Mummy MOT®
Common Women’s Health Conditions We Treat
We are proud to offer the Mummy MOT®, a specialist postnatal assessment designed to support your recovery after childbirth.
This comprehensive service helps rebuild strength, function, and confidence as you return to the activities you love- whether that’s lifting your baby, exercising, or simply moving without discomfort.
Bladder & Bowel Incontinence
Incontinence is a very common problem that can be very distressing and significantly impact quality of your life. Although more prevalent after the age of 55, it can affect individuals at any age.
Chronic Pelvic Pain & Pain During Intimacy
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is both common and debilitating. It can disrupt social life, sexual function, and occupational roles.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when one or more vaginal walls, or the top of the vagina, descend, creating a bulging or heavy feeling at the vaginal entrance, the bulging may stay within the vagina or protrude beyond the vaginal entrance. Even after hysterectomy, prolapse can still occur
Menopause & Perimenopause Care
Menopause is a natural life stage marked by the cessation of menstruation due to declining oestrogen levels, typically between ages 45–55. Perimenopause refers to the transition period before menopause. Symptoms may begin months or years before periods stop. Women’s Health Physiotherapy can support musculoskeletal health, pelvic health, and overall well-being during this phase.
