Do you offer women’s health physiotherapy at all clinics?

Yes. Our women’s health services are available at our clinics in Golders Green, Hatfield, and Elstree.

What conditions do you treat?

Our physiotherapists treat a wide range of conditions, including pelvic floor dysfunction and incontinence, pelvic pain and prolapse, and pregnancy-related or postnatal issues such as diastasis recti. We also support women experiencing perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, including pelvic pain, bladder changes, and joint or muscle stiffness. In addition, our team helps manage sports injuries specific to female athletes—such as pelvic floor problems and bone stress injuries—while considering the unique physical demands of sport. We also provide rehabilitation and recovery support following gynaecological surgery.

Is physiotherapy safe during pregnancy?

Yes. Our physiotherapists use safe, gentle techniques to ease pregnancy-related discomfort, such as pelvic girdle pain, lower back pain, and rib or hip pain, and to help prepare the body for childbirth.

Can physiotherapy help after childbirth?

Absolutely. Postnatal physiotherapy can help restore pelvic floor and core strength, manage pain, and support recovery from conditions such as diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction.

Can physiotherapy help with menopause-related symptoms?

Yes. Physiotherapy can be very effective for women experiencing perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms such as pelvic pain, incontinence, muscle weakness, tendonitis, or stiffness. Our therapists provide tailored exercise and management plans to help improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your condition and goals. Some women benefit from just a few sessions, while others choose longer-term support. Your physiotherapist will create a plan after your initial assessment.

Do I need a GP referral?

No referral is necessary. You can book directly with any of our three clinics.

Specialist Physiotherapy for Pelvic Health, Recovery and Long-Term Wellbeing

Women’s health physiotherapy focuses on conditions that are often under-discussed but can have a significant impact on daily life. At BodyBalance Physiotherapy, we provide specialist care across our Hatfield, Elstree and Golders Green clinics, helping women manage symptoms, restore function, and regain confidence.

Our approach is discreet, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs, whether you are experiencing recent symptoms or long-standing concerns.

What Is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy, often referred to as pelvic health physiotherapy, is a specialised area of physiotherapy that focuses on the muscles, joints, and structures of the pelvis and pelvic floor.

These muscles play a key role in bladder and bowel control, organ support, and overall core stability. When they are not functioning properly, it can lead to symptoms such as incontinence, pelvic pain, or prolapse.

Physiotherapy aims to restore strength, coordination, and control within this system, improving both physical function and quality of life.

Our Women’s Health Physiotherapy Approach

At BodyBalance, we provide a calm, respectful environment where you can discuss your symptoms openly and receive personalised care. Our physiotherapists take time to understand your concerns and create a treatment plan that feels appropriate and manageable.

Detailed Assessment

Your first appointment includes a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, medical history, and movement patterns. Where appropriate, this may include assessment of pelvic floor function to guide treatment.
