Conditions we treat
Urinary Incontinence ​
Incontinence is common but not a normal part of life. It often occurs due to pelvic floor muscle weakness, pelvic organ prolapse, poor bladder habits, or insufficient pressure management during exertion. While it can occur across all life stages, incontinence can often be managed or resolved with the right strategies, such as pelvic floor exercises, improving bladder habits, and addressing any underlying health issues. It’s important to seek guidance from a healthcare provider to find the most effective treatment.
​
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a common condition where one or more pelvic organs bulge into the vagina, causing symptoms like bulging, heaviness, and incomplete bladder or bowel emptying. Thankfully, there are several ways to manage prolapse, including pelvic floor muscle strengthening, pressure management, and the use of a pessary, a medical-grade silicone device. Our experienced physiotherapists can assist with pessary fitting and provide symptomatic relief, helping you manage prolapse effectively.
​
Pelvic Pain
Persistent pelvic pain (PPP) can be debilitating and affect many women. Our physiotherapists specialize in assessing and managing a range of conditions, including dyspareunia (sexual pain), endometriosis-associated pain, vaginismus, vulvodynia, coccyx pain, deep hip/groin pain, and rectal spasm. We take a personalized, multimodal approach to treatment, tailoring plans to meet each patient's unique needs. Our goal is to provide compassionate care in a supportive environment, helping you find relief and improve quality of life.
​
Overactive Bladder:
Overactive Blader (OAB) is a condition that leads to symptoms like urinary urgency, frequent urination, incontinence, and waking up several times during the night to urinate. While it can be disruptive, there are effective ways to manage the condition. Treatment options include bladder retraining, making lifestyle adjustments, strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, and techniques like transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. By addressing these factors, individuals can reduce symptoms, find relief, and improve their overall quality of life.
​
Faecal Incontinence
Faecal incontinence refers to the leakage of stool, inability to control gas (flatus), and staining of underwear (faecal smearing). While it can be a difficult condition to manage, our physiotherapists are here to help. We specialize in identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms and developing a personalized management plan. Through targeted pelvic floor muscle strengthening and optimising bowel function, we can help you regain control, improve your symptoms, and restore your confidence.
​
Pain during Pregnancy
At our clinic, we understand that pregnancy can bring a range of discomforts, including pelvic girdle pain, lower back pain, sciatic pain, and more. Our team is dedicated to providing safe and effective treatment options to help alleviate these symptoms while supporting you in staying active throughout your pregnancy. We believe that maintaining movement is key to a more comfortable and enjoyable pregnancy experience, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
​
Labour Preparation
Labour preparation with a Women's Health Physiotherapist focuses on improving your pelvic floor strength and length, teaching effective pushing techniques, and introducing perineal massage practices. By focusing on these areas, you can better prepare your body for the demands of labour and improve your recovery postpartum.
​
Postnatal Management
No matter what type of delivery you have, it’s essential to see a Women's Health Physiotherapist in the postpartum period. Our physiotherapists are highly trained in assessing your pelvic floor health, checking for abdominal separation, providing scar tissue management advice, and guiding you on how to safely return to exercise. We recognise the importance of caring for your body during this time and are here to offer tailored guidance and support throughout the entire postnatal period.
Abdominal Separation
Whether you are in the early postnatal stage or have had children many years ago, we can help you improve your abdominal strength and control. With the use of real-time ultrasound technology, we provide visual feedback to guide your progress and develop a tailored plan focused on strength, control, and mobility. Additionally, our team has specialized clinical Pilates training to enhance your recovery, helping you build strength and improve function in a safe, effective way.
Musculoskeletal Conditions
We are experienced in treating musculoskeletal and sports injuries such as back and hip pain. Whether you are an athlete or simply someone who wants to live an active lifestyle, we create personalised plans that are tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to help you regain your strength, mobility, and overall well-being, so you can get back to doing the things you love.
