PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION
Your pelvic floor is a muscular hammock at the base of your pelvis.
It has three main attachments. The pubic bone at the front of the pelvis, the sit bones at the sides, and the tailbone at the back. The urethra, rectum and vagina (for people who have one) pass through these muscles.
When the muscles of the pelvic floor become weak or tight (or a combination of both) dysfunction can occur. This can lead to bladder and bowel issues, pelvic organ prolapse and pain.
The Pelvic Studio is a pelvic floor physiotherapy clinic, and our team are expertly trained to assist you with pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is recommended as first line treatment for pelvic floor conditions. and should be explored first prior to considering medical/surgical avenues.
Although our expertise lies with the pelvis, we look at your body as a whole; including how you move, how you breathe, how you think, and your lifestyle.
We pride ourselves on providing holistic patient centred care.
TESTIMONIALS
If you have a pelvis you should go see Jaclyn at The Pelvic Studio!!!
When I first started seeing Jaclyn I was in significant chronic pain everyday and was not enjoying life. I had seen many other practitioners in the past but none with such a fresh approach. In a few short weeks my pain reduced by 75%! After a few months I now only have one or two mildly sore days and have the skills and knowledge to manage my symptoms.
I have gone from struggling to walk and play with my son to be able to jog short distances and enjoying exercise again. Most importantly I have the function to live my life, without pain.
Jaclyn's approach is fresh, evidence based and extremely thorough. Jaclyn makes you feel so comfortable which is important working in such vulnerable areas of the body.
