When You Might Need Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy support is often recommended alongside, not instead of, your medical treatment. Common situations where our team gets involved include:
- Recovery after gynecological or laparoscopic surgery
- Postpartum recovery following normal delivery or C-section
- Pelvic floor concerns, where assessment indicates that physiotherapy may be appropriate
- General mobility and strength support during a hospital stay
What Our Physiotherapy Support Includes
Post-Surgical Recovery
Physiotherapy may include movement and strengthening guidance after selected gynaecological or laparoscopic procedures, depending on the procedure and advice from the treating team.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Depending on the assessment, pelvic floor physiotherapy may include guidance on exercises, breathing, and movement. Any device-based treatment should be considered separately according to clinical suitability.
Postpartum Recovery
Physiotherapy may be considered after vaginal delivery or caesarean birth, depending on recovery, individual needs, and advice from the treating clinician.
Physiotherapy, Built Into Your Care Plan
Where physiotherapy is indicated, its role may be discussed with your treating doctor or the clinician managing your pelvic floor concerns. Contact the hospital to confirm the available arrangements for your care.
The physiotherapy plan, including its timing and any adjustments, should be based on your assessment, clinical needs, and progress.
