Meet Rebecca
Rebecca has been practicing as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist for over 10 years and developed an interest in women's and pelvic health after having her own children nearly four years ago. Being an active person and struggling with some postpartum issues herself, she realised how important the role of a pelvic health physio is in helping support women through times like this and getting them back to full function. Pelvic health conditions can have a huge impact on your quality of life, and Rebecca is really passionate about making sure your goals and concerns are listened to, so you can get back to feeling confident in your own skin.
What does a consultation involve?
Your initial consultation will involve the Physiotherapist asking questions of a personal nature. This is to ensure they have all of the necessary information to make a diagnosis, and formulate an individualised treatment plan. You have the right to decline to answer any questions.
To allow your Physiotherapist to make the best diagnosis and treatment plan, you may be asked to consent to a physical examination. This may involve observation and an internal examination or palpation of the perineal region. This is optional and you are able to consent or decline any form of physical assessment, at any time.
Do I have to have an internal examination?
For a number of pelvic floor conditions, this is the best way to assess any damage and function of the area. Our Physiotherapists in Hamilton and Ngāruawāhia are specially trained, however there is no pressure for you to have an internal examination. You will always be asked for consent prior to any assessment.
Do I need a referral?
You don't need a referral, however, where possible we will communicate with other health providers that are involved in your care.
