What do physiotherapists based in the Gynaecology Department do?
The physiotherapists based in the Gynaecology Department assess and treat patients undergoing major gynaecological surgery and breast surgery. Treatment can include advice on exercising the pelvic floor muscles and the abdominal muscles.
