Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is all about understanding and caring for the pelvic floor—the group of muscles and tissues at the base of your pelvis.
Think of it as the foundation that supports your pelvic organs, helps with bladder and bowel control, and plays an important role in sexual wellbeing. It keeps everything in place and working smoothly while contributing to your overall comfort and confidence.
During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes, which can lead to aches, pains, and changes in movement patterns. We provide support for common pregnancy-related discomforts, including:
• Pelvic Girdle Pain
• Round Ligament Pain
• Back & Hip Pain, Sciatic Pain
• Rib Pain
• Neck & Shoulder Pain
• Vulval & Lower Limb Varicosities
Each of these conditions can affect your comfort and mobility during pregnancy, and we’re here to provide relief, guidance, and practical solutions to help you feel your best.
Pregnancy increases the load on your pelvic floor, which can raise the risk of urinary leakage. Several factors, like weight gain and hormonal changes, contribute to this. While it’s common, pelvic floor physiotherapy can help strengthen these muscles and manage leaks.
As part of your comprehensive pregnancy care, we offer Birth Preparation consultations around 34-35 weeks of pregnancy, building on your initial assessment. These sessions provide you with the knowledge and tools to prepare for childbirth and support your postpartum recovery.
Here's what’s covered:• Perineal Tears & How to Reduce Them
• Pelvic Floor down training & Relaxation: Learn techniques to help relax the pelvic floor for a smoother delivery.
• Pain Relief Options: Explore Obstetric TENS machines as a pain relief option
• Caesarean Section Preparation: Guidance on what to do before and after a caesarean to support a smooth recovery.
• Postnatal Poos & Wees: Guidance on managing bowel and urinary changes to ease anxieties and support recovery.
• Abdominal Compression Garments: We’ll measure you for SRC Recovery Shorts to aid in your recovery.
• Postpartum Abdominal Exercises: Latest research on healing abdominal separation and strengthening your core after birth.
We’ll equip you with the tools and information you need to feel confident, supported, and ready for the big day, while also guiding you through a smooth postpartum recovery.
