Our skilled Pelvic Health Physiotherapist will put you at ease and help you regain function in the pelvic area. We offer personalised advice, tailored exercise programs, and if necessary internal examinations.
All our Men’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapy appointments at Sussex Physio Pilates are with Ruth Smith at our dedicated Worthing Physiotherapy practice in West Sussex.
Ruth is an experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who has undergone specialist Men’s Pelvic Health training, to assess and treat Pelvic Dysfunctions such as:
- Urinary Incontinence (for example after prostate surgery)
- Bladder & Bowel Dysfunctions (for example after medical treatment or operations)
- Pelvic Pain (pain either in the genitals or deep inside the pelvis)
What is the Pelvic Floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that form the ‘floor of your core’. Just like other body muscles, they can become weak or tight (due to injury, surgery or stress).
Examining the Pelvic Floor:
Pelvic Health Physiotherapists may assess the pelvic floor by performing either an external or an internal examination. This allows us to determine the tone and strength of the muscles, as well as checking that the muscles are working in the correct way.
Thise examination part of the assessment is only performed if you feel comfortable and give your valid consent.
You are welcome to bring a Chaperone.
Ruth has undergone additional Specialist Pelvic Health training with the POGP (Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy), and also with Dr Ruth Jones, Maria Elliot and Kate Walsh.
