Pelvic complaints during and after pregnancy are very common, but you don't have to continue to suffer with them.

Most of the time, these issues can be effectively treated through pelvic physiotherapy. A few sessions with a specialized pelvic physiotherapist can already help reduce the complaints.

You can consult a pelvic physiotherapist for the following complaints during or after pregnancy:

Pain around the hips
Pain in the lower back or buttocks
Pain around the pubic bone, in the groin, your tailbone, or sit bones
With 'start-up pain': when you stand up, sit down, turn over in bed, or bend over
Pain while walking
A heavy feeling or pain in the legs
Pain during intercourse
Involuntary urine leakage
Involuntary loss of stool
Heavy feeling or pain in the lower abdomen or vagina
Feeling pressure in the vagina or anus, sensation of a ball in the vagina
Diastasis
You can come to us for a pelvic floor exam after childbirth.

Insurance & compensation

Pelvic physiotherapy, like regular physiotherapy, is covered by supplementary insurance. The number of treatments covered depends on the amount of your supplementary insurance.

Only in the case of urine leakage, pelvic physiotherapy is reimbursed 9 times by the basic insurance, this is deducted from the (compulsory) deductible.

Treatment

Let us look at your complaint together. Where does it come from? As pelvic physiotherapists, we don't think anything is strange. So you can tell us everything. We take our time, which is why the intake takes an hour.

The pelvic physical therapist helps you learn to recognize, use, and relax the muscles around your pelvis. Sometimes special equipment is used. This equipment measures the activity of the pelvic floor muscles so you can see what you are (not) doing.

If needed, the pelvic physical therapist can give advice about posture, pelvic tension, toileting, eating and drinking habits, support devices such as a pelvic belt, and exercise. People can also see a pelvic physical therapist with questions about sex.

A pelvic physical therapist is qualified and trained to perform an internal exam. If you prefer not to have an internal exam, we can look at other ways to assess pelvic floor function.
