Muriel Gilles, a physiotherapist specializing in uro-gynecology, practices at the On Therapy clinic, Chemin Taverney 13, in Grand-Saconnex. She offers a functional approach that integrates pelvic health with women's overall health, taking into account life history and hormonal variations at every stage (pregnancy, postpartum, menopause).
A female-specific approach
Uro-gynecological rehabilitation is not limited to the perineum: it encompasses the abdominopelvic sling, posture, breathing, and the gradual resumption of sports and professional activities. The initial assessment (detailed anamnesis) determines whether the examination and exercises will be internal, external, or both—this depends entirely on each patient's situation.
