Here are some interesting facts and why you may need Pelvic Health assessment:
The Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists have revealed that about 60% of women acknowledge having at least one symptom associated with poor pelvic health and nearly a quarter of have never done pelvic floor exercises.
About 1 in 5 women experience discomfort during pregnancy and up to 75% experience incontinence. This number rises with age.
It is never too late to reach out, whether you are 6 weeks after you've given birth or 6 years. Symptoms that are common include postnatal low back pain, incontinence, sensation of heaviness, abdominal separation, mother's thumb, wrist pain and weakness, painful sex or voiding difficulties.
These symptoms are common but not normal and you should seek a professional help.
Your postnatal check will include:
- Postnatal detailed physiotherapy assessment of the abdominal and pelvic area.
- Identification of muscle imbalances
- Checks on posture, breathing, tummy gap and pelvic floor.
- Following assessment an appropriate safe exercise programme will be advised
- A report on the findings will be provided
- Ideally taking place at 6 weeks or more
