What is pelvic floor therapy?
Physio Restart is specialized in the women's pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a network of muscles and connective tissue located in the pelvic area and plays an important role in bladder, bowel and uterus support. Pelvic floor physical therapy includes a variety of exercises and techniques that can help improve the relaxation, strength, endurance, and coordination. This includes:
-
Pelvic floor & core exercises
-
Biofeedback: This is a technique that uses special sensors to measure muscle activity in the pelvic floor and provide visual feedback. This can help learn proper muscle contraction and relaxation and improve exercise effectiveness.
-
Electrostimulation: This uses weak electrical impulses to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. This technique can be used with severe weakness or pain in the pelvic floor area.
-
Manual therapy (also intravaginal)
-
Behavioural interventions
-
Devices (vaginal weights, dilators)
Trust and confidentiality is our top priority, so that we can break taboo subjects.
Course of treatment & costs
In the beginning we will carry out the patient history taking, in which important information about your women's health, if existing pregnancy, professional and sporty surroundings are discussed. After enlightenment about the anatomy and function of the female pelvic floor, movement patterns are analysed, recommendations for everyday life and sport are given and the possibility of pelvic floor check-up is explained. This examination can be performed during the second session using a probe and manual palpation. This examination is also harmless during an existing pregnancy. Physio Restart is in the close exchange with gynecologists in Zurich.

Indications
We treat you after an injury and in any area which can be related to the pelvic floor. Even the jaw can be cause or trigger of your pelvic floor symptoms. Ideally, we want to avoid surgical intervention by starting treatment at an early stage. At the same time, we use preventative approaches in our treatment plans to reduce the risk of a recurrence. However, many patients also come to us in advance in order to avoid injury or illness in the first place through certain examinations, performance analyses and therapeutic measures.
