WOMEN’S HEALTH PHYSIOTHERAPY HARLEY STREET
HARLEY STREET WOMEN’S HEALTH PHYSIO CLINIC
Women’s health is a specialised area within physiotherapy that addresses a wide range issue affecting the pelvic and abdominal region ranging from pregnancy related complications to urinary incontinence in athletes. Many women avoid seeking help due to embarrassment or attribute their symptoms to a normal part of being a woman. Although, these problems are common, they are not normal. Physiotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment in pelvic health issues, improving symptoms and women’s quality of life. Women should not suffer in silence anymore.

What to expect at your appointment?
To gain a full picture of your condition we will ask you a detailed history of your symptoms and lifestyle. We will then do a thorough objective assessment which will include an external and internal (vaginal) pelvic floor examination. This may not be compulsory in all cases, but it plays a valuable part of the assessment, which will help our physiotherapists to decide the best treatment for you. If you wish you can bring a chaperone to your assessment with you. We appreciate that this can be daunting for most people, but you will be given the opportunity to ask as many questions as you like and discuss which treatment options you feel most comfortable with, with your physiotherapist.
What’s involved in the treatment?
Following your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will advise you on what treatments are most suitable for your condition. This will also include a home treatment plan and lifestyle advise. Common tools that we use as part of our treatment include;
