It is estimated that 1 in 3 Women suffer with bladder issues at any one time. Although it is very common, this does not mean it is normal. Physiotherapy has been proven to be a vital component and recommended option for conservative management.  Often these conditions are due to a problem with the pelvic floor muscles, sometimes they are weak, other times they are tight and have difficulty relaxing. A detailed physiotherapy assessment will help to highlight the root problem and then provide a bespoke rehabilitation program to reduce your symptoms and get you back to doing what you love. 

 

Going through pregnancy and childbirth (both vaginal and c-section) is a significant period of a woman’s life. It is not uncommon to experience aches and pains during pregnancy and afterwards that can be managed with physiotherapy.

• Prolapse

• Separation of the abdominal muscles (Rectus Diastasis)

• Pain from c-section scar or vaginal tear/ episiotomy

A Mummy MOT assessment and Pelvic Health assessment are very similar so it doesn't really matter which one you book.  I work with clients on a journey and who are invested in their recovery, which can take time and effort. To make it as straightforward as possible, I see all new clients a minimum of 3 times in order to appropriately assess, progress, re-evaluate and maximise your recovery and rehabilitation. If more sessions are required, I have follow on packages
