The gait training we can strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles. Before starting therapy, it is very important to have a specialist gynaecological urological examination, as we need to know exactly what the underlying lesion is, without knowing this, treatment cannot be started!

What problems can we help with?

• Primarily for stress incontinence, but may also be beneficial for emergency and mixed incontinence
• In the early stages of uterine prolapse, bladder prolapse, rectal prolapse
• In case of stool retention problems

To whom do we recommend the Gait Gymnastics?

• For people with the problems listed above
• Before/after gynaecological/urological surgery
• For men after prostate surgery!!!

Please bring all relevant findings, test results and final reports with you to the first appointment. We start with a detailed anamnesis, listening to the patient's complaints and medical history.
This is followed by a detailed postural analysis, as pelvic floor problems may be caused by, for example, increased lumbar lordosis (homorulation).
Following the musculoskeletal examination, the lesions observed and the therapeutic options available are discussed.

Ideally, the patient will be given homework for the first session, which they will practise until the next session.

What does gas gymnastics look like in practice?

The first session is to learn the correct stretching of the gait muscle, which is very important as a significant number of patients do pressing instead of stretching the gait muscle, and this can take several sessions to learn correctly. Once we are confident that the correct stretching is being done, patients can slowly learn progressively more difficult stretching exercises in different positions. After 3 months of professional physiotherapy, significant improvement can be seen.

What treatments can be added to gait training?

• Lifestyle advice
• Electrotherapy
• Biofeedback treatment
• Use of weights and measures
• CORE training / functional training
