This appointment is suitable for concerns such as:

Not every physiotherapist at our clinic performs both types of internal assessments. Often a reason for an internal assessment would be for a prolapse assessment if you require that.

All other pelvic floor needs can be treated by Georgia, Aliesha, and Lily.

Do I need an internal assessment?

An internal assessment is not automatically required for pelvic floor physiotherapy.

However, depending on your symptoms, an internal assessment may provide important information about pelvic floor muscle function and pelvic organ support. If you're not sure, feel free to chat with our reception team. There is also ZERO pressure to have this assessment done if you don't want to.
