Frequently Asked Questions

Pelvic health physiotherapy focuses on treating issues related to the pelvic floor, such as pain, incontinence, prolapse, and postnatal recovery. It helps strengthen and restore function, improving comfort and confidence in daily life.

No, you can book directly without a referral. However, if you have a complex medical history, it may be helpful to consult your GP or consultant first.

Your first session includes a detailed assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and goals. If needed, a pelvic floor examination may be offered, but only with your consent. Together, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan.

As a sole practitioner, I do not routinely have a chaperone present during appointments. If you would like a chaperone to be present for any part of your assessment or treatment, including an intimate examination, please let me know before your appointment wherever possible. I will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your request, however this may not always be possible and, in some circumstances, your appointment may need to be rearranged. If I do not hear from you before your appointment, I will assume that you do not wish to request a chaperone in advance. However, you will still be offered the opportunity to discuss chaperones, consent and examination options at your appointment before any assessment or treatment takes place. You are welcome to bring a family member, friend or supporter with you if you would prefer, although they would not be considered an independent clinical chaperone.

There is free parking available directly outside the clinic.

Every woman is different, so the number of sessions required will depend on your symptoms, goals and individual circumstances. Some women attend for a single assessment to gain reassurance, education and a personalised plan. However, where symptoms involve physiological changes such as pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse, bladder or bowel symptoms, pelvic pain, postnatal recovery or return to exercise, meaningful improvement often takes time and may benefit from a course of treatment and rehabilitation. My aim is always to give you the tools, knowledge and confidence to manage your symptoms independently wherever possible. We will work together to create a plan that is right for you, and I'll always be honest about what I feel is likely to be most beneficial. During your assessment, we'll discuss your goals, expected recovery timescales and whether follow-up sessions are likely to help you achieve the best outcome.
