Specialist physiotherapy treatment can help address your women's health issues, covering all areas of women's health from pregnancy to menopause, to get you back to the life you love.
 

• 1 in 3 women experience urinary incontinence during their lifetime

• Pelvic organ/vaginal prolapse is experienced in up to 50% of women who have had children

• In women who have not children – up to 60% will have some significant bladder/bowel or pain symptoms

• Approximately 20% of 18-50 year old women will complain of chronic pelvic pain

• All women will at some point go through the menopause.

 

Many women tolerate these problems for years thinking they are a normal part of being a woman. Embarrassment often prevents women seeking help and many women are unaware that there are effective treatments available.

It’s worth working with a physiotherapist and persevering with your programme – pelvic floor muscle physiotherapy helps to cure or improve the symptoms of weak pelvic floor muscles for over 70% of women.

Following pregnancy, many women are concerned about aches or pains and have questions about how they can safely return to sport without any risk to their pelvic floor.
