Initial Assessment and Treatment May Include:
- Orthopedic examination of spine, pelvis, upper and lower body.
- Real-Time Ultrasound Assessment: This is a test similar to what you would receive at the hospital but tailored for physiotherapy so the patient and therapist can see the abdominal muscles, bladder, and spine muscles. This allows us to see imbalances and look at how well the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles are functioning and instruct on the correct use of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles.
- Internal Assessment: this is a way of allowing the therapist to evaluate the tension and strength in the internal pelvic muscles. Comprehensive assessment for signs of pelvic organ prolapse.
- Myofascial release: this is muscle work used to release and relax muscles that are too tight and causing pelvic floor pain or weakness.
- Intramuscular Stimulation ( IMS ): a needling technique to release chronically tight external muscles around the lower back and hips.
- Western Acupuncture: may be used to help reduce inflammation and pain, to lower stress and to relax the patient where needed.
- Clinical Pilates Exercise. We offer unique one to one Pilates based spine stabilization and core training to ensure the sustainability of results.
- Treadmill assessment for walking or running gait analysis
