Pelvic Physiotherapy in Urogynaecology

When we talk about health and wellbeing, we often forget the pelvic floor. This group of muscles and tissues plays a crucial role, especially in women’s quality of life, even though it is underestimated. At Tecnifisio, however, we are committed to helping women recover and strengthen their pelvic floor, providing a full life without discomfort.

In which cases can we help?

We intervene in situations where the patient has pain in the genital region, sexual dysfunction, reduced lubrication, uterine and/or bladder prolapse (fallen uterus and bladder), urinary incontinence, post-surgical recovery of the pelvic floor, among others.

We also work on the prevention of these problems, helping to reduce the likelihood of urinary incontinence in various situations, such as:

1. In sport: Athletes who take part in activities involving impact, such as running, jumping and weightlifting, often face the challenge of urinary incontinence. It is important to understand that this is not normal and is something that can be worked on.

2. Pregnancy and postnatal: Pregnancy and childbirth can have a significant impact on the pelvic floor, whether through a vaginal birth or a caesarean. We work with pregnant and postnatal women to strengthen and rehabilitate these muscles, providing faster recovery and a more comfortable experience during pregnancy and after birth.

3. Menopause: Menopause can bring unique challenges for the pelvic floor due to hormonal changes. Our approach aims to minimise menopausal symptoms that affect intimate life, helping women maintain control and confidence.

4. Oncology: After some cancer treatments, a woman may experience changes in her intimate and sexual life, requiring the specialised approach of pelvic physiotherapy. We mainly work with gynaecological cancers (breast, ovarian and uterine cancer) and colorectal cancer.

The Stigma of Incontinence

It is common for women who suffer from urinary incontinence to feel embarrassed and reluctant to seek help. They often believe that incontinence is inevitable and that age automatically brings this problem, never thinking that a solution exists. This stigma around incontinence can lead to social isolation, reduced self-esteem and even depression.

Our Commitment to Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Before any intervention, at Tecnifisio we are committed to breaking this stigma and offering effective solutions for pelvic floor problems. Through manual and mechanical techniques, such as electrostimulation, biofeedback, radiofrequency, laser and ultrasound, we retrain the pelvic floor muscles. Throughout the sessions we teach various exercises specific to the condition, so that patients can repeat them at home and become an active part of their own recovery.

If you suffer from problems related to the pelvic floor or want to prevent them, we are here to help, starting now. Our team of qualified professionals is committed to guiding you, in advance, towards a healthier and happier life. Don’t let pelvic floor problems limit your quality of life. At Tecnifisio, we are here to support you, above all, every step of the way.
