What an online pelvic floor physio consultation includes

A virtual session focuses on what can be assessed and treated safely without internal examination.

Your physiotherapist will:

• Take a detailed symptom and medical history
• Assess breathing, posture, movement patterns and core coordination
• Identify whether symptoms relate to weakness, tightness, poor coordination, or overload
• Explain what is happening in clear, practical terms
• Create a personalised treatment plan, which may include:
  • Targeted exercises (strengthening or relaxation)
  • Breathing and pressure-management strategies
  • Lifestyle and activity guidance
  • Education on what to avoid and what is safe to continue

You’ll leave with a clear plan and next steps.

Is online pelvic floor physiotherapy effective?

Yes - for many people.

Online pelvic floor physiotherapy is particularly effective for:

• Incontinence and bladder control issues
• Early or mild prolapse symptoms
• Pain related to muscle tension or coordination
• Pregnancy, postpartum and menopause-related pelvic floor changes
• People who want expert guidance before symptoms worsen

If at any point an in-person assessment is required, your physiotherapist will advise this clearly.

When online care may not be appropriate (red flags)

You should seek urgent or in-person care if you have:

• Sudden or severe pelvic pain
• Unexplained bleeding
• New neurological symptoms
• Signs of infection
• Severe prolapse symptoms that cannot be managed conservatively

Your safety always comes first.

Frequently asked questions

Can pelvic floor problems really be treated online? Yes. Many pelvic floor conditions respond well to education, movement analysis, breathing work and tailored exercise programmes that do not require internal examination.

Do I need to know whether my pelvic floor is weak or tight before booking? No. Determining this is part of the assessment. Many people have symptoms because of tension or poor coordination rather than weakness.

Is this suitable during pregnancy? Yes. Online pelvic floor physiotherapy is commonly used during pregnancy to manage symptoms and prepare safely for birth.

Can you help if I’m years postpartum or menopausal? Yes. Pelvic floor symptoms can appear or change years after birth and during menopause. It is never “too late” to seek help.

Will I need an internal examination? No. Online consultations do not include internal examinations. If one is clinically necessary, you will be advised on next steps.
