Both males and females can experience conditions associated with poor pelvic floor muscles. This may include incontinence (stress, urge, urinary or faecal), vaginal or bowel prolapse and poor sexual function. Many people struggle to correctly identify and activate their pelvic floor muscles. Physiotherapists at The Melbourne Sports Medicine Centre use Real Time Ultrasound to non-invasively determine if these muscles are working and can teach you how to activate them properly. They can also provide advice regarding management of the above conditions.
Physiotherapists with a special interest in this area include Lisa McCabe, Sophie Heywood, Melanie Omizzolo and Liana Cope.
