Pelvic Floor
Physiotherapy:
A pelvic floor physiotherapist
undertakes further postgraduate study to become qualified to assess
and treat conditions such as:
-Bladder leakage with coughing,
sneezing, laughing
-Bladder leakage associated with
urgency (can’t hold on long enough)
-Increased urinary frequency
(needing to go to the toilet often)
-Difficulty controlling
wind
-Leakage from the
bowel
-Prolapse
-Pelvic Pain
-Pre-operative and post-operative
management following gynaecological surgery such as hysterectomy.
Many people would be surprised to know how common the above
conditions are, but they are NOT something that you should just
accept and live with! Consulting a pelvic floor
physiotherapist can teach you how to activate your pelvic floor
muscles correctly and give you some valuable tools to help you live
your life without worrying when you will be able to get to the
toilet
next. For an appointment for any women’s health condition, please
see Kathryn or Alycia. Please see below for more information on our
Preggy Fitness and Mums & Bubs classes.
Real-Time
Ultrasound
The
use of ultrasound (sound waves) is highly beneficial in the
management of chronic low back pain and pelvic floor muscle
re-eduation. Patients can visually see muscle/s that often through
pain and other factors are not contracting in an appropriate
manner. This in turn allows the development of an appropriate
corrective exercise regime.
Complex
Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Formerly
known as RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) this often disabling
condition now has a variety of new management approaches based on
the latest cortical retraining techniques. Rowville Physiotherapy
has been at the forefront of many of the latest techniques such as
Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) for CRPS management.
Running injuries
Running for recreation and
competition is a wonderful way to keep fit and forms the basis of many
other sports such as football, soccer and basketball.

Clinical Pilates Classes at Rowville
As the Rowville Clinical Pilates classes will be conducted by a physiotherapist it has the opportunity to have more of a clinical focus than just Fitness Pilates. This means the class can be tailored more specifically to your individual needs. It requires each new participant to our classes to undergo a pre-pilates class screen in the Rowville Physio. We also keep our class sizes small. Clinical Pilates exercise is suitable for everybody & anybody, ranging from teenagers to elderly, from dancers to footballers. Our class is open to everyone..
Our classes are split into three levels to accomodate for all degrees of pilates ability. We ask all people new to pilates at Rowville Physiotherapy to come in for a pre-pilates screen with a physiotherapist at our clinic. This price is charged at our follow up rate under the 505 code. The pre-pilates screen is essential for minimising the risk and maximising the benefits of clinical pilates.
