Perineal and Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

What Is Perineal and Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation?

Perineal and pelvic floor rehabilitation is a service in physiotherapy addressing pelvic floor dysfunctions. This service is available to people of all ages.

It is commonly effective in treating the following conditions:

• Urinary and fecal incontinence
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Pelvic pain (back, pelvis, sacrum, coccyx)
• Sexual dysfunctions
  • Pain, orgasm dysfunction, muscle tension
• Hyper- or hypotonicity of pelvic floor muscles
• Pre- or post-childbirth
• Diastasis Recti rehabilitation
• Radical prostatectomy

A typical perineal rehabilitation evaluation includes a physical exam (posture, abdominal strength, lumbar mobility, breathing pattern, etc.), an external gynecological examination (observation of the region, contraction ability, sensitive areas, etc.), and an internal gynecological examination (assessment of pelvic floor muscle strength, endurance, and speed, presence of a prolapse, etc.). Naturally, consent is required for each of these steps.

Based on the evaluation, tailored exercises and recommendations will be provided for you to implement at home. A treatment plan will be determined according to your situation.
