Pre & Post Natal

Women’s health physiotherapy is non-surgical treatment for a variety of women’s health problems related to obstetrics and gynaecology, particularly focusing on the pelvis and pelvic floor area . It covers a number of conditions including incontinence, prolapse and pelvic pain. Physiotherapy has been shown to alleviate and often cure these symptoms.

What is Pelvic Floor

your pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the bottom of your pelvis

Get Results

If you’re suffering from any of these conditions or symptoms, pelvic floor treatment can help you:

​

  • Urine leakage when you exercise, laugh, cough, sneeze, lift or get out of a chair or bed

  • Frequent need to go to the toilet

  • Trouble reaching the toilet in time

  • Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowel

  • Sensation of heaviness, bulging or discomfort in the pelvic area

  • Difficulty controlling wind

  • Difficulty controlling your bowel

  • Pain in the pelvic area

  • Pain during sex

Pelvic floor weakness and dysfunction is common amongst women, yet embarrassment often prevents women from seeking help. Pregnancy and childbirth are among the leading causes of pelvic floor weakness and dysfunction in women, and can lead to bladder and bowel symptoms, prolapse, decreased sensation during intercourse and pelvic pain which is why it’s so important to address this issue as soon as you notice symptoms.
