Importance of Seeking Help: Early intervention from a qualified professional can lead to significantly better results.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome(PCS):

Condition causing chronic pain due to swollen veins in the pelvic area.

Manual lymphatic drainage(MLD) can be beneficial in the treatment of PCS. MLD is a specialized technique used to encourage lymphatic flow and reduce swelling and discomfort. MLD, by encouraging lymphatic flow, reduces swelling and inflammation which will help with the management of pain associated with PCS.
Exercises are used in conjunction with MLD in the management of PCS

Important Considerations

Early Intervention

Early involvement of pelvic health physiotherapy can delay the progress of pelvic pain and prevent it from becoming chronic.

Individualized Care
