How can I be referred into the service?
Your urology, gynaecology and urogynaecology consultant can to refer you to the pelvic health physiotherapy service.
However, GPs can refer patients with pelvic health problems to a consultant who will determine if physiotherapy is the best treatment option.
Please note, if you are experiencing incontinence or prolapse during pregnancy or in the first six weeks after giving birth, you can refer yourself to pelvic health physiotherapy at the Royal Victoria Infirmary.
