Pelvic Health

In the postnatal stage, an internal exam performed by a women’s health physiotherapist can be very helpful for restoring good function of the pelvic floor. This can help with life-altering conditions such as incontinence and prolapse. 

Eve Ashton-Monteiro is our brilliant physiotherapist specialising in pelvic health. Eve says that she wishes more people knew how to spot the signs of prolapse and what can be done to help. It’s important for everyone to have a pelvic floor assessment after giving birth so that any issues can be diagnosed and treated.

“Help is available. There is so much we can do to help women alleviate their symptoms and get them back to doing what they love,”

“As well as specific pelvic floor treatment, symptoms can be improved by addressing lots of factors including stress, tension, fatigue, fear of prolapse and leaking, lack of exercise, deconditioning and poor nutrition.”
