Sexual Pain and Pelvic Pain

Whether you are getting ready for pregnancy or you are recovering from childbirth, pelvic floor physiotherapy is highly recommended to prevent and manage conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence.
A return to exercise assessment/ check up is recommended after childbirth.
