We are the Pelvic Health Professionals in Melbourne
At Hume Osteopathic Clinic, the goal for pelvic health is to improve pelvic floor function. We do this through hands on treatment (both internal and external), individualised exercise programming and general lifestyle modifications.
What is Pelvic Health?
Pelvic Health is ensuring that the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs are functioning in the best possible way. Pelvic Health concerns can present itself in different ways which include:
- Back, hip, coccyx, pelvic pain
- Bladder leakage / urgency (rushing to the toilet)
- Prolapse symptoms ~ heaviness, dragging sensation
- Constipation
- Pain with intercourse (vaginal penetration)
- Sexual dysfunction
- Menstrual pain
- Faecal incontinence
The Treatment Process
We will first take a thorough medical history. There will also be an online questionnaire to fill out prior to your appointment. This will help us gather in depth knowledge about your bladder and bowel function.
Your medical history discussion will give us an indication of what assessment and treatment will be needed to take place in our session.
Internal Assessment/Treatment
This is an optional part of treatment. Internal assessment will give us a better understanding of what is happening in the pelvic floor. Assessment will include:
- Internal vagina palpation (assessing pelvic floor muscle tension and trigger point therapy)
- External vulva assessment
- Pelvic floor assessment – testing to see if your pelvic floor is weak or overactive
Treatment/Programming
Our osteopaths Esra, Sezen and Anita will work with you to create an individualised plan that works best for you. As osteopaths, we work holistically looking at the body as whole. We don’t just assess the pelvic floor! We look at all potential imbalances in the musculoskeletal system as well as biomechanical forces, fascial lines, joints, nerve, circulation etc.
Treatment may include:
- Hands on treatment (external and internal)
- Education
- Further testing: bladder diary, referrals etc
- Individualised exercise program
