It provides objectives to equip individuals with self-mastery tools to retrain their bladders, empower them as healthcare advocates, and understand combination therapy. It then describes overactive bladder and its causes, treatments including behavioral changes and bladder retraining. Bladder retraining is a six-week program where individuals time their urination to gradually increase the time between trips to the bathroom. Tips are provided to help stick with the program and manage any setbacks. Resources from the North American Menopause Society are also shared.
Diastasis recti
This document discusses diastasis recti, which is a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles along the midline. Diastasis recti commonly occurs during pregnancy due to hormonal and biomechanical factors and can lead to back pain and hernias. Examination involves checking for a separation greater than 2 cm between the muscles. Treatment consists of exercises to gently bring the muscles back together, like pelvic tilts and modified crunches while avoiding twisting motions or heavy lifting that could worsen the separation. Proper form and gradual progression are important to rehabilitate the abdominal muscles.
Incontinence
Urinary incontinence, or the involuntary loss of urine, is a common problem that affects millions of people worldwide. It can be caused by issues with the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and urethra. There are different types of incontinence including stress, urgency, and mixed incontinence. Treatment options include behavioral techniques like bladder training, pelvic floor exercises, medications to control bladder symptoms, and in severe cases, surgery to repair damaged pelvic floor muscles or tissues. Proper diagnosis involves taking a medical history and conducting physical exams and tests to determine the cause of incontinence.
Mastectomy and its physiotherapy managment
Mastectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of the breast. Physiotherapy management of mastectomy involves pre-operative and post-operative care. Pre-operatively, assessment is done and exercises are prescribed to maintain range of motion and strength. Post-operatively, the goals are to restore range of motion, reduce pain and swelling, prevent stiffness, and improve function. A protocol of exercises like deep breathing, walking, pendulums, and stretches are followed to regain mobility and strength while avoiding complications like lymphedema and limited range of motion.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation

Autogenic Drainage
Autogenic Drainage (AD) is a breathing technique developed in the 1960s/80s in Europe to clear secretions from the lungs using controlled breathing and minimal coughing. It involves three phases - unsticking secretions with small breaths, collecting secretions in the middle airways with medium breaths, and evacuating secretions into the mouth with deep breaths to be spit out. Each phase takes 2-3 minutes for a total of 6-9 minutes. The technique aims to hear and feel secretions being moved up the airways with exhalation instead of coughing.
Physiotherapy in antenatal & post natal care
Physiotherapy plays an important role in both antenatal and postnatal care. During antenatal care, physiotherapists provide exercises to prevent or treat musculoskeletal issues, educate on proper posture and lifestyle, and prepare women for labor through relaxation techniques. Postnatally, physiotherapists focus on restoring muscle strength through an exercise program, treating issues like perineal pain, and educating on proper posture while caring for a baby.
Lobectomy
Lobectomy is a surgical procedure where a lobe of the lung is removed, and is the primary treatment for early-stage lung cancer. The surgery can be performed via open thoracotomy or minimally invasive VATS or RATS techniques. Post-operative physiotherapy protocols focus on pain management, lung expansion exercises, early mobilization, airway clearance techniques, and range of motion exercises to optimize recovery.
Antenatal physiotherapy
This document provides information about antenatal physiotherapy including its aims, guidelines, exercises and common discomforts during pregnancy. The aims are to improve mother and baby's health and ensure they are prepared for labor, lactation and infant care.

Post-operative care includes keeping a nasogastric tube in place for drainage and gradually advancing the diet. Physiotherapy focuses on chest physiotherapy to clear secretions, early mobilization, and wound care. For cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), common causes are gallstones and infections. Laparoscopic surgery is now common, and potential complications include bile duct damage. Physiotherapy assesses for
Pnf techniques
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a stretching technique developed in the 1940s to rehabilitate polio patients. It involves contracting and relaxing muscles while stretching to maximize flexibility. Common PNF techniques include hold-relax, contract-relax, and hold-relax-active contraction. The techniques use isometric contractions to trigger a reflex that allows deeper stretching. PNF can enhance strength, balance, mobility and treat neuromuscular deficits.
Kyphosis
This document defines thoracic kyphosis as an excessive backward curvature of the spine in the thoracic region. It is caused by factors like poor posture, arthritis, lung issues, and diseases affecting the vertebrae. There are different types including round and angular kyphosis. Management involves exercises to improve mobility, posture training, manual mobilization, and bracing for more severe cases. Rehabilitation approaches aim to stretch tightened areas and strengthen weakened muscles to reduce the deformity.
pneumonectomy
This document describes the procedure of pneumonectomy and the role of physiotherapy both before and after the surgery. Pneumonectomy involves complete removal of a lung, usually done to treat lung cancer, infections, or other lung diseases. Physiotherapy before surgery focuses on teaching exercises and breathing techniques to prepare the patient. After surgery, physiotherapy aims to clear secretions, expand the remaining lung, prevent complications, and restore movement and exercise tolerance through a gradual recovery program over 2-3 weeks before discharge.
Effective kegel exercise
Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and are important for both men and women. They can help improve bladder and bowel control, prevent urine and stool leakage, aid in erectile function, and potentially prevent premature ejaculation in men. The exercises work to strengthen muscles that support the bladder, bowel and sexual organs. A link is provided to instruct how to correctly identify and exercise the pelvic floor muscles.

PHYSIOTHERAPY IN WOMENS HEALTH.pptx
PPT that made a short and crisp description on physiotherapy role in women's health at a glimpse.
Physical therapist plays a over all role in all stages of a women.Physiotherapist or a pelvicfloor physicall therapist plays a all arounder in childbirth educator, as a labour doula, as lactation expert , as a postpartum doula, as a pelvicrehab practitioner etc.. So all you need to understand is a WOMEN'S HEALTH/ PELVICFLOOR PT is a person who benifits women at all the stages.
PELVIC FLOOR REHABILITATION
Pelvic floor disorders include a wide-ranging group of potentially
disabling, embarrassing, and often painful conditions that can
greatly affect a person’s quality of life. The pelvic floor consists of
muscles, fascia, and ligaments that support the pelvic organs and
help to provide control for bodily functions. Pathology within the
musculoskeletal and neurologic structures of the deep pelvis can
lead to the development of pelvic pain, dyspareunia, voiding dysfunction
including urinary incontinence or urinary urgency, fecal
incontinence (FI), constipation, and pelvic organ prolapse (POP)
.
Both women and men can develop pelvic floor disorders,
although women are at increased risk compared with men because
of their unique anatomy and biomechanics. The female pelvis is
broader and shallower, requiring greater muscular and ligamentous
stiffness to provide support and stability. Women are also
more likely to incur injury to the pelvic floor as a result of pregnancy
and childbirth. As a result, abnormal biomechanics of the
pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) may lead to changes in contraction,
relaxation, muscle strength, and myofascial pain. In a 2014 study,
the prevalence of symptomatic pelvic floor disorders in the United
States was estimated to be approximately 25%. It is important
to note that this percentage does not consider women with pelvic
pain due to high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction.
People with pelvic floor disorders benefit from an interdisciplinary
rehabilitation approach to improve function and reduce pain.
Physiatrists with experience in acute and chronic pain, neurologic
and musculoskeletal conditions, and neurogenic bowel/bladder
management are well suited to direct such a patient’s care.In
addition to diagnosing and managing the patient’s pelvic floor
disorder medically, the physiatrist plays a key role in providing
a detailed prescription for physical therapy.
Cervical and Lumbar Traction
This document discusses cervical and lumbar traction for relieving neck and back pain. Cervical traction uses gentle pulling of the head to relieve pressure in the neck, while lumbar traction does the same for the lower back. Both can help with issues like muscle spasms, disc problems, and nerve impingement. There are many devices and techniques described that provide traction, including overhead pulleys, inflatable harnesses, inversion tables, and manual methods done by therapists. The effectiveness of traction is debated, but it may provide benefits for some individuals when used appropriately.
Neurogenic bladder
Neurogenic bladder refers to urinary bladder dysfunction caused by diseases of the central or peripheral nervous system that control urination. There are two main types: a flaccid bladder that does not contract fully, causing urine to dribble out continuously, and a spastic bladder with involuntary contractions causing frequent urination. Common causes include stroke, Parkinson's, MS, spinal cord injuries, and neurological disorders from conditions like diabetes. Symptoms include frequent urination, incontinence, and urinary retention. Treatment involves medications to relax or stimulate the bladder along with exercises and sometimes surgery.

Kegel exercises
- 1. Kegel Exercises As recommended by the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada, Kegel exercises strengthen core and perineal muscles. Kegel exercises strengthen the muscles around the perineum (the area between the vagina and the rectum). They prepare you for childbirth, and they can also prevent urinary stress incontinence, those “accidents” that happen when you cough, laugh or exert yourself. By doing them regularly, you will develop a good habit that you will find useful your whole life. These exercises will help you get back in shape after childbirth, and prevent incontinence problems as you age. 1. Sit or stand in a comfortable, relaxed position. 2. Locate the perineal muscles. They are the same muscles you use when you are trying to hold your urine or stool. Contract them. 3. Hold the contraction for 5–10 seconds. 4. Don’t hold your breath; keep breathing normally. 5. Keep the muscles of your stomach and buttocks relaxed. 6. Now, release the contraction for about 10 seconds. 7. Repeat the contraction‐hold‐release sequence 12–20 times. Repeat this exercise three or four times a day. www.laughingwithoutleaking.ca
