The driver may not necessarily be the location of your symptoms. Clients are often surprised to learn about the connection between a pelvic floor dysfunction and lower back pain, hip impingement and even jaw and neck pain. An accurate diagnosis will empower you with the knowledge and a unique treatment plan to guide you to your wellbeing goals. Treatment techniques will vary with each individual presentation. These may include, but not limited to, myofascial release, dry needling and western acupuncture, muscle energy techniques and re-education of dynamic movement patterns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e1fd279942cf836503c66aa/1580722403885-PC93F7WT5MAW8LGYXOEV/Group%2Bof%2BWomen.jpg Services - Pelvic Floor & Continence Women’s Health Physiotherapists are trained to assess and treat a range of pelvic conditions.
