Real-Time Ultrasound [top]
Hahndorf & Distric Physiotherapy Service have vast experience with Real-Time (diagnostic) Ultrasound.
Diagnostic Ultrasound has been used by the medical profession since the 1970's, and by Physiotherapists in the last 15 years. The frequencies for diagnostic, or Real-Time Ultrasound are much lower than for therapeutic ultrasound, and there is no heating effect or radiation, and it is safe, being used by doctors in obstetrics.
At Hahndorf Physio, the Real-Time Ultrasound is used mainly as a biofeedback tool. In real time (that is, while the movement is being performed) muscle action can be seen on the screen by the client, enhancing their awareness and ability to learn to use speciifc muscles. We use Real -Time Ultrasound in core stability training for the back and hips, and for pelvic floor muscle awareness and rehabilitation.
EMG (Electro-myography) Biofeedback is also used at Hahndorf physio to train and "down-train" muscle which are under or overactive. Our Musculo-skeletal, Sports and Continence and Women's Health Phyiotherapists have access to this innovative ground-breaking technology.
Continence & Womens / Mens Health [top]
Continence and Women's Health Physiotherapist Annette Innes has more than
30 years experience in the management of bladder and bowel problems,
prolapse and pelvic pain, in children, men and women. Trish Crouch and
Michelle Bessen have joined the Continence team with ongoing professional
development in this area.
MALE PROBLEMS with incontinence, pelvic pain and erectile function are
treated by Annette. She recommends a consult BEFORE Prostatectomy (Radical
or TURP). Annette takes the time to discuss WHAT to expect and HOW to
MINIMISE INCONTINENCE through CORRECT pelvic floor muscle action.
Follow up AFTER the surgery is useful also. CORRECT TECHNIQUE and TIMING of
Pelvic Floor Muscle action has been shown to reduce the post operative
incontinence and erectile dysfunction which has in the past been associated
with Prostatectomy.
We utilise Real Time Diagnostic Ultrasound and Biofeedback for assessment
and treatment of male and female pelvic floor issues.
Please contact Annette so that she can send you an information pack before your first consult.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
We offer a comprehensive Pelvic floor Assessment for the prevention &
treatment of prolapse and incontinence. Pelvic pain, Vulvodynia and painful
intercourse are also treated. Annette, with more than 30 years experience in
this area has been awarded the title of "APA Continence and Women's Health
Physiotherapist " by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) through
a rigorous examination process.
