Urogynecological physiotherapy is an area of physiotherapy that focuses on the prevention or rehabilitation of pelvic floor dysfunctions.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of the pelvis that can often suffer serious changes, such as:
• urinary incontinence;
• prolapses;
• perineal pain;
• changes in bowel movements;
• sexual dysfunctions;
This specialty is also essential in post-surgical rehabilitation in cases related to the prostate and other organs of the male urological and sexual complex.
Urogynecological physiotherapy consultations also address conception issues (for those who wish to become pregnant) and fertility, and can also be used in postpartum rehabilitation, whether vaginal or cesarean delivery.
Urogynecological physiotherapy is performed by our specialist, Dr. Inês Valente, a physiotherapist specializing in urogynecology and obstetrics, who uses various intervention methodologies according to the treatment objective: from electrostimulation, biofeedback, hypopressive abdominal exercises, radiofrequency and dry needling, for example.
