Pelvic floor physiotherapy for women

Pelvic floor symptoms are very common, but they are not something you have to live with. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialist area of physiotherapy that helps assess and treat problems related to the muscles, joints, and connective tissues of the pelvis and core.

Many people experience pelvic floor issues at different stages of life, including after pregnancy, during menopause, following surgery, or alongside ongoing back or hip pain. With the right assessment and treatment plan, these symptoms can often be significantly improved.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help manage symptoms such as:

Bladder leakage, urgency, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder
Pelvic heaviness or prolapse symptoms, including a feeling of pressure or dragging
Pelvic pain or discomfort, including pain around the hips, tailbone, or lower abdomen
Reduced core stability, affecting posture, balance, or lifting ability
Pain with movement or exercise, including walking, running, gym activities, or daily tasks

Pelvic floor physiotherapy during menopause

Hormonal changes during menopause can affect the pelvic floor, joints, muscles, and
overall movement confidence. Women may notice new bladder symptoms, pelvic
discomfort, or changes in strength and recovery.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy during menopause at Rise NW10 focuses on maintaining
strength, managing symptoms, and supporting long term physical wellbeing through
personalised exercise and education.
