Pelvic Health

Pelvic floor physiotherapy involves assessing and treating symptoms related to the abdomino-pelvic region, namely the pelvic floor in women, men and nonbinary people. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, nerves and connective tissue forming the base of the pelvis. 

The pelvic floor and surrounding musculoskeletal structures (lumbar region, sacroiliac, hip, etc.) are treated holistically to support optimal function of the urinary, anorectal and sexual systems. 

A thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan is created, including education, manual and exercise tools to heal, prevent and optimize pelvic health. The rehabilitation experience promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, ensuring patient-centered continuity of care. 

A unique integrated approach is offered, merging both pelvic and sports rehabilitation for active and athletic individuals. The goal is not only to help individuals live without pain or dysfunction but thrive for optimal function and fulfillment in pelvic health.

Sports and Orthopedic

Sports and orthopedic physiotherapy involves evaluating and treating symptoms related to the musculoskeletal system and injuries sustained during sports. A functional and integrated approach to rehabilitation is offered, from healing injuries to optimizing function and sport performance. 

Following a thorough assessment, a personalized and sport-specific rehabilitation program is created including a synergy of manual and movement therapies, such as the ELDOA method. Interdisciplinary collaborative care with a network of professionals and coaches is part of the process. 

To ensure continuity of care and sustainable results, rehabilitation programs and return-to-sport plans are periodized. In addition, prehabilitation programs aid in injury prevention as well as movement and performance optimization.

A unique expertise is offered in artistic sports rehabilitation with a personal understanding of the specific biomechanical demands of such sports on the body.
