Starting with the Questionnaire
Question 1: What inspired you to specialize in pelvic floor health?
There are many opportunities for physiotherapists to specialize in treating certain types of patients or performing a particular method of physiotherapy. One option for specialization that women’s health physiotherapists can pursue is pelvic floor therapy. You might decide to specialize in pelvic floor therapy if you’re interested in helping women, as many pelvic floor therapists guide women through strengthening their pelvic floor after medical conditions or childbirth. So, I, as a women’s health physiotherapist, decided to specialize in pelvic floor health.
Question 2: Many pelvic floor issues are associated with pain. How do you address pain management as part of your rehabilitation approach?
