What does a first pelvic floor physiotherapy session involve?

A structured conversation about your symptoms and history, an external musculoskeletal assessment, and, with your informed consent, an internal pelvic floor assessment. You decide what is examined; we explain each step before it happens. The assessment shapes the plan.

Does pelvic floor physiotherapy work for stress urinary incontinence?

Yes. Pelvic floor muscle training is the first-line, evidence-based treatment for stress urinary incontinence, recommended internationally before any surgical option. Most patients see meaningful improvement with a structured programme; timelines vary by individual.

Is the internal assessment compulsory?

No. We can begin with the external assessment alone if that is what you prefer. The internal assessment provides important information about pelvic floor tone and coordination, but we never proceed without your informed consent, and you can stop at any point.

I have an overactive pelvic floor. Will Kegels make it worse?

Often, yes. An overactive or hypertonic pelvic floor needs downtraining, breathing work, and manual release rather than strengthening. Generic Kegel advice can worsen symptoms in this group. Our assessment determines which direction your floor needs.

Can pelvic floor physiotherapy help prolapse?

For mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic floor physiotherapy plus pessary management can meaningfully improve symptoms and is recommended before surgical consideration. For more advanced prolapse, we work alongside your gynaecologist on combined plans.

How does insurance work?

We are insurance-friendly through a pay-and-claim model. You pay at the clinic, and we provide detailed invoices and medical reports so you can submit reimbursement claims directly to your insurer. We recommend calling your insurer before your visit to confirm pelvic floor physiotherapy coverage.

How We Approach Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Comprehensive Pelvic Floor Assessment: A structured conversation about your history and symptoms, an external musculoskeletal assessment, and, with your informed consent, an internal assessment that maps strength, tone, coordination, and any tender points.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Individualised pelvic floor training: strengthening for hypotonic floors, downtraining for overactive floors, and coordination work for poor timing. The protocol follows the assessment, not a generic plan.

Manual Therapy: Internal and external manual techniques to release pelvic floor tension, address scar tissue, and ease coccyx pain. Always with consent and patient control over the session.

Bladder and Bowel Habit Coaching: Practical changes to fluid timing, bladder training schedules, and toileting posture, often the most overlooked part of incontinence care.

Vaginismus and Pelvic Pain Downtraining: Breathing, pelvic floor relaxation, graded exposure, education, and manual techniques when appropriate for overactive pelvic floor patterns.

Return-to-Exercise Planning: A graded return to running, lifting, and high-impact training after pregnancy, sequenced to your pelvic floor and abdominal recovery rather than to a calendar.

How We Work

Care that goes beyond the clinical room

Real tools that change how you experience your treatment, from the moment you walk in to the day you walk out pain-free.

Live Translation AI

The moment you walk in, our front desk speaks your language. So does your doctor during every consultation and session. Real-time audio translation runs in both directions with zero latency, so we effectively speak every language, not just three.

Physio Cure Connect

Your care continues between visits in Physio Cure Connect. Manage appointments, follow your recovery, review session history and doctor-published clinical updates, message your doctor securely in the Recovery Room, and download invoices on iOS, Android, or the web.

Doctor-guided home exercise plan

Your Recovery Room turns prescribed home exercises into clear, patient-specific guidance: exact dosage, step-by-step technique, start-and-finish visuals, video demonstrations, common mistakes, safety notes, and progression rules.

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Flexible payments

Pay by card, Tabby installments, Ziina, or a private payment link. Whatever works for you.

Why patients choose Dr. Nada Mohammad

Pelvic floor work is sensitive, technical, and deeply personal. Trust matters as much as skill. Patients consistently describe her as attentive, kind, and knowledgeable from the very first session, and for many of them, she is hands-on and tailored, with a treatment that adapts to each session.

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.
