Your physiotherapist will determine the indication for manual therapy as part of a thorough examination and diagnosis and create an individual treatment plan.
Treatment process
During a pelvic floor therapy session, the therapist works specifically with exercises and techniques to strengthen and coordinate the pelvic floor. This can be achieved through breathing exercises, muscle training and manual therapy. The treatment is individually tailored and often requires the active cooperation of the patient.
