Gold Coast women’s health physiotherapy
At Ace health center on the Gold Coast, we are lucky to have a women’s health physiotherapist. Heres some of the most common women’s health conditions that can be treated by women’s health physiotherapy –
- urinary incontinence
- frequency
- fecal incontinence
- pre and post-pregnancy musculoskeletal pains and rehabilitation.
Unlike the muscles that we use to walk or to carry things throughout the day. the pelvic floor is therefore not a group muscle that we exercise regularly. For most parts of our lives, we neglect it. Often it isn’t until during pregnancy or after pregnancy, we start to find incontinence symptoms or prolapse symptoms.
Symptoms
There are many different symptoms women’s health physiotherapy can help. These include –
- pee leakage during laughing
- coughing or sneezing
- urgency when we have to rush to the toilet quickly
- empty our bladder multiple times during the day
- heaviness and dragging sensations
Therefore these troublesome symptoms commonly persist even after menopause. It often seems that it is a taboo subject to talk about. We need to keep in mind that common does not mean it is normal. Common does not mean that there is nothing that can be done to treat it. For more info click here
