What special about “Pelvic Floor Centre of Excellency” Our center provides a unique medical service for patient with pelvic floor dysfunction. For the first time “Functional MR imaging” is used to guide the physical therapy treatment plans.

What is Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy? Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialty area focusing on evaluating and treating the musculoskeletal and behavioral aspects of conditions within the abdomen and the pelvis. The pelvic floor muscles sit within the pelvis, running from the pubic bone to the tailbone and are involved in bladder and bowel function, sexual function, organ support and postural stability. These muscles work together with the deep abdominal muscles, low back muscles and respiratory diaphragm to play a key role in spine and pelvic support and stability throughout all aspects of movement. Why MRI before Physical therapy? The MR Imaging of the pelvic floor is a very specific imaging modality that studies function and structure. This end up with a detailed mapping for each and every muscle of the pelvic floor whether it is in status of weakness or spasm What is the difference to do physical therapy without versus with MRI? The answer is “Huge Difference”!! . Physical therapy based on MRI findings is a targeted defect specific approach. The physiotherapist knows before hand which muscle is the most affected and the exact type of affection. How this information will impact the treatment plan? The answer is “Very Simple” Instead of spending the 45 minutes of the session the physiotherapist works on all the pelvic floor muscles. MRI aided Physiotherapy sessions is targeted to the exact muscle that need full attention which mean that during the 45 minutes session our physiotherapist focus on specific muscle. What dose this mean? This means that our patient instead of feeling improvement after certain number of sessions she/he will feel improvement in half the number of sessions not aided with the MRI functional imaging of the pelvic floor
