Pelvic Health Osteopathy
A Whole-Body Approach to Pelvic Health
Pelvic health concerns are more common than many people realise, yet they often go unaddressed due to discomfort, uncertainty, or difficulty navigating the healthcare system. At Bodyfocus, we understand the sensitive nature of pelvic health issues and provide a compassionate, evidence-based approach to help you regain confidence, comfort, and control over your well-being.
Our Pelvic Health Osteopathy service takes a whole-body approach to assessment and treatment, recognising that musculoskeletal imbalances throughout the body can impact pelvic floor function. Whether you're experiencing discomfort, dysfunction, or simply seeking proactive care, our goal is to restore balance, reduce symptoms, and improve your quality of life.
How Pelvic Health Osteopathy Differs & Complements Other Allied Health Approaches
Pelvic Health Osteopathy offers a unique, hands-on treatment approach that aims to complement other healthcare services such as Pelvic Health Physiotherapy, Gynaecology, and General Medicine. While each discipline plays a crucial role in pelvic health management, our osteopathic approach provides a distinctive contribution by addressing biomechanical, musculoskeletal, and functional movement patterns that may be influencing pelvic health.
✅ Pelvic Health Osteopathy vs. Physiotherapy – While physiotherapy focuses on pelvic floor muscle activation, retraining, and internal rehabilitation, osteopathy takes a holistic approach, examining how the entire musculoskeletal system, posture, breathing, and mobility influence the pelvic floor. We address tension, restrictions, and dysfunctions in areas such as the spine, hips, sacrum, and diaphragm that may be contributing to symptoms.
✅ Pelvic Health Osteopathy vs. Gynaecology – Gynaecologists focus on medical diagnosis and treatment for pelvic conditions such as endometriosis, prolapse, and hormonal imbalances. Osteopathy does not replace medical assessments but works alongside them to help improve movement, reduce pain, and restore balance through gentle, hands-on techniques and rehabilitation strategies.
✅ A Collaborative, Team-Based Approach – At Bodyfocus, we believe in working together with other healthcare professionals to provide the most comprehensive and effective care for our patients. If needed, we will refer or collaborate with pelvic health physiotherapists, gynaecologists, and other specialists to ensure you receive the best possible treatment plan.
By integrating Pelvic Health Osteopathy into your care, we aim to enhance overall function, alleviate pain, and support long-term recovery, while ensuring continuity of care within a team care approach.
