Bladder Dysfunction

According to the World Health Organisation, bladder problems affect more than 200 million people worldwide. It is estimated that 1 in 3 women in the UK will experience bladder leakage. The bladder is designed to store urine until you are ready to empty. Leakage, frequency, urgency and bladder pain are all signs from your body that your bladder is not functioning normally.

Physiotherapy is an effective treatment for bladder problems.

Bowel Dysfunction

It is estimated that 1.4% of the UK population over 40 years of age suffers from bowel incontinence. Constipation affects up to 15% of the UK population. Bowel problems can have a major impact on an individual's social life and can lead to depression and isolation. Incontinence, constipation, urgency, frequency and abdominal pain are all problems that can affect the bowel.

Physiotherapy treatments can help to ease many bowel symptoms.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

According to the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, pelvic organ prolapse is present in up to 50% of women. One in 10 women will need at least 1 surgical procedure, and the rate of re‑operation is as high as 19%. The symptoms of prolpase include heaviness in the pelvis, a dragging or bulging sensation, a visible or palpable lump at the vaginal entrance and altered bladder and bowel habits.

Physiotherapist guided pelvic floor muscle training reduces symptoms.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time of great excitment for many women. However, some can be negatively affected by musculoskeletal conditions such as pelvic and back pain. According to the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, approximately 1 in 5 women will experience pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain and up to 70% of women will experience lower back pain. These are common but not normal conditions.

Physiotherapy treatment can ease the symptoms of pregnancy related pain of the pelvis and back.

Birth & Beyond

Childbirth can have a major impact on a woman's physical and mental wellbeing. Returning to normal activities of daily living, exercise, health and fitness are essential. Leakage, prolapse, pain, core dysfunction and deconditioning can be barriers to recovery. Thorough assessment of individual issues and the provision of a bespoke treatment plan is fundamental to a woman's return to normal.

The birth and beyond physiotherapy treatment plan is a tried and tested option for women after childbirth.
