Expert Women’s Health physiotherapy for optimal health and fitness
Women’s Health Physiotherapy specialises in the assessment and treatment of all problems relating to the pelvis and pelvic floor in women. 1 in 3 women will experience pelvic floor problems at some point in their lives which isn’t that surprising when we know that 86% of women will have a baby and every woman will experience the menopause – two major events in a woman’s life that can result in pelvic health issues such as leaking, prolapse and sexual discomfort. Despite these statistics 75% of women just put up with symptoms like incontinence. Women’s Health Physiotherapy is minimally invasive, has a high success rate and is widely acknowledged as the preferred treatment for many pelvic health issues so there really is 100% no need to suffer in silence or think there is nothing that can be done.
