The Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Service provides patients with comprehensive assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of any pelvic floor related dysfunction. It is an outpatient service for female and male patients. The Physiotherapists are specialist in this area and run clinics Trust wide.

We treat a range of conditions including bladder and bowel incontinence, vaginal prolapse, pelvic pain and obstetric problems pre and post-natal.

We run online group information sessions for Pregnancy related Pelvic Girdle Pain and Women’s Health Information Sessions, providing information, advice and exercise relating to their condition.

There is a F2F group exercise session for New Mums or individual consultations to support them with their return to activity and help with any abdominal or pelvic floor muscle weakness.
