Pelvic and perinatal physiotherapy in Ixelles

Would you like to discuss pelvic floor concerns, care during pregnancy or recovery after childbirth? A first appointment starts with your request and what you would like to return to doing in daily life.

Questions you can bring

Urinary leakage, pelvic discomfort and difficulty returning to activity can be described in your own words. Note how often they happen, the situations involved and any advice already received. A symptom alone is not enough to choose an exercise.

What to expect

The conversation covers your history, expectations and any guidance from your maternity or medical team. Ask what the proposed assessment involves. You can request explanations, decline an examination or ask for a pause. Further care should take account of your circumstances and comfort.

Before your visit

Bring useful reports and any prescription. Note questions about daily activities, returning to sport or exercises already suggested. Do not automatically add an online exercise routine to an existing plan. Acute pain, fever or unusual bleeding need medical advice, especially during or after pregnancy.

Understanding pelvic floor exercises

Exercises may form part of care, but the choice and technique should fit your needs. The NHS pregnancy exercise information describes their general role. It does not replace assessment or your maternity team’s instructions.

Arranging an appointment

The profile below presents the pelvic and perinatal care documented at Rebalance. You can also meet the whole physiotherapy team. Describe your request before booking to confirm the arrangements for this service. Our first appointment guide covers general preparation.

Who might discuss this care?

Pelvic physiotherapy is not limited to the period after childbirth. It may be discussed for leakage during effort, a feeling of heaviness, pain, difficulty returning to sport or a wish to understand pelvic floor function better. Men and women may also seek care in urological, digestive or post-operative contexts.

Goals that connect with daily life

Care may focus on better control of urgency, returning to activity without apprehension, finding a comfortable movement or coordinating breathing and effort. Ask how progress will be observed and how exercises can be adjusted on a busy day, during pregnancy or when returning to sport.
