Common Conditions Treated by Women’s Health Physiotherapy

Lisa offers treatment for a range of women’s health conditions, including:

Prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when organs like the bladder, bowel, or womb shift and bulge in the vagina, causing discomfort. Physiotherapy can help alleviate symptoms and improve pelvic floor strength.

Incontinence

Urinary or anal incontinence, which is the involuntary passing of urine or stools, is often linked to pelvic floor weakness. Physiotherapy techniques, including pelvic floor exercises, can significantly improve control.

Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain can result from various conditions, including endometriosis, fibroids, or pelvic inflammatory disease. Treatment includes manual therapy, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.

Vaginismus

Vaginismus is a condition where the vaginal muscles contract involuntarily, making penetration painful or impossible. Physiotherapy can help manage this condition through relaxation techniques and pelvic floor training.

Pregnancy-related Pain

Pregnancy can lead to pelvic girdle pain, back pain, or incontinence. Physiotherapy during and after pregnancy helps women recover quickly, manage pain, and strengthen the pelvic floor.

Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction

Bladder pain syndrome and bowel issues like constipation or leakage can often be improved with pelvic floor physiotherapy, bladder retraining, and core strengthening.

Overactive Bladder

An overactive bladder can be caused by a dysfunctional detrusor muscle. Treatment often involves bladder retraining, pelvic floor exercises, and sometimes electro-acupuncture.

Treatment Process and Exercise Programs

Women’s Health Physiotherapy starts with a comprehensive assessment of your health, lifestyle, and specific concerns. The treatment process includes:

  • Assessment: A thorough evaluation of your pelvic floor health, posture, and movement patterns.

  • Treatment: Manual therapy techniques, pelvic floor muscle training, and tailored exercise programs designed to address your symptoms.

  • Education: Lisa empowers patients with information on pelvic health, lifestyle changes, and strategies to maintain long-term health.

  • Follow-up: Regular sessions to track progress and adjust treatment plans to ensure optimal recovery.

By combining manual therapy, exercise programs, and lifestyle advice, Lisa helps women improve pelvic floor health, alleviate pain, and restore their confidence.
