The difference an Osteopath makes to your pelvic floor treatment
Are you looking for reassurance?
When you’re considering pelvic floor treatment, it’s easy to focus on the technology. Is it evidence-based? Is it safe?
Another question that brings patients to our clinic time and time again: who is overseeing my treatment, and what expertise are they bringing to it?
At Signature Health, BetterPelvi is offered within a specialist pelvic floor and pain clinic founded by Ariana Torti (M.Ost, D.O, N.D), a Naturopathic Osteopath with years of clinical experience in musculoskeletal and pelvic health. This underpins everything about how we approach patient care – and our patients value the confidence to be in the hands of a private healthcare professional, who, together with her team, are dedicated to make you feel at ease.
The pelvic floor doesn’t exist in isolation
One of the things that distinguishes an osteopathic approach to pelvic floor health is the understanding that the pelvic floor works in coordination with other functions in the body, including digestive and reproductive organs, hormones, and the musculoskeletal system. Treating the pelvic floor in isolation without looking at the bigger picture may only produce partial or temporary results for some patients.
Ariana’s background means that when she reviews your case, she’s thinking about the whole picture. If your pelvic floor dysfunction is connected to posture, a breathing habit, a structural issue in the pelvis or lower back, or a hormonal factor, that context informs how your programme is approached. Not just the number of sessions recommended, but what else might need attention alongside the chair.
This clinical reasoning isn’t available when BetterPelvi is offered in non-healthcare settings.
A consultation with personalised treatment options
Your initial consultation at Signature Health includes full symptom history taking, a non-invasive pelvic floor strength test and a taster session on the BetterPelvi chair, as well as an honest conversation about what treatment is likely to achieve for your specific presentation. The consultation is designed to enable you and make an informed decision on whether you are ready to commit to pelvic floor rehab.
An integrative approach to pelvic floor health
Because Signature Health offers a range of treatments alongside BetterPelvi, you can take the opportunity to address the root causes of your pelvic floor issues, as well as address other aches and dysfunctions under one roof.
For some patients, BetterPelvi alone produces everything they need. For others, adding osteopathic treatment and K-Laser therapy for pain and dysfunction, or nutrient therapy (such as vitamin injections) to address gut or hormonal issues, can be the holistic approach that connects the dots and optimises progress.
Having all of this available under one roof, with an experienced practitioner who understands how the treatments interact, means your care can be properly joined up. That kind of integrated approach isn’t possible when treatments are delivered in separate settings.
A commitment to the right treatment, in the right hands
Your sessions at Signature Health are supervised by a lovely team of ladies who have in-depth working knowledge of BetterPelvi, including through personal experience of the treatment. They know what the chair feels like, what progression looks like, and how to support you through a process that can feel unfamiliar at first.
We are here to make you feel comfortable. Listening to the issues that you have encountered helps us tweak your treatment as need be. You have made an investment into your pelvic floor health, and we do our utmost to help you stick to your commitment.
Ariana maintains clinical oversight of all patient treatments and is available for queries or reassessment. She personally oversees as many sessions as her schedule allows, and is briefed on any concerns that may arise. Patients tell us that they feel more confident thanks to our in-house expertise.
