Frequently Asked Questions – Women’s Health Physiotherapy in Clapham
What is women’s health physiotherapy? Women’s health physiotherapy focuses on treating physical issues related to the pelvic floor, core muscles, postnatal recovery, and hormonal changes. It is designed to support women through all life stages, from after childbirth to menopause, helping restore function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.
Can physiotherapy help with menopause symptoms? Yes. During perimenopause and menopause, many women experience joint pain, pelvic floor weakness, incontinence, and posture-related discomfort. Physiotherapy can address these issues through pelvic floor rehab, postural correction, and targeted exercises that support your changing body.
Do you offer pelvic floor physiotherapy? Absolutely. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a core part of our women’s health service. We help women with incontinence, heaviness, prolapse symptoms, and pelvic pain, whether these have developed after childbirth or during later life stages. Our approach is always private, supportive, and tailored to you.
What is a Mummy MOT, and do you offer it in Clapham? Yes, we offer a version of the Mummy MOT. This is a postnatal assessment designed for women 6-weeks post childbirth, focusing on pelvic floor strength, abdominal separation, postural changes, and overall recovery. Whether you had a vaginal birth or C-section, the 'Mummy MOT' provides essential insight into your physical health after pregnancy and helps guide your recovery.
How does postnatal recovery physiotherapy work? Our postnatal sessions support your body’s recovery after pregnancy and birth, including help with C-section recovery, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and general pelvic floor dysfunction. We create a personalised plan that helps you regain strength and return to everyday movement safely.
Is the service confidential and private? Absolutely. Every consultation at Nordic Balance Clapham is carried out in a private, respectful, and supportive setting. We understand that women’s health issues can be personal, and our team ensures complete confidentiality and sensitivity in every session.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment? No referral is needed. Our clinic is based in Clapham and regularly sees women from Balham, Brixton, Stockwell, Streatham Hill and surrounding areas. Our team is here to help.
