What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy, or physical therapy, is a form of rehabilitation that focuses on improving pain, physical function, and wellbeing by identifying and addressing sources of movement dysfunction. A physiotherapy assessment typically involves verbally exploring the history of the pain or physical challenge, and investigating general movement patterns as well as movements specific to the area of interest. In an in-person setting, this may involve the physiotherapist palpating (examining by touch) specific structures. While physiotherapy is often thought of as a hands-on modality, a significant portion of physiotherapy treatment typically involves education, exercises, and lifestyle adjustments.
Physiotherapy sessions with Linnea focus on helping individuals find greater peace, ease, and joy in their bodies through mindful movement and gentle hands-on techniques.
What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
Pelvic health physiotherapy, also referred to as pelvic floor physiotherapy, consists of the assessment and treatment of a variety of conditions in which the muscles of the pelvic floor play an important role. These conditions are wide-ranging and can occur across all ages and genders. A few of the most common conditions that can benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy include:
In order to better assess the structures of the pelvic floor, pelvic health physiotherapists have additional training enabling them to visualize and palpate the structures of the pelvic floor through internal assessments and treatments. These internal assessments and treatments can be performed vaginally and/or rectally. A pelvic health physiotherapist may recommend internal work, but it is always the individual receiving care’s choice whether or not they would like to be assessed and treated in this manner. Internal assessment can give valuable information about the structures of the pelvic floor, but it is only one component of pelvic health physiotherapy.
Given the wide variety of functions that the muscles of the pelvic floor perform, pelvic health physiotherapy typically takes a holistic look at the person, which may include looking at movement habits, dietary and voiding habits, reported life stress, social influences, and breathing habits.
