Pelvic Health Osteopathy

 
 

Pelvic health concerns are so common and are one of the key area’s our clinic and practitioners focus on.

One in three women, and one in ten men will experience a pelvic health condition of the course of their life.

Pelvic health osteopathy should be considered if you are experiencing pelvic symptoms, or if you have had a pelvic health complaint that has been unresolved with classical osteopathy or physiotherapy in the past.

Our pelvic health osteopaths have specialised training in pelvic health. Your appointment would include a typical whole body osteopathic assessment and case history, with the addition of specific internal vaginal assessment, treatment and management.

Common conditions our osteopaths treat include:

  • Chronic pelvic pain

  • Groin/hip/back pain

  • Painful periods

  • Constipation

  • Bladder conditions such as incontinence or urgency

  • Post natal support

  • Prolapse

  • Painful sex.

Pelvic health Osteopathy looks at the body as a whole, and not just at the site of pain or concern. Your Osteopath will not just assess the pelvic floor; they will look for any potential imbalances within the musculoskeletal system that may be impacting the function of your pelvic floor.

Our Osteopath utilise techniques that involve releasing fascial tension, lymphatic and venous drainage, trigger point therapy, ligament and muscle techniques. This combination of gentle osteopathic manual therapy, at-home management and advice, and strengthening/relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and associated areas, can assist with a variety of pelvic health concerns.

Lauren and Rea are trained in internal and external assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor.

Our osteopaths are not yet trained in internal treatments during pregnancy, or advanced prolapsed management. We recommend booking with Liz, our pelvic floor physiotherapist.

Our team works collaboratively and will often link pelvic health osteopathy and physiotherapy together if it is indicated.
