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 13 super-experienced physios treating out of all our clinics: 8 across London and Lindfield, Haywards Heath, plus we offer Virtual appointments for those who would rather not come into clinic. Our Physios are absolutely passionate about helping women resolve these problems and significantly improve their quality of life.
