What to expect
- One-to-one personal consultation
- 60-minute Assessment Consultation
- 45-minute Follow-up Consultation
- Detailed history and physical examination, including daily fluid intake, bladder function day and night, bowel and toileting habits, pelvic pain and sexual symptoms, gynaecological history, medical history, obstetric history (if you have had kids)
- Internal vaginal examination (with your consent of course) to properly assess your pelvic floor function. This not only allows the Physiotherapist to gain crucial information regarding the pelvic floor it also provides feedback for the patient on correct pelvic floor activation.
- We have a lot of work to do in an hour (or less) but it should give your therapist an idea of what the next steps are for you. And also give you a few things to start working on at home until your next session. We strive for you to feel respected and listened to in your session. We know that the first step can be scary to take.
