Specialist Women's Health Services

Pregnancy Care

It’s important during pregnancy to feel safe and supported in completing your training or sport you enjoy. The benefits of exercise during pregnancy are well documented.

Menopause and Perimenopause

We aim to support women with the impact of changing hormones in the lead up to and beyond the menopause. Many women can experience side effects including pelvic floor dysfunction, poor sleep, general aches and pains and a shift in mood. We are able to assess and appropriately treat these side effects and work with patients to achieve their goals.

The Mummy Mot

A Mummy MOT is a specialist postnatal examination for women following both vaginal and C-section deliveries. It will assess how your posture, pelvic floor muscles and stomach muscles are recovering after childbirth.

Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy for Pre and Postpartum Pelvic Girdle Pain

James is dedicated to alleviating discomfort and enhancing mobility during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Through personalised treatment plans, we target pelvic girdle pain, providing techniques and exercises that strengthen, stabilise, and restore functionality to the pelvic region. Our approach aims to improve overall comfort and aid in a smoother transition through pregnancy and into the postpartum phase.

Because James developed a specialist interest in the pelvis it was a natural progression that he sought to understand how the pelvic floor works, how pregnancy affects the pelvis and the whole body both before and after your baby is born. He has undertaken further postgraduate training in the treatment of persistent pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction in exercise as well as concerns about exercising during pregnancy, and postpartum issues.
