Choosing the right physiotherapist for treating diastasis recti (DR) is important for effective recovery. Here are some key factors to consider when making your choice:
Choose your physiotherapist based on their skill set, experience and qualifications:
Look for a women’s health physiotherapist who specialises in pelvic health and recovery from diastasis recti. Ensuring they have years of specific training and Internationally recognised Certifications in this area. At PhysioMatters we have over 35 years combined experience and have provided education sessions at an international level in this area!
Approach and Philosophy:
Different physiotherapists may have different approaches to treatment. Some might focus on manual therapy and exercises, while others might incorporate education on body mechanics and posture. Choose someone whose approach aligns with your preferences and needs. And preferentially who has knowledge in all the above – we do!
Patient Reviews and Referrals: Look for our Google reviews from other patients who have undergone treatment for diastasis recti. Personal referrals from friends, family, or your primary care doctor can also be valuable.
Initial Consultation: We offer a thorough initial consultation outlining your diagnosis via real time ultrasound imagery and then a fully comprehensive treatment plan for the next few visits will be outlined for you.
Treatment Plan: During your initial consultation, discuss the proposed treatment plan. At PhysioMatters we will provide a clear plan tailored to your specific condition and goals.
Communication and Comfort: You should feel comfortable with your physiotherapist. Open communication is crucial for effective treatment, ensuring you feel heard and understood.
Continuity of Care: Your physiotherapist should provide ongoing support and follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. Modifications to your treatment are always needed, and support of a strong allied health team is crucial for your progress.
Accessibility and Location: Consider the physiotherapist’s location and availability. PhysioMatters is in the heart of Orchard Road, we are a baby friendly, child friendly clinic. Our clinic is easily accessible via MRT, under cover drop off, car parking and by foot.
