Pelvic floor physiotherapy

When is pelvic floor physio useful?

Your pelvic floor takes a lot during pregnancy and birth. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help with:

• Lower back or pelvic pain during pregnancy
• Preventive pelvic floor training before birth
• Recovery after birth — especially after a vaginal birth, episiotomy or tear
• Loss of urine when sneezing, coughing or running
• Heavy feeling in your lower abdomen
• Painful intercourse after birth

How does the referral work?

During your check-ups, we ask how your pelvic floor is doing. If a physio could help, we give you a referral and suggest a trusted physiotherapist in Den Haag who specialises in pregnancy and recovery.

Insurance & costs

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is generally covered by your additional insurance — the basic insurance usually does not include it. Check your policy.
