What to wear

It is generally helpful or necessary for your physiotherapist to be able to observe the affected parts of your body and their movement, and sometimes also of other body areas that may have an impact on your presenting problem. Comfortable clothing that allows unrestricted movement and as much visibility as possible is therefore advised. Shorts and a singlet or crop top are often ideal. Gowns and shorts are available in the clinics if needed.

 

Access

Nicole usually works from an upstairs consultation space at The Bulli Medical Practice. If access via the stairs will not be possible for you, please contact us so that alternative arrangements can be made.

Preparation for an ultrasound session

If you are coming to Flex-Ability Physio for Real Time Ultrasound Biofeedback training of your pelvic floor, please empty your bladder around 2hrs before your consultation then drink 500 -1000ml of water or other fluid and try to hold this until after your ultrasound. This allows us to image your pelvic floor by placing the scanner on your lower abdominal wall and scanning through the fluid filled bladder.

RTUB for other body areas requires no special preparation.
