What to expect from a pelvic health consultation
Pelvic health physiotherapy can be different to traditional physiotherapy. It is normal to be asked about your medical, surgical, drug and obstetric history as well as your bladder, bowel and sexual function.
It is normal to have a pelvic examination in this consultation if the therapist feels this will assist your treatment. Details of this are discussed during your consultation with your therapist.
A variety of tools and techniques can help to educate you during your consultation including anatomy models, diagrams, video links, bio feedback, electrical stimulus, lubrication advice, dilators, pumps, bladder diaries, education sheets and more.
This service offers follow up for patients who have undergone prostate surgery and some gynaecology surgeries here at Mater Private Network. You are provided with information on booking post-surgery.
All other referrals to the service should be sent by GP to Mater Private Network Dublin’s Pelvic Health Clinic.
Inpatient Services
Our in-patient physiotherapy team covers a wide range of areas and conditions. The areas that we provide support and treatment for include orthopaedics, cardiorespiratory, surgical, oncology, medical rehabilitation, neurology and care of the elderly.
You are provided with an individual assessment, and diagnosis and treatment options are clearly explained. All programmes are tailored to your needs.
