Gynecological physiotherapy

Spinezio Prague 8 - Karlín

The female body requires an empathetic approach

Gynecological physiotherapy is a specialized area of care that helps women deal with difficulties that were previously often considered “normal” or “unsolvable.” Today, we know that proper function of the musculoskeletal system, especially the pelvic floor, can significantly affect not only pain, but also the ability to get pregnant, the course of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery.

Pelvic floor

It contributes to the stability of the body, the support of organs and fertility. It can be weakened or, conversely, overloaded and tense, which manifests itself, for example, in painful menstruation, sexual intercourse, incontinence or back pain. In therapy, we use direct treatment techniques (per vaginam/per rectum), exercises according to Mojžíšová, visceral therapy and yoga techniques. We perceive each woman as unique. We conduct therapy with maximum consideration, respect and trust.

Pregnancy

We help manage musculoskeletal pain, prepare the body for childbirth (pelvic floor relaxation, perineal massage, rebozo techniques), support the baby's turning, and overall make pregnancy as enjoyable as possible.

Postpartum care

We help with diastasis, incontinence, postpartum scar care (including cesarean section), prolapse, and painful conditions. The goal is to safely and healthily get your body back into shape.

Areas we focus on the most

We most often deal with:

Painful and irregular menstruation
Pain during intercourse
Functional infertility
Incontinence
Diastasis
Painful scars
Pain during pregnancy and after childbirth
Weakened or overloaded pelvic floor
Problems after abdominal and pelvic surgery

Initial examination after childbirth using ultrasound

After giving birth, your body deserves attention and sensitive care. That's why we offer an extended initial examination as part of gynecological physiotherapy.

How is the inclusion of ultrasound beneficial in postpartum care?

Ultrasound diagnostics are gentle, fast and painless
Including ultrasound in the examination allows for more precise targeting of therapy and exercise and can be used for feedback in therapy (so-called biofeedback).

What to expect from the examination?

Comprehensive examination

Therapy always begins with a conversation during which we discuss your current needs and goals. It is important for us whether you have any movement difficulties and what your personal experience with movement after childbirth is.
ultrasound examination of the abdominal wall and pelvic floor

Using ultrasound, we look beneath the surface and assess the quality of the fibrous connection of the abdominal muscles, the presence and extent of diastasis, and the function of the pelvic floor through the abdominal wall.
Standard physiotherapy examination

As with a classic examination, we focus on the function of the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor (an examination can also be performed per vaginam/per rectum) and identify compensatory patterns or weakened areas. This also includes a check on scar healing.

Conclusion with practical recommendations

Based on a comprehensive examination, we will design an individual therapeutic plan and practical recommendations to help you get back to what you love..
