Credence Therapy Notebook
 Not a clinic and not a waiting room: one woman's record of pelvic health physiotherapy, the exercises that actually work, and how long they take.
Pelvic health physiotherapy, what it involves and how long it takes.

Between appointments

A pelvic floor programme is supervised for perhaps an hour a month and done alone for the rest of it. This board is that rest of it: the eleven weeks between an assessment and a review, a printed sheet of exercises, and nobody to ask whether you are doing them right. Esther and Bethan moderate. Threads close after sixty days without a reply and stay up afterwards as a record.

Getting seen

Referrals, waiting lists, and the appointments where nothing happened.

Doing the programme

Weeks four to sixteen, a sheet of exercises, and nobody watching.

After the course

Discharge, keeping it up, and what happens when it has not worked.
