Women’s & Men’s Health Physiotherapy

What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is a division of physiotherapy aimed at treating the broad spectrum of physical changes and issues that occur throughout a woman’s life, with a particular focus on the pelvis and pelvic floor.

This includes:

• postnatal rehabilitation
• peri and post-menopausal care
• pre and post-surgical rehabilitation
• the management of hormonal changes

While the incidence of injury, pain and dysfunction in these areas is all too common, there is a growing base of evidence to indicate that physiotherapeutic intervention can be beneficial in the management of these symptoms, improving an individual’s quality of life.

Conditions we treat: 

• Bladder dysfunction: (stress, urgency, and mixed incontinence), bladder pain syndrome, urinary frequency
• Bowel dysfunction( faecal/ flatus incontinence, urgency, constipation, incomplete evacuation, rectal pain)
• Conservative management of pelvic organ prolapse
• Perineal trauma following childbirth (Perineal/episiotomy scarring)
• Pelvic pain
• Sexual dysfunction (dyspareunia /vsginismis)
• Pre and rehab following gynae and breast surgery ( inc cancer surgery & adjunct therapy)
• Menopausal issues (GSM/joint pains, bladder or bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction)
• Scar therapy (scar treatment for caesarean scarring, breast or gynae surgery. Abdominal massage for internal adhesions following surgery/ endometriosis management).
