Pelvic Floor Concerns/Education

 

1 in 4 women & 1 in 10 men suffer incontinence

Problems with bladder and/or bowel control (incontinence) are not age or gender specific.
The main risk factors associated with incontinence are:

  • pregnancy
  • childbirth
  • menopause
  • chronic straining of the bowels
  • frequent urinary tract infections
  • prostate problems
   Pelvic floor concerns/education

But incontinence is avoidable.

 

Physiotherapists provide a non-surgical approach to manage or even cure continence problems.

Continence problems can greatly affect your quality of life.

We can help.

 

"The assessment and treatment of continence and pelvic floor problems requires knowledge beyond the scope of undergraduate training."

Australian Physiotherapy Association.

 

Which is why the team at Fitwise Physiotherapy includes physios with postgraduate qualifications in Continence & Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation and a special interest in

  • promotion of continence, and
  • treatment of continence problems for men and women.

 

In addition we promote ongoing maintenance of continence by providing advice on:

  • bladder training
  • pelvic floor exercises
