Pelvic floor physiotherapy and surgery are not alternatives — New York

Medically reviewed by Dr Renaud Bollens — Professor of Urology

New York

Pelvic floor physiotherapy and surgery are not alternatives, seen through the experience of patients in New York, where sitting, commuting and desk work dominate the day.

Well-directed pelvic floor physiotherapy is valuable and, for many patients, sufficient. For a compressed nerve, however, it manages the consequences rather than the cause.

The most effective plans combine both: physiotherapy to address secondary muscle guarding, and a surgical opinion to address a mechanical compression when one is present.

We coordinate with local physiotherapists in the patient's own city, including New York, so care continues between and after appointments.

Video consultations are scheduled for Eastern Time so New York patients do not need to take a day off to be assessed.
