Women's Health Physiotherapy
Specialist care for pregnancy, pelvic health, and every stage of a woman's life.
This page is for general information only, not medical advice. Always consult a qualified physiotherapist.
What this care covers
Women's health physiotherapy covers the physical changes women experience through pregnancy, childbirth, pelvic floor dysfunction, incontinence, and chronic pelvic pain. Your physiotherapist will assess your pelvic floor, core, and musculoskeletal system, then build a tailored programme that is safe at every stage. Sessions are completely private. Pelvic health physiotherapy supports symptoms and function. New bleeding, signs of infection, severe pelvic pain, sudden neurological symptoms, or pregnancy warning signs need medical review.
