Women’s health physiotherapy

Women’s Health physiotherapy is a specialist area helping women manage bladder and bowel weakness, overactivity, and pelvic pain.

Our women’s health service is provided by our specialist women’s health physiotherapists. The team have extensive experience in providing quality and compassionate care in a safe, supportive environment. The latest research and guidelines ensure you will be given some of the most up-to-date advice and the latest techniques.

Our women’s health team work very closely with our Consultant Gynaecologists and Consultant Urologists here at Sulis Hospital. Our experts take a holistic multi-disciplinary team approach to treatment for incontinence. Treatment is effective and provides measurable improvements for our patients.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you ever leak when you laugh, cough, sneeze, jump or run?
  
  
• Do you have to wear pads to avoid embarrassing situations when you are out and about?

If the above questions sound familiar then we can help.

1 in 3 women will experience urinary incontinence during their lifetime.

Approximately 20% of 18 - 50 year old women will complain of chronic pelvic pain.

All women will at some point in their lives go through menopause.

Time with a physiotherapist and persevering with your treatment will help. Too many women tolerate these problems for years thinking their problem is normal and often embarrassment prevents women from seeking help. We provide a variety of treatments from specific pelvic floor exercises to manual therapy for overactive or painful pelvic floor muscles.

Our physiotherapists can address many of the issues and are passionate about helping women resolve their problems and improve their quality of life. Take back control and book an appointment with our specialist women’s health physiotherapist.
