Women's Health Physio

Many tolerate these problems, often for years, either too embarrassed to seek help or unaware that there are treatments available.

Whether you are suffering from pregnancy-related musculoskeletal problems like back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica or carpal tunnel syndrome. Or struggling with bladder, bowel and pelvic floor dysfunction, causing incontinence, pain, pelvic organ prolapse or sexual dysfunction, our niche group of physios can help you.

As Pelvic health specialists they are able to treat the many side effects of menopause, incl treatment for physical aches and pains, pelvic floor rehabilitation and self-care strategies to improve mood, sleep and well being.

With the growing awareness of Women’s Health physiotherapy across the UK, we now have 8 super-experienced physios treating out of 5 London clinics, plus we offer it this service at Lindfield, Haywards Heath. They are absolutely passionate about helping women resolve these problems and significantly improve their quality of life.

Camilla Lawrence, Clare Bourne, Aty Robert, Georgie Adams & Anat Meier are all based in West London.
Jenny Constable treats from our Fitzrovia Clinic and Caoimhe McNamara is based in the City.
At our Lindfield Clinic we have Abbie Parry looking after the Women’s Health service.

Our service is highly confidential and respects the sensitive nature of these problems.

Post pregnancy many women have questions unanswered by their GP, so at Six Physio we offer Postnatal body checks, to answer the unanswered.

If you would like to speak to any of our physios in confidence regarding a problem you have, or for general advice please call us on 020 7036 0280 or e-mail.
