If you recognise any of these, Physiotherapy in Dubai with Marissa may be a key step towards feeling more in control, strong and confident again.

Frequently asked questions

Is pelvic floor physiotherapy painful?

Most women find sessions very manageable and often relieving. Some techniques may feel unusual at first, but nothing should feel unbearable. Marissa always works within your comfort level and explains every step. You can stop or pause at any time.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your condition, how long you’ve had symptoms and your goals. Some women notice clear changes within a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer rehabilitation process over several months. You will receive an honest recommendation after your assessment.

Do I need a referral from a doctor?

In many cases, you can book directly. However, if you have complex medical conditions, recent surgery or are unsure whether pelvic floor physiotherapy is right for you, Marissa may recommend speaking with your doctor or gynaecologist as well.

Can pelvic floor physiotherapy help after C-section?

Yes. Even after a caesarean section, your pelvic floor and core can be affected by pregnancy, posture changes and reduced activity. Targeted rehab can support scar healing, abdominal recovery and safe return to movement, sport and intimacy.
