Tailoring your treatment to the individual, our Pelvic health specialists can help with anyone of any age, whether you are suffering with bladder, bowel and pelvic floor dysfunction, causing incontinence, pain, pelvic organ prolapse or sexual dysfunction.
Pregnancy leads to big changes in our bodies. Our Women’s Health physiotherapy service offers a full pregnancy assessment to ensure you are fully prepared for pregnancy and labour.
Whether you are suffering from pregnancy-related musculoskeletal problems like back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome our team of Specialist Women’s Health Physios can help. Unknown to most, they are also able to treat and relieve various problems associated with breastfeeding (including blocked ducts, mastitis, engorgement).
Post pregnancy many women have questions unanswered by their GP, so we offer Postnatal body checks at all our Women’s Health clinics, to answer the unanswered. Our aim is to help women get back to full fitness so we have various Postnatal packages, available across all our clinics.

The treatment of incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic pain (vulvodynia & vaginismus) including:
Women’s Health Physiotherapy looks after women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB). A women’s health physiotherapist must have specialist training and treats problems associated with the pelvic floor. They can treat pelvic pain and problems with both the bladder and the bowel including problems associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
All of our clinics offer specialist services in treating pelvic floor dysfunctions (including bladder, bowel, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain conditions), full pregnancy assessments, postnatal body checks, breast feeding assessments, and menopause assessments.
Sexual dysfunction can be helped with women’s health physiotherapy. The physiotherapist can help with breathing, stretches and exercises which can help with the pain that may be brought on by intercourse. Advice and education can also be given on different devices or equipment to help return to intercourse as well as advice on positioning.
Your women’s health physiotherapist will always ask you about your diet and in particular your water intake. This can have a direct impact on the function of both your bladder and your bowel.
It is really important to ensure you have a well balanced diet including enough fibre and water intake.
By having enough fibre in your diet it can assist in the function of your bowels and should mean you are less likely to strain. If you strain when trying to open your bowels it can have an impact on your pelvic floor and damage/ weakness.
Common menstrual problems can include painful periods, heavy periods, irregular periods, swollen or sore breasts, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, constipation, mood swings, headaches, back pain, tiredness, difficulty concentrating/ sleeping, stomach pain.
The treatment varies from symptom to symptom. Painful periods can be treated with over the counter painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. If you are struggling to manage any of your symptoms or suffer with heavy or irregular periods it is suggested to speak to your GP for further advice on medication.
Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecologic disease. Endometrial tissue which is found on the lining of your uterus is found in other locations. This commonly affects the ovaries, ligaments supporting the uterus, bowel, bladder and vagina.
It can be treated with painkillers, hormonal medication and surgery. Women’s Health Physiotherapy can be helpful to manage symptoms including pain and to help increase the strength of the pelvis.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a condition which affects a woman’s ovaries. Harmless follicles can be found, which are underdeveloped sacs in which the egg is developed and the egg is often unable to be released. This means ovulation does not take place. SYmptoms include irregular periods or no periods, difficulty getting pregnant, excessive hair growth (normally on the chest, face, back or buttocks), weight gain, hair loss and oily skin/ acne.
There is no specific cure for polycystic ovary syndrome. Medicines are available to treat the symptoms such as excessive hair growth, irregular periods and fertility problems. If fertility medicines are not recommended then a small procedure called laparoscopic ovarian drilling may be recommended.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK and it is found within the breast tissue.
Breast cancer is usually diagnosed by your GP after finding a lump in your breast. You would then be referred to a breast cancer clinic for further tests such as a mammography and a biopsy may be taken from the breast tissue.
Depending on the type and stage of breast cancer it can be treated through surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
A Women’s Health specialist can treat physical aches and pains, including pelvic floor rehabilitation for continence issues and self-care strategies to improve health, mood, sleep and well-being.
You can self-refer to any of our clinics.
This depends on what condition is being treated. This is something that will be discussed with you and your physiotherapist at your initial consultation.
