Your therapeutic journey, Step by Step
The first session :
During your initial consultation, we place the utmost importance on discussion. We want to know about your background, understand the issues you're facing and grasp your specific needs. We also take the time to introduce you to our working approach, explaining in detail how we work.
This is essential if you are to feel comfortable and confident with our approach. Your comfort and consent are essential.
If you agree with our approach, at the end of the session we'll carry out an examination. This will enable us to better understand your physical situation and establish a personalized structure for future sessions.
The following sessions :
Each patient benefits from a personalized approach, tailored to her specific urogynecological needs. At each consultation, we prioritize the most appropriate therapeutic approaches, based on the assessment made at the first appointment.
Therapeutic areas we can address together include :
- Adapted perineal reinforcement: specific work to tone the perineum, taking into account the particular needs of each patient, whether for prevention or rehabilitation.
- Pessary insertion: to support the treatment of prolapse or other perineal disorders, with personalized follow-up for adaptation and comfort.
- Specific work for prolapse: management and care strategies to support and strengthen the pelvic region, in order to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Post-operative scar work: management of scars after urogynecological surgery, to improve mobility and reduce pain.
- Treatment of urogynecological pain: reduction of pelvic, urinary and sexual pain, using manual techniques, targeted exercises and tailored advice.

Advances in Uro-Gynecology
Innovation in rehabilitation: wireless biofeedback
We're proud of our state-of-the-art wireless biofeedback rehabilitation equipment. This advanced technology measures live pelvic floor muscle activity and displays it visually on a screen. Each person can see, in real time, the strength and duration of their muscle contractions.
Wireless vaginal probe: A revolution in mobility
Our system uses a vaginal probe with specific sensors and, crucially, it's wireless. This design offers unrivalled freedom of movement. This means you can perform natural movements - such as walking or jumping - while simultaneously observing pelvic floor activity.
Rehabilitation in a realistic context
The major advantage? This approach places rehabilitation in a realistic, everyday context. Beyond instant awareness of contractions, each person can adapt and improve their movements in real-life situations. It's this realistic experience that brings added value, optimizing the results of rehabilitation.
Técarthérapie: A major asset in the management of pain and scars
In 2025, we integrated Tecarthérapie, an innovative technology that enables targeted and specific work for the well-being of our patients. It helps reduce pain and promotes healing, offering optimal results for pelvi-perineal disorders.
