Women's Health and Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

With Physiotherapist Jayne McIlveen

Whether you are experiencing bladder leakage, prolapse symptoms or pelvic pain, navigating pregnancy, or recovering after having a baby, our Women’s Health Physiotherapy service provides confidential, individualised care to help you understand your symptoms, build confidence and get back to the activities that matter to you.

How Women’s Health Physiotherapy can help

You may benefit from pelvic health physiotherapy if you are experiencing:

• Bladder leakage (urinary incontinence) – including leaking with coughing, sneezing, running, lifting or exercise.
• Bowel or feacal incontinence
• Pelvic organ prolapse – including vaginal heaviness, pressure or dragging sensations.
• Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction – including weakness, overactivity or difficulty coordinating the pelvic floor.
• Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse.
• Pregnancy-related pelvic and musculoskeletal problems.
• Postnatal recovery – including pelvic floor rehabilitation, abdominal separation (diastasis recti) and returning safely to exercise.

Meet Jayne..

Jayne is a chartered Physiotherapist with a background in Pilates, Sports therapy and rehabilitation and she has a particular interest in Women’s Health and Pelvic Health Physiotherapy.

Her extensive movement and rehabilitation background allows her to combine pelvic health physiotherapy with exercise-based rehabilitation, helping women not only to manage their symptoms but build confidence in movement and return to exercise, sport and everyday life

What happens at your appointment

Your first appointment gives you time to discuss your symptoms, concerns and goals in a private and confidential enviroment.

Jayne takes a thorough, individualised approach, considering your pelvic health alongside any relevant gynaecological, obstetric, musculoskeletal and lifestyle factors.

Depending on your symptoms, an appropriate physical assessment may be recommended. This can include assessment of movement, strength, abdominal muscles and pelvic floor. An internal examination may be offered where clinically appropriate to assess pelvic floor muscle function. This is entirely optional, will be fully explained beforehand and will only take place with your consent.

From your assessment, you will receive an individual treatment and rehabilitation plan. This may include pelvic floor rehabilitation and support with returning to the activities that are important to you.

A supportive approach to Women’s Health.
