Recognise your symptoms
When might you book an appointment?
Pelvic health is not only about pregnancy. You can talk about your symptoms, even if they have been there for a long time or are hard to describe.
During pregnancy
Pelvic discomfort, questions about your pelvic floor or a wish to adapt the way you move during pregnancy.
After childbirth
An assessment of your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, scar discomfort or a gradual return to activity.
Pelvic pain
Tension, perineal discomfort or pain during sex: discussing these symptoms helps guide the assessment and any referral.
Heaviness & discomfort
A feeling of pelvic heaviness or discomfort in everyday activities, to discuss with your healthcare professional.
Returning to sport
Getting back to running, jumping or strength training after pregnancy, taking your symptoms and goals into account.
The assessment identifies where physiotherapy may help. Depending on your symptoms, additional medical advice may be needed.

Before you book
Your questions, answered
Is this only for women who have been pregnant?
No. Pelvic floor concerns can affect women at different stages of life, including those who have not had children or are going through menopause. Your symptoms and the assessment guide your care.
Do I have to have an internal examination?
No. An examination may be suggested if it would help the assessment, but it requires your consent. You can discuss it, decline or stop. The next steps in the assessment are then discussed with you.
When should I book after childbirth?
The timing depends on your recovery, symptoms and advice from your doctor or midwife. There is no single timetable that suits everyone. You can contact your physiotherapist to discuss when to book and which appointment to choose.
Do I need a prescription for reimbursement?
A medical prescription is required for physiotherapy reimbursement in Belgium. Coverage depends on the conditions that apply to your situation; your health insurance fund can explain the amounts.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your assessment, goals and progress. It is discussed with you and reviewed throughout treatment, without promising a set number of sessions or a particular result in advance.
Can I have my appointment in English?
Yes. Céline and Charlotte offer consultations in English and French. You can mention your preferred language when booking.
What if Céline's appointments do not suit me?
You can also check Charlotte's calendar on Rosa ↗. Each calendar shows the latest availability.
