Pelvic/Womens Health Physiotherapy

Irene has specialised training in female pelvic health and can treat incontinence, sexual pain/dysfunction, prolapse, birth injuries and pelvic pain conditions (e.g. Vaginismus, Endometriosis etc.). Its not just kegels!

We provide antenatal and postnatal WOFs to assist you preparing for birth and recovering after birth. Even if you have no particular concerns it is beneficial to be able to get assessment and information to help reduce the potential of you developing concerns in the future. ACC now covers some birth injuries.

We also provide pessary fitting service for prolapse management if other strategies are not working for you.

Antenatal/Postnatal Physiotherapy

Aches and pains are common during pregnancy but let us help you. Physiotherapy is effective in helping to manage pelvic girdle pain, back pain, pubic symphysis pain, carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatment includes a mixture of manual therapy, belts/braces, exercise and lifestyle management.

We are skilled in exercise prescription during pregnancy and can guide you on this whether you are wondering what is recommended or how you can modify your current exercise programme.

Postnatal recovery is sometimes a shock to women and rarely fits into that 6 week period. We can assist with diastasis recti rehab, postnatal strength and conditioning and work with you to bridge the gap between rehab and returning to your sport or goals
