At Peninsula Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy we pride ourselves on helping our clients with a range of problems that can at times be difficult to talk about. We work out of Pinnacle Physiotherapy in Dromana and The Sports Injury Clinic in Frankston. Our team of Physiotherapists are highly trained in management of problems in the pelvic region.

Most people think that women are the only ones with a pelvic floor. This is not the case! Men and children can also have pelvic floor problems. We treat musculoskeletal problems of the pelvis, or issues relating to the bladder, bowel and very importantly, adult sexual function. Cee Heron, Kat Walker and Taylor Nixon at our Frankston location can help with problems of adolescents and children.

2020 marked 10 years of Peninsula Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy at “The Sports Injury Clinic “ in Frankston. But we would also like to reflect on a great 10 year collaboration with Pinnacle Physiotherapy in Dromana: 2020 marked the 10 year anniversary of Peninsula Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy working from Pinnacle, Dromana. Rebecca Bruce will continue to offer Pelvic Health Physiotherapy from Dromana.

With over 10 Years offering services on the Mornington Peninsula, we want all men, women and children to know that they can find help for pelvic floor problems. If you, or someone you know suffers with pelvic floor issues, we can offer help. We provide solutions and treatments available in a safe and respectful environment. We treat our clients with face to face appointments and with a very hands on approach. During the consultation, we will explain everything that we can offer. We will always give you the opportunity to give informed consent, for any examination, in this very personal area of the body. We use real time ultrasound to see muscles that are hidden deep in the pelvis. This way, you can see what’s going on without the need always for more full examination.

Pinnacle Physiotherapy, like The Sports Injury Clinic, is a wonderful place to work. We are situated over the road from the beach and the geographical situation is genuinely uplifting: we look across to the Bay and behind us, we look up to Arthur’s Seat. How good is The Mornington Peninsula?

We offer help for a wide range of problems relating to the pelvic floor and pelvic region. This of course extends to help pregnant women before delivery and after. Pregnancy is a key time for women to learn about pelvic floor function for wellbeing both during the pregnancy and after delivery. All women should be given the opportunity to learn about pelvic floor muscles function regardless of delivery: whether caesarian or vaginal delivery, everyone has a pelvic floor, and almost everyone will have a degree of abdominal separation.

So not only do we offer help relating to the pelvic floor for women who have recently given birth, we offer exercises and help for abdominal separation, prolapse, bladder control, constipation and pelvic pain for example.

We would like also to highlight the fact that men often don’t know where to turn to for pelvic problems. But we want to assure all the men out there that bladder issues, prostate related problems, bowel issues, pelvic pain and even sexual pain is something we deal with on
a regular basis. These problems are embarrassing and difficult to talk about but we need to make this topic less taboo so that men too can find solutions.

So many men and women live with symptoms of pelvic floor issues everyday; they are not always aware that pelvic floor physiotherapy treatments are available to them. You can access our services directly without a referral or other health professionals may refer you. Your G.P might be able, if you are eligible, to provide a Medicare Care Plan to enable some Medicare rebate towards the cost of a consultation.
If you live in and around Dromana and suffer with any of the above symptoms or conditions relating to pelvis and pelvic floor you should make an appointment to come and Rebecca Bruce.

You can make an appointment with Rebecca Bruce at Pinnacle Physiotherapy on 03 5981 8008 or online via our website www.ppfp.com.au contact page.
