Quay Health is excited to announce it will now be offering Women’s Health Physiotherapy.
Women’s Health Physiotherapy assesses, diagnoses, and treats conditions specific to female anatomy and the female hormonal cycle. Commonly, these conditions are associated with pregnancy. However, several conditions can present at any time throughout a woman’s lifespan. Women’s Health Physiotherapy is centred around the assessment and management of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor refers to all of the contents of a woman’s pelvis, including the organs (bladder, uterus, vagina, anus, colon), muscles, fascia, and ligaments. Just like any other part of the body, issues can arise when (for whatever reason) the support structures of the pelvic floor – meaning the muscles, ligaments, and fascia are either overactive or weak.Some conditions related to Pelvic Floor Dysfunction include:
- Pelvic Pain
- Pain with Intercourse
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- Urinary Incontinence (Involuntary loss of urine)
- Urinary Urgency Constipation
