What we offer
Pelvic health physiotherapy
Assessment-led support for bladder and pelvic concerns
Pelvic health physiotherapy supports adults with bladder leakage, urgency, pelvic pain, postnatal concerns and post-surgical recovery.
What is pelvic health physiotherapy?
Pelvic health physiotherapy is physiotherapy for symptoms involving the bladder, bowel, pelvic floor, pelvis and related areas. It may support people with leakage, urgency, frequency, constipation, pelvic pain, pelvic floor weakness or tension, postnatal symptoms, post-surgical recovery and bladder changes linked with perimenopause or menopause. The first step is not guessing what exercise you need. It is understanding what is contributing to your symptoms.
Symptoms pelvic health physiotherapy can assess
People often seek help for leakage, urgency, frequency, dribbling, difficulty emptying, bowel urgency, constipation, pelvic pain, pelvic pressure, and symptoms after surgery or birth. These symptoms are common, but they are not something you have to simply tolerate.
It is not always about a weak pelvic floor
Pelvic health symptoms can have different contributors. Some people need strengthening and coordination work. Others need relaxation strategies for overactive or painful muscles. Some need support with bladder habits, bowel routines, movement, breathing, pressure, post-surgical recovery or confidence returning to activity. A plan that helps one person may not help another, even if symptoms sound similar.
What treatment may include
Treatment depends on your assessment and goals. It may include pelvic floor training, pelvic floor relaxation, bladder retraining, bowel strategies, post-surgical rehabilitation, graded return to activity, movement support, and coordination with medical care where needed. The aim is to give you a clearer understanding of your symptoms and a practical plan you can follow.
Support for men
Men may seek pelvic health physiotherapy before or after prostate surgery, or because of bladder leakage, urgency, dribbling, pelvic pain or unexplained pelvic symptoms. Concerns often include confidence with work, travel, exercise or intimacy. Pelvic health physiotherapy can help assess what may be contributing and what rehabilitation options may be appropriate.
Support for women
Women may seek pelvic health physiotherapy for leakage, urgency, postnatal symptoms, pelvic heaviness, bowel concerns, pelvic pain, symptoms during exercise, or changes around perimenopause and menopause. Bladder changes during hormonal transition still deserve assessment rather than guesswork. Physiotherapy can help identify which factors may be involved and what support may be appropriate.
When medical review may be needed
Pelvic health physiotherapy does not replace urgent medical care. Seek medical advice for symptoms such as blood in urine or stool, unexplained weight loss, fever or infection signs, severe or rapidly worsening pain, new numbness or weakness, sudden change in bladder or bowel control, or new symptoms after cancer treatment. If medical review is needed before or alongside physiotherapy, this will be explained clearly.
