Why have physiotherapy for pelvic surgery
A hysterectomy or surgery for prolapse, incontinence or endometriosis affects the pelvic tissues and the pelvic floor. Afterwards you may experience weakness, pain, tight scars or fear of moving.
Before the operation
If you arrive with well-trained muscles, know how to activate them and know how to move, your recovery starts from a better base. We assess your pelvic floor, teach you how to breathe and explain which efforts to avoid afterwards.
After the operation
Once your medical team gives the go-ahead, we start with gentle mobility and pelvic floor activation. Later we work on the scars and a gradual return to exercise.

Frequently asked questions
If you’re asking yourself these questions, you’re not the only one. Here we answer them clearly.
When your medical team says so. It depends on the surgery and how you progress.
Yes. It helps you get to know your muscles and how to move afterwards.
Only once it has fully healed and you agree. We explain every step.
Your medical team decides. Then we plan a return in stages.
Yes. It’s never too late to work on a scar or regain strength.
It depends on each patient: your starting point, whether there is a deeper injury or condition, and how committed you are to the exercises at home. After the first session we decide on the right treatment. If you need individual follow-up, most people notice an improvement with a first pack of 5 sessions. From there, if you follow the guidelines at home, you may only need to come back for occasional check-ups. If there is a deeper injury, you may need to go beyond that first pack.
