One of the most common conditions treated is female urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence can frequently respond to retraining the muscles of the pelvic floor. Ceridwen and Natali both have a special interest in women’s health physio (they’ve also both had 2 children each themselves!) and have both completed extra training in this area, so if you suffer from incontinence, book in for an assessment today.
The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has a great Q and A section on their website regarding urinary incontinence.
