What Is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?
Women’s health physiotherapy focuses on the assessment and treatment of conditions affecting the pelvic floor and surrounding structures.
This includes support before, during and after pregnancy, as well as treatment for a wide range of pelvic health concerns that can affect daily life, movement and wellbeing.
At Salford City Clinic, your care is tailored to your individual symptoms and goals, combining hands-on treatment, rehabilitation exercises and education to support long-term improvement.
What Conditions Can Women’s Health Physiotherapy Help With?
We provide treatment for a wide range of pelvic and women’s health concerns, including:
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Urinary or Faecal Incontinence
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pregnancy-related and Postnatal Musculoskeletal Pain
Post-surgical Rehabilitation
Pelvic Pain
Diastasis Recti
Many patients also benefit from support with associated symptoms such as back pain treatment, hip and groin pain treatment and neck pain treatment.
How We Treat Pelvic Health Conditions
Your treatment plan is tailored specifically to you and may include a combination of:
- Pelvic floor strengthening and coordination exercises
- Techniques to relax an overactive or tight pelvic floor
- Core rehabilitation following pregnancy or surgery
- Manual therapy to support movement and reduce discomfort
- Education around bladder and bowel health
- Guidance on safe return to exercise and activity
- Pain management strategies for persistent symptoms
Where appropriate, we may advise on the use of rehabilitation tools such as biofeedback or pelvic floor devices, although these are not required for all patients.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
We understand that attending a pelvic health appointment can feel daunting. Our aim is to make the process as comfortable and supportive as possible.
Your initial appointment will include:
- A detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history and goals
- Sensitive questions around bladder, bowel and pelvic health where relevant
- Assessment of movement, posture and muscle function
- A clear explanation of findings and your treatment plan
A physical examination may be recommended depending on your symptoms. If this is clinically appropriate, everything will be explained fully and your consent will always be obtained.
You will leave your appointment with a clear understanding of your condition and a personalised plan to support your recovery.
