Women’s Health Physiotherapy
About Women’s Health Physiotherapy
Women’s Health conditions are common at all stages of life, including pregnancy, postnatal recovery, menopause and beyond. Many women experience symptoms such as pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse or bladder and bowel issues, often believing these are normal or something they simply have to live with.
At Enliven, we understand that these concerns can feel sensitive or difficult to talk about. Our aim is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel comfortable seeking help and discussing your symptoms.
Specialist Women’s Health Physiotherapy can be highly effective in managing, improving and, in many cases, resolving symptoms. We offer personalised treatment plans designed to address your individual needs and help you regain confidence in your body.
How can Women’s Health Physiotherapy help?
Women’s Health Physiotherapy can support you in a number of ways, including reducing pain, reduce bladder urgency and frequency, and help you return to normal daily activities with confidence.
Treatment may also help improve symptoms of prolapse, reduce urgency and frequency, support recovery after pregnancy or surgery, and address discomfort during exercise or intimacy. Our goal is to help you feel more in control of your body and improve your overall quality of life.

What does a Women’s Health Assessment involve?
Your initial assessment takes place in a private and comfortable setting and lasts around 60 minutes. We begin by discussing your symptoms, medical history and any concerns, covering areas such as bladder, bowel and pelvic health in a sensitive and confidential way.
This is followed by a physical assessment, which may include looking at your posture, movement and how your body is functioning. Where appropriate, an external or internal examination may be offered to assess pelvic floor function and identify the cause of your symptoms.
Following your assessment, we will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan designed to support your recovery and help you feel more confident and in control.
