Our personalised care
During the first session, the physiotherapist will explain the therapeutic options available to find a suitable solutions to your problem and will request your consent for treatment.
After carrying out a case history, overall testing, digital palpation and on the basis of objectives defined together with you, the physiotherapist will apply different treatment approaches:
- Information on the structure and function of the pelvic floor using anatomical models
- Therapeutic education

The physiotherapist will use the following techniques, amongst others:
- Biofeedback : using a probe connected to a computer to visualise the muscular contraction and relaxation taking place.
