Our Women’s Health Physiotherapists offer a wide range of services, specifically aimed at addressing conditions and challenges that are unique to women, including:

1. Pelvic Floor Health

  • Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Weak or dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles can lead to issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and painful intercourse. Our physiotherapists provide targeted exercises and retraining programs to strengthen these muscles, helping restore function and control.

  • Bladder and Bowel Control: Physiotherapy offers effective treatment options to manage incontinence and improve bladder and bowel control, often through pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle recommendations.

2. Pregnancy and Postpartum Care

  • Prenatal Support: During pregnancy, women experience changes in their posture, muscle tone, and ligaments. Our physiotherapists help expectant mothers manage back pain, pelvic pain, and joint discomfort through safe exercises and techniques, supporting a healthier pregnancy journey.

  • Postpartum Recovery: After childbirth, many women experience challenges like abdominal separation (diastasis recti) and weakened pelvic floor muscles. We provide individualised programs to help new mothers safely regain strength, stability, and core function, aiding in a smooth recovery.
3. Menopause Support

  • The transition through menopause brings about changes in muscle strength, joint mobility, and bone density. Our Women’s Health Physiotherapists create personalised programs to address these changes, focusing on strength, flexibility, and balance to support bone health and minimise pain and weakness.

4. Pain Management

  • Back, Pelvis and Hip Pain: Many women experience back, pelvis and hip pain related to pregnancy, postpartum changes, or hormonal shifts. We provide targeted exercises and pain relief techniques to improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and enhance quality of life.

5. Regain Abdominal Strength

  • Abdominal Strength and Diastasis Recti: Physiotherapy helps address abdominal separation after childbirth through core strengthening exercises that safely rebuild muscle control and stability.

  • Improved Strength and Control: Targeted exercises enhance pelvic floor, core, and overall muscle strength.

  • Pain Relief: Hands-on techniques and tailored exercises reduce discomfort associated with pregnancy, menopause, or pelvic floor dysfunction.

  • Preventative Care: Physiotherapy helps prevent conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and musculoskeletal pain.

  • Better Quality of Life: Our holistic approach supports long-term health, confidence, and independence.
