UI is the loss of bladder control, a common and embarrassing problem affecting millions of people. It is not NORMAL to suffer incontinence! It may be the inevitable consequence of childbirth or changes after childbirth or a post surgery problem. It is a medical condition with many possible causes.

Your pelvic floor consists of a thin sheet of muscles that cover the pelvic outlet: the pubococcygeals or PC's - they run from the pubic bone to the coccyx. These crucial muscles:

• Support internal organs
• Enable you to maintain urinary and bowel continence
• Provide support vital for reproductive and sexual functioning
• Bolter your organs during activities that stress them physically, such as laughing, sneezing and coughing

You will need to see your physician to be referred for physiotherapy for Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation. Treatments include biofeedback, kegel exercise training, muscle stimulation, core strengthening; and education with regard to fibre, fluid and caffeine intake. A bladder diary is usually kept to assist treatment.

The assessment for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction is $111.00. Each appointment thereafter would be $80.00 and the duration one hour. Typically patients attend once per week for 6-12 weeks or 10-12 treatments over a period of 3 months. Of course each person's treatment plan is individual so this can vary either way. Treatment takes place in a private room in our clinic, one on one with your physiotherapist. The clinic has a lovely peaceful atmosphere.
