Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Windsor
Specialist pelvic floor physiotherapy in Windsor provides non-surgical clinical assessment and targeted muscle retraining for stress incontinence, urge incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and bowel weakness. With over 45 years of specialist clinical experience at The Carter and George Practice, I provide personalised continence rehabilitation programmes tailored to your recovery goals.
Before Treatment Commences
Each patient is individually assessed to determine whether physiotherapy is appropriate. This includes a detailed history of medical, surgical, lifestyle and sporting activities.
The various treatment options are fully discussed at all stages and, depending on the type of incontinence, may include bladder training, pelvic floor exercises, and biofeedback and or muscle stimulation if the pelvic floor muscles are particularly weak. Often pelvic floor muscle weakness manifests itself in other pelvic muscles in the body and so a full examination of all the surrounding structures is sometimes indicated.
Progression of Treatment
After the initial visit, the patient returns at regular intervals depending on the rate of progress and there is ample opportunity to discuss the treatment at every stage. In addition, keeping a symptom diary between treatment sessions is helpful to both the physiotherapist and the patient.
Referral Options
There are many ways to be referred for treatment; self-referral or via your GP or consultant. All insurance companies ask for a doctor’s referral prior to your first consultation and your preferred medical practitioner will be kept fully informed of your progress.
