Women’s Health Check
Our Women’s Health Check is a comprehensive assessment designed for all women, including those who are post-partum, peri-menopausal and menopausal. The aim is to identify and address pelvic health, abdominal, and musculoskeletal concerns, and to provide clear guidance on how to improve strength, comfort and day-to-day function.
Helen Alsop, our Specialist Physiotherapist, has a particular interest in Women’s Health and offers a holistic, tailored approach. She is happy to discuss your needs and advise on the most appropriate course of treatment.
What to expect at your assessment:
• A detailed discussion of your medical, pregnancy (if relevant) and symptom history
• A physical examination to identify areas requiring support, such as pelvic floor dysfunction, rectus diastasis, back or pelvic pain, or post-surgical issues
• A personalised treatment plan based on your goals, lifestyle and areas of concern
• Advice, guidance and rehabilitation exercises to improve core stability, posture and pelvic floor function
Post-partum patients should wait until after their 6-week check before booking. If you have had a C-section, scar management is often included to support healing and improve abdominal engagement.
Areas commonly treated:
Pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary incontinence (Including stress incontinence, urgency and increased frequency):
These issues can occur at any age, even in active women, and are often linked to muscle imbalance, weakness or prolapse. Many women delay seeking help, but physiotherapy can be highly effective even if symptoms have been present for a long time
Pregnancy-related back pain:
Discomfort during pregnancy is common as the body adapts to the growing baby. Treatment will depend on the cause and may include manual therapy, exercise and postural guidance.
Post-abdominal surgery recovery:
When you are cleared to begin physiotherapy, we can support you with appropriate exercises and scar management techniques to aid recovery and restore strength.
