Men and all genders
Pelvic floor care that is not only for women
Care for men, trans and nonbinary people, and anyone whose care has been planned around someone else.
Everyone has a pelvic floor. Men can have pain at the tailbone or in the pelvis, leaks after surgery, or trouble emptying the bladder or bowels. Trans and nonbinary people may want care around gender-affirming surgery. Wilhelmina uses the name and pronouns you give her.
This care is for you if
You have pelvic, tailbone or groin pain that comes with sitting or exercise
You leak after prostate or bowel surgery
You are planning or recovering from gender-affirming surgery
Your name, pronouns or body have been a problem in other clinics
