Thousands of women each year require help from a women’s Health Physiotherapist like me for pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse and urinary or faecal incontinence symptoms. The role and skills of women’s Health physiotherapist are often multi-faceted, spanning obstetrics, gynaecology, continence and sexual Health. The most common conditions treated are conditions of prolapse and incontinence associated with a weak pelvic floor muscles and myofascial pain, both can have a massive impact on our sexual function and our quality of life.

One woman in three has a pelvic floor problem and some sort of incontinence, but it still it seems to be a taboo subject and we are still not talking enough about it. Women can become incontinent for numerous reasons. It may be from underlying neurological conditions including; fibromyalgia, birth defects, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and other physical problems associated with age and child birth. Incontinence is not inevitable with age and it is often treatable. Restoring your pelvic floor condition will help restore bladder control, restore your confidence and improve your sexual response, plus help you feel better equipped and ‘comfortable’ to deal with life!
