Personal Training For Your Pelvic Floor

Many women who develop continence issues following childbirth are suffering in silence because of embarrassment over the condition.

The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the Royal College of Midwives are launching a joint initiative to prevent and reduce incontinence among women following pregnancy and birth.

In this film you can learn from a patient, physio and midwife about how pelvic floor exercises can maintain muscle strength following pregnancy and birth.

In the video above you can hear from a patient, physio and midwife about how pelvic floor exercises can maintain muscle strength following pregnancy and birth

One of the less obvious consequences of pregnancy and birth is the impact it can have on your pelvic floor muscles.

Throughout pregnancy, your baby is supported in the pelvis by your pelvic floor muscles. During delivery, the same muscles become very stretched, which can then cause many common pelvic floor problems including loss of bladder and/or bowel control, pelvic organ prolapse and reduced sensation or satisfaction during sex.

Exercising the pelvic floor muscles during and after pregnancy can help to protect you from these problems, both in the short and long term.

And the good news is that pelvic floor muscle exercises are easy to perform and can be done anywhere.

I had a really good visit to GoPhysio. I have had sciatica for two months and it wasn't showing any signs of improvement. Sophie gave me a thorough assessment and then provided acupuncture and ultra sound. After one visit my sciatica has almost gone. I am really pleased.

I have been attending goPhysio for about two years. As a company they are very professional and provide a very good level of service to include efficiency and courtesy and are always consistent in their approach. This very much includes the admin /reception team whom are the first people you make contact with. My Physio has excellent knowledge and has assisted me with sound advice and ongoing exercise regimes which are achievable and realistic. This has supported me well in between appointments. Although always busy I am normally able to see Roz at a mutually convenient time. Thank you to all the team
