What does initial assessment involve?

At your first appointment, your pelvic health physiotherapist will take a thorough history of your current situation, medical history and injuries or surgeries to date. Your physio will then do a physical examination, the nature of which will depend on your issue. They will generally start by looking at your posture before checking specific joints or muscles around the pelvis and/or hips. If required, real-time ultrasound or an internal examination may also be done. They will be able to identify what part of the LWF pathway you are on and individualised treatment program will then be developed to bring you to the resolve stage.
