Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
*SEE ABOVE FOR REGULAR PHYSIOTHERAPY*
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a focused area of physiotherapy that involves both internal and external evaluations and treatments of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles, situated between the hip bones and the sacrum, form a supportive bowl for the pelvic organs, including the bladder, colon, and uterus. Everyone possesses a pelvic floor, which plays a crucial role in supporting the urinary and reproductive systems while also regulating bladder and bowel control. In women, the pelvic floor stabilizes the bladder at the front and the vagina and rectum at the back, with the uterus being anchored at the top by muscles, tendons, and connective tissue. For men, the pelvic floor serves to support the bowels, bladder, urethra, and rectum. These muscles connect to the tailbone and pubic bone, and when they become weak or dysfunctional, it leads to a condition known as pelvic floor dysfunction.
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy (RLT) is a treatment that employs low-intensity red light to enhance the skin's appearance, potentially diminishing wrinkles, scars, redness, and acne. Additionally, it is claimed to address various medical issues. Currently, extensive research is underway, with numerous small studies and online discussions exploring the efficacy of red light therapy for diverse health applications. While some studies indicate encouraging results, the overall effectiveness of red light therapy remains to be fully established.
MPS Scar Release
Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) scar release therapy employs microcurrent technology to dissolve scar adhesions, enhance mobility, alleviate pain, and boost sensation. The procedure is non-invasive and generally painless, with most individuals experiencing only a mild tingling feeling.
