What Is It?
Specialised Physiotherapy for Women’s Health: Women’s Health Physiotherapy focuses on physical conditions that may affect women at different stages of life. It can address concerns involving the pelvic floor, pregnancy-related changes, postnatal recovery, abdominal and core function, bladder or bowel control, and musculoskeletal pain.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that supports the bladder, bowel, and other pelvic organs. Specialised physiotherapy may help assess pelvic floor function and provide appropriate exercises and rehabilitation.
Pregnancy and Postnatal Support: Pregnancy and childbirth can place physical demands on the body and may contribute to back pain, pelvic discomfort, changes in posture, abdominal muscle changes, and reduced pelvic floor function. Physiotherapy can provide appropriate movement, exercise, and recovery guidance.
Individualised and Confidential Care: Every woman’s experience is different. Assessment and treatment are planned according to your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, physical condition, and recovery goals, with appropriate professional sensitivity and privacy.
Focus on Strength, Function and Confidence: The aim is to help suitable patients improve physical comfort, mobility, strength, pelvic floor function, and confidence in everyday activities.
How Does It Work?
Detailed Initial Assessment: The physiotherapist begins by discussing your symptoms, medical history, pregnancy or childbirth history where relevant, physical activity, daily challenges, and treatment goals.
Physical and Movement Assessment: Depending on your symptoms and with your informed consent, assessment may include posture, breathing patterns, abdominal and core function, movement, muscle strength, and pelvic floor function where clinically appropriate.
Identifying Contributing Factors: Symptoms may be influenced by factors such as muscle weakness, changes during pregnancy, childbirth, posture, breathing patterns, activity levels, or other physical conditions. The assessment helps guide an individualised treatment approach.
Personalised Treatment Plan: A programme is developed based on your condition and goals. Treatment may include pelvic floor exercises, core rehabilitation, mobility work, strengthening, breathing techniques, posture guidance, and appropriate manual therapy.
Education and Self-Management: You may receive guidance on movement, exercise, bladder and bowel habits, posture, lifting, activity modification, and other self-management strategies relevant to your condition.
Progressive Rehabilitation: Your treatment plan can be progressed gradually according to your symptoms, comfort, recovery, and physical capacity.
Ongoing Support: Your progress is monitored, and the rehabilitation programme is adjusted according to your changing needs and goals.
