What should a pelvic health clinic do? Especially when they should and could be treating the whole woman? In my opinion, and with what I witness in my clinic, spaces are not treating the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges that exist within women’s health.
Pelvic health clinic for all the bodies
To treat the physical challenges that exist from within the pelvis without noting the emotional and spiritual challenges a women is dealing with/has, is a huge disservice to pelvic floor physiotherapy.
We live in a society that demonises being a woman. A society that ignores the necessity for girls and women to tend to their pelvic health needs from the get go. How can we expect to empower ourselves and our pelvic health when we don’t understand what it means. What is our pelvic health to us and to society? What does it mean to work with our pelvic floor?
When it comes to working with our pelvic floor is a lack of education around how the muscles are holding. Just doing our kegals/squeezies isn’t enough. There’s more to it than this.
Traditional pelvic health spaces are a springboard to working with a whole-body approach when it comes to our pelvoc health. But they are not treating the whole woman.
What I see in pelvic health clinics
This is why those who land in my pelvic health clinic here in Kent have often explored and then exhausted all other routes.
They have been to a pelvic floor physiotherapist, seen the consultants, the gynaecologists and then still feel lost. Still navigating the same pelvis health challenge or more in some cases. I often have someone who still wets themselves, though less, after seeing a pelvic health physiotherapist And then in my space, the incontinence completely stops.
I speak to what it means to work in a holistic pelvic health clinic below:
In my pelvic health clinic here in Margate, I offer a holistic 1-1 pelvic health care either in-person or online. You can read more here.
