Specialist physiotherapy

How I can help

Treatment and rehabilitation shaped around your symptoms, your goals and everyday life.

These are areas I can help with, rather than separate appointment types. Open a section to find out more.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy

Pelvic floor symptoms can affect comfort, confidence and everyday life. A specialist assessment can help identify what is contributing and shape a clear, individual treatment plan.

When physiotherapy may help

Bladder leakage, urgency or frequency
Vaginal heaviness, pressure or prolapse symptoms
Bowel leakage or difficulty emptying
Pelvic pain or pain during sex
Difficulty with tampons or cervical screening

What to expect

Your appointment begins with time to talk through your symptoms and goals. With your consent, assessment may include movement, abdominal and pelvic floor examination. Treatment may involve education, pelvic floor rehabilitation, relaxation, hands on therapy and practical changes for daily life.

Mummy MOT and postnatal assessment

A Mummy MOT is a dedicated postnatal physiotherapy assessment, giving you space to understand your recovery and receive advice that is specific to your body, birth experience and goals.

When physiotherapy may help

Pelvic floor or bladder symptoms after birth
Abdominal separation or weakness
Pelvic, back or hip pain
Caesarean or perineal scar concerns
Returning to running, exercise or strength training

What to expect

We review your pregnancy, birth, symptoms and priorities before assessing areas such as breathing, movement, abdominal wall and pelvic floor function where appropriate. You leave with a realistic recovery and exercise plan.

Pregnancy physiotherapy

Pain and pelvic floor symptoms during pregnancy are common, but that does not mean you simply have to put up with them. Physiotherapy can help you move more comfortably and feel better prepared for birth and recovery.

When physiotherapy may help

Pelvic girdle, back, groin or hip pain
Bladder leakage or pelvic heaviness
Difficulty staying active comfortably
Preparation for labour and birth
Planning recovery after birth

What to expect

Treatment is adapted to your stage of pregnancy and may include movement advice, hands on treatment, support for the pelvic floor and core, pacing strategies and an individual home programme.

Diastasis and abdominal rehabilitation

Abdominal rehabilitation is about more than closing a gap. It can improve how your abdominal wall manages pressure, supports movement and feels during exercise and daily life.

When physiotherapy may help

Abdominal separation or doming
Difficulty connecting with your core
An abdomen that still appears pregnant
Weakness after pregnancy or surgery
Returning to lifting, running or strength training

What to expect

Assessment looks at breathing, pressure management, abdominal wall function, strength and the movements that matter to you. Your goals may be practical, aesthetic or both, and your rehabilitation plan will reflect that.

Caesarean and scar rehabilitation

A scar can feel tight, sensitive, numb, uncomfortable or simply unfamiliar. Specialist assessment can help you understand healing and choose the right approach for how your scar looks, feels and moves.

When physiotherapy may help

Caesarean scar tightness or sensitivity
Perineal scar pain
Restriction around an abdominal or pelvic scar
Discomfort with movement or intimacy
Concerns about the appearance or feel of a scar

What to expect

Depending on healing and assessment, treatment may include education, desensitisation, massage, scar mobilisation, movement and progressive rehabilitation. I will also advise when medical review is more appropriate.

Menopause pelvic health

Perimenopause and menopause can bring changes to bladder, bowel, pelvic floor and sexual comfort. Physiotherapy offers practical, evidence informed support rather than asking you to accept symptoms as inevitable.

When physiotherapy may help

New or worsening bladder leakage
Urgency or increased frequency
Pelvic heaviness or prolapse symptoms
Bowel changes
Pain or reduced confidence with intimacy and exercise

What to expect

We explore the factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a plan that may include pelvic floor rehabilitation, bladder or bowel strategies, strength and movement work, lifestyle advice and signposting for medical support where helpful.

Booking an appointment

You do not need to choose a separate appointment for each symptom. Your assessment can cover the concerns you would like help with.
