• Pelvic Organ Prolapse – 1 in 3 women experience pelvic prolapse, dragging and heaviness by the age of 50. It is more common than we realize and improving your pelvic floor muscle strength can reduce these symptoms and prevent further problems.
• Pelvic surgery and prostatectomy are becoming more common and optimizing your pelvic floor will assist with recovery post-surgically and improve the success rate of the surgery
• General pelvic floor checks – Research shows that only 50% of women and 40% of men can contract their pelvic floor correctly. In fact, incorrect contraction can cause more harm than good. Prevention is better than a cure. If you are unsure if you are doing the right contraction then we can use our real-time ultrasound machines to check your pelvic contraction and provide a customized pelvic floor rehabilitation program.
