My name is Marie-Pierre Fournier. I have been a physiotherapy therapist for eight years and have owned a clinic for almost three years.
Patients seek pelvic-perineal rehabilitation for a variety of reasons. Commonly, these include discomfort due to pelvic organ prolapse (POP), stress urinary incontinence or urgency incontinence, lower back or sacroiliac pain, or simply to regain control of the pelvic floor and ensure a gradual return to sports activities postpartum.
Pelvic pain affects more women than we might think. Its prevalence varies according to different studies and is probably underestimated. It is often associated with negative cognitive, behavioral, sexual, and emotional consequences, in addition to being linked to physical symptoms such as urinary infections and/or sexual, intestinal, pelvic floor, or gynecological dysfunctions.
