We will welcome you to the clinic and discuss your condition, concerns, and general health. Please bring any relevant investigations such as hospital discharge summaries, bladder/bowel diaries, ultrasound scans, etc. These will be reviewed by the physiotherapist. You may be given a bladder and/or bowel diary to complete for further analysis by the physiotherapist. The physiotherapist may use the ultrasound machine to check your pelvic floor muscles (the scanner is placed on the lower abdomen). At times it may be recommended to do an internal pelvic floor exam, however if you do not wish to have this examination performed that is ok, just let us know.
