What Is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy (sometimes called pelvic health physiotherapy) focuses on conditions that are specific to, or more common in, women — particularly those affecting the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, and reproductive system. It draws on the same evidence-based physiotherapy techniques used across musculoskeletal care, applied to the unique physical changes women experience through puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.

At 5 Star Clinic, this is treated as a highly specialist and sensitive area of care. All women’s health assessments in our Preston clinic are conducted privately, at your pace, and always with your informed consent at every stage.

Our Women’s Health Physiotherapy Services in Preston

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic floor physiotherapy focuses on the muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. Weakness, tension, or dysfunction in these muscles can contribute to symptoms such as urinary leakage, urgency, or a feeling of heaviness or pressure. Our pelvic floor physio assessments in Preston include a full discussion of your symptoms and history, with hands-on assessment only ever carried out with your full understanding and consent.

May help support: urinary leakage and urgency, pelvic organ prolapse symptoms, pelvic pain, and muscle coordination.

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

Pelvic health physiotherapy takes a broader view of pelvic wellbeing — encompassing pelvic floor function alongside related concerns such as pelvic girdle pain, bowel dysfunction, and pain during intimacy. Treatment plans are built around your individual symptoms, goals, and comfort level, and are reviewed regularly as you progress.

May help support: pelvic girdle pain, bowel-related dysfunction, and general pelvic discomfort.

Pregnancy Physiotherapy

Pregnancy brings significant changes to posture, joint stability, and core strength. Our pregnancy physiotherapy service in Preston helps you stay active and comfortable throughout pregnancy, with guidance tailored to each trimester — from early pelvic girdle discomfort to preparing your body for labour and birth.

May help support: posture and joint stability, pelvic girdle pain, and safe exercise guidance through pregnancy.

Pregnancy Back Pain Physiotherapy

Back pain is one of the most common complaints during pregnancy, caused by shifting posture, loosening ligaments, and added load on the spine. Our pregnancy back pain physiotherapy combines manual therapy, targeted exercise, and practical advice on movement and positioning to help you manage discomfort as your pregnancy progresses.

May help support: lower back and pelvic pain, sciatic-type discomfort, and day-to-day mobility during pregnancy.

Postnatal Physiotherapy

The postnatal period brings its own physical recovery — from healing after vaginal delivery or caesarean section to rebuilding core and pelvic floor strength. Our postnatal physio service in Preston supports a safe, gradual return to daily activity, exercise, and sport, whenever you feel ready to begin.

May help support: abdominal separation (diastasis recti), pelvic floor recovery, caesarean scar management, and a safe return to exercise.

Every treatment plan is personalised to your individual needs, with care tailored to your goals, comfort and wellbeing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Mr Jahanzaib Rasool. I came in with poor posture and chronic discomfort, and in a single session with clear guidance, my posture was corrected and I am relieved from the pain. His knowledge, patience, and hands-on approach made all the difference. I feel more aligned, energetic, and pain-free. Highly recommended for anyone struggling with posture issues or general body issues!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is women's health physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy addresses conditions related to the pelvic floor, pregnancy, and postnatal recovery, using evidence-based assessment and treatment tailored to each stage of a woman’s life.

What does a pelvic floor physiotherapy assessment involve?

Your first appointment focuses on discussing your symptoms and history. Any physical or internal assessment is fully explained in advance and only carried out with your informed consent — nothing happens without you understanding and agreeing to it first.

When should I start pregnancy physiotherapy?

There’s no fixed time — many women begin as soon as discomfort starts, while others attend proactively in early pregnancy to build strength and stability. Your physiotherapist can advise what’s appropriate for your stage of pregnancy.

Can physiotherapy really help with pregnancy back pain?

Many women find a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, and movement advice helps them manage pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain more comfortably day to day. Your physiotherapist will tailor this to your symptoms and stage of pregnancy.

When should I have postnatal physiotherapy after birth?

Postnatal checks are commonly recommended from around 6 weeks after birth, though this can vary depending on your delivery and recovery. If you have specific concerns sooner, it’s worth getting in touch to discuss timing.

Do I need a GP or midwife referral?

No referral is required — you can book directly with our clinic. We do recommend continuing to follow any advice from your GP, midwife, or consultant alongside physiotherapy care.

Is the appointment private and confidential?

Yes. Women’s health assessments are treated as a highly sensitive area of care, and every session is conducted privately, with your comfort and consent prioritised throughout.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your individual symptoms and goals. Some people notice improvement within a few sessions, while others benefit from a longer course of treatment — this will be discussed openly at your first appointment.
