Meet Rebecca
Rebecca has been practicing as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist for over 10 years and developed an interest in women's and pelvic health after having her own children nearly four years ago. Being an active person and struggling with some postpartum issues herself, she realised how important the role of a pelvic health physio is in helping support women through times like this and getting them back to full function. Pelvic health conditions can have a huge impact on your quality of life, and Rebecca is really passionate about making sure your goals and concerns are listened to, so you can get back to feeling confident in your own skin.

What does a consultation involve?
Your initial consultation will involve both a detailed discussion about your pelvic health concerns and, where appropriate, a physical assessment. Your Physiotherapist may ask questions about your symptoms, medical history, bladder and bowel function, and sexual health to help gain make an accurate diagnosis, and develop an individualised treatment plan.
As part of your consult, your Physiotherapist may also discuss completing a physical examination. The most effective way to assess pelvic floor muscle function is often through an internal examination or palpation of the perineal region. This examination is entirely optional and alternative assessment options are available. Consent will always be obtained beforehand.
