Helping you solve those troublesome conditions such as:
Bladder leakage
Weak pelvic floor
Prolapse problems
One in three women are affected at some
point in their life with bladder, pelvic floor
or prolapse symptoms.
These often very distressing problems won’t improve
without action and can get worse as you get older,
seriously affecting your freedom to live and function as
independently as you wish. These problems may also
have a dramatic effect on your sexual fulfilment, your
ability to play with your children, take part in sports, go
to work or even leave your home.
There is good evidence to suggest that physiotherapy
is particularly effective in the treatment of the above
problems prior to further investigations, treatment,
medication or surgery. Government guidelines
recommend physiotherapy as an initial treatment.
Physiotherapy can provide simple and effective
solutions. This treatment is completely confidential,
allowing you to have complete trust in the service
provided.
You will once again be able to have the self confidence
in your ability to live as carefree as you wish.
