Pelvic Floor and Pelvic Venous Disorder (PeVD)

The goal of pelvic floor physiotherapy is to improve pelvic floor function through targeted exercises, lifestyle modifications, education, and hands on treatment to decrease and eliminate Pelvic Venous Disorder (PeVD) or previously known as Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) symptoms. It is a key part of the treatment especially in women who experience pain in the lower back or under carriage after sitting or standing for long periods, pain after sex (post coital pain) and those who experience symptoms of POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). In many women, pelvic floor physiotherapy done well can provide excellent symptom control and eliminate the need for surgical procedures and operations.

At The Venus Clinic, we work closely with clinical pelvic floor physiotherapy specialists at Physio Down Under. Founded by Monica Donaldson and Tamara Gerdis, Physio Down Under opened in August 2018 and was the first of its kind physiotherapy centre in Singapore. Between them, Monica and Tamara have over 40 years of combined women’s health physiotherapy experience and bring unrivalled passion and knowledge to this field. Their contribution to developing diagnostic protocols for pelvic floor dysfunction in our patients as well their advice and expertise as part of the Venus Clinic multi-disciplinary team helps us provide our patients the highest level of holistic care they need.
