MSc Katarzyna Bartnik – urogynecological physiotherapist (PWZFz 20724). Works with people who struggle with urinary incontinence, pelvic and spine pain, pelvic organ prolapse symptoms, C-section scars, and other pelvic floor-related issues.
A physiotherapist who combines medical knowledge with a practical, calm approach – without rush and without taboo topics.
I have always been interested in how the body responds to pain, overload, and life changes such as pregnancy, childbirth, or surgery. That is why I studied physiotherapy and then consistently developed my work in pelvic floor care and urogynecology.
I gained experience in both public and private clinics. Working with different patients showed me how many symptoms can be reduced or calmed with well-chosen therapy, clear explanations, and step-by-step work together.
I am especially close to fascial techniques and an osteopathic approach. In daily practice I use, among others, myofascial release, fascial work models (FDM, FM), pinotherapy (pinopressure), kinesiotaping, and methods focused on urogynecological care during pregnancy and after childbirth.

Selected postgraduate courses and trainings:
I regularly attend courses and seminars to combine up-to-date scientific knowledge with practical therapy tailored to my patients’ everyday life.
I focus on pelvic floor-related disorders, pregnancy and postpartum care, as well as pelvic and spine pain. I work with both women and men.
Therapy for pelvic floor disorders, pelvic pain, a “pulling down” sensation, heaviness, or the feeling of a “foreign body” in the vagina. Work includes both muscles and the fascial system, as well as how the body handles everyday loads.
I support people with stress and urge incontinence, frequent urgency, “just-in-case” toilet visits, and the feeling of “I won’t make it”. Therapy combines pelvic floor exercises, habit work, and education about bladder function.
Safe activity during pregnancy, spine support, breathing training, pelvic floor work and preparing tissues for childbirth. The goal is greater comfort in pregnancy and an easier return to fitness after birth.
Assessment of a C-section scar, episiotomy or tear, diagnosis of diastasis recti, support with urinary incontinence, back pain and weakness. Everything at a pace adapted to how you feel after birth.
Conservative work for prolapse: education, habit changes, improving breathing and posture mechanics, learning strategies that unload the pelvic floor in daily life, and cooperation with your doctor if a procedure is planned.
Pain in the lower back, groin, pubic symphysis or lumbar spine is often linked to pelvic floor and fascial tension. I work with the entire musculoskeletal system and post-surgical scars (e.g., C-section, gynecological and urological procedures) to improve comfort and tissue function.
The choice of techniques always depends on your symptoms, health status, and life stage (pregnancy, postpartum, post-surgery). Below are some of the methods I use most often.
A bodywork concept that looks at the organism more broadly – considering organs, the myofascial system, circulation, and breathing. Used, among others, for fertility-related issues, urinary incontinence, prolapse, or very painful periods.
Gentle but deep soft-tissue work aimed at reducing excessive tension, improving mobility and comfort. Helpful for chronic pain, movement restrictions, and after injuries or surgeries.
Special tapes applied to the skin to support manual therapy effects: they can reduce pain, decrease swelling, support muscle work, or remind you of good posture during the day.
An original method by Dr. Radek Składowski using special tools (“pins” and “katy”) to work on the surface of the body. It draws on folk and traditional medicine experience, translated into the language of modern physiotherapy and neurophysiology.
Methods focused on fascia – the tissue that permeates the whole body. The goal is to restore proper tissue glide, reduce pain, and improve function in joints and muscles, often with a clear effect already after the first sessions.
A method using precise stimulation of tissues to redistribute tension throughout the body. It helps influence the global balance of the myofascial system, not only the place where you feel pain.
A system of work with the head, neck and temporomandibular joints. Used, among others, for headaches, tension in the face area, jaw joint issues, and problems that affect posture and the function of the whole body.
An essential part of therapy is understanding where symptoms come from and learning simple exercises to do at home. Small, regular steps often produce a bigger effect than one-time “strong” treatments.
Our shared goal is simple: fewer symptoms and more freedom in everyday life. We start with a thorough conversation, then tailor therapy to your situation and capabilities.

Seeing a urogynecological physiotherapist is not a “last resort”. It is a way to take care of your body earlier – both when symptoms are already present and when you want to prevent them.
If you feel you need to go “just in case”, notice a few drops of urine with coughing, laughter, running or lifting – it is a sign that your pelvic floor and bladder habits need support. It is a good time to book a consultation.
Physiotherapy in pregnancy helps you care for your spine, use breathing effectively, work consciously with the pelvic floor and prepare for birth. We can also address constipation, back pain, perineal pain or breathing difficulties.
A visit in the postpartum period or a few weeks later allows us to assess a C-section scar, check diastasis recti, address urinary leakage or prolapse sensations. It is the first step to calmly return to movement and loads.
Heaviness in the perineum, tissue “bulging”, discomfort with prolonged standing – these are symptoms worth consulting. Physiotherapy will not replace every surgery, but in many cases it can meaningfully reduce symptoms and improve function.
Pain in the lumbar or sacral area, groin, or pubic symphysis often results from combined tension in muscles, fascia, and the pelvic floor. In therapy we look for causes in the whole body, not only where the pain is felt.
After procedures in the pelvic area or abdomen, the body needs time but also appropriately selected movement. We work with the scar, breathing, posture and tissue tension to restore comfort and function as gently and safely as possible.
Take care of your pelvic floor muscles and how your body handles load now – to avoid problems in the future or slow their progression.
The words below won’t replace your own experience, but they reflect the atmosphere in the clinic – calm, attentive, focused on real change rather than a “quick fix”.
