Welcome to Pelvic Floor Health, where the health of your pelvic floor is valued and nurtured.
At Pelvic Floor Health, Sonia Scharfbillig combines her knowledge of pelvic health physiotherapy and musculoskeletal physiotherapy to provide comprehensive pelvic floor care. It may feel daunting to bring someone new into your healthcare team, especially when it involves the pelvic floor area. Rest assured that you will be given the time to explain your concerns and be listened to, without judgement. Sonia will work with you to help you make the best decisions on your journey towards better pelvic floor health.
During the initial appointment, you will be given a safe space to share your information and the goals you would like to achieve. You can choose whether you would like an examination of your pelvic floor muscles, or not. The muscles are just one part of the whole picture. Other parts may include your bladder or bowel function, how you move your pelvis, how your nerves may be involved and how much past experiences and future concerns play in the overall health of your pelvis.
Pelvic health physiotherapy:
· is recommended as first-line treatment for bladder and bowel incontinence by the International Continence Society;
· is recommended for improving symptoms of vaginal prolapse;
· has been found to improve bladder control before and after prostate surgery;
· is an important part of the multidisciplinary management plan for persistent pelvic pain.
Pelvic Floor Health is affiliated with the Adelaide Pelvic Pain Network (adelaidepelvicpainnetwork.org), a multidisciplinary healthcare team for women and men with persistent pelvic pain. Persistent (or chronic) pelvic pain can be extremely debilitating and often requires input from more than one health professional. Sonia works closely and meets regularly with the members of the Adelaide Pelvic Pain Network to ensure complete care is maintained.
