Women's Health
Our specialist Women’s Health Physiotherapist is available (by appointment) to treat a variety of conditions associated with Women’s Health in the comfort and confidentiality of one of our Healthflex clinics. She will assess and treat the musculo-skeletal problems that can occur pre and post childbirth. She is also able to treat bladder and bowel problems including stress incontinence.
Women are particularly prone to incontinence after childbirth, as their pelvic floor muscles have been weakened. Specific exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor can help and electrotherapy can stimulate the muscles if you cannot contract them yourself. Biofeedback can also tell you how the muscles are working.
