sustaining the pain.
Once we have a clear understanding of the nature and drivers of the pain, we craft a detailed treatment plan tailored to the individual. This plan combines physiotherapy techniques with lifestyle adjustments to address the root causes and alleviate symptoms.
Our physiotherapy interventions encompass a range of techniques, including:
Optimising breathing patterns
Pelvic floor down training and desensitization
Graduated pelvic floor release and manual therapy
Guided dilator therapy
Understanding and optimizing defecation dynamics
Modulating central nervous system drivers for pain
Musculoskeletal assessment and treatment, with a focus on the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
We collaborate closely with other healthcare professionals, coordinating referrals for scans, medications, or additional interventions such as Botox injections or surgery if necessary.
