Pelvic Health
Womens Health
Women’s Health Physiotherapy is the therapeutic treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction and disorders affecting the pelvis. This can include issues such as pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, bladder or bowel dysfunction and pain.
Many women often delay receiving help for these types of problems due to feelings of embarrassment and/or being unaware that Women’s Health Physiotherapy is a treatment option for them. Despite this, specialist pelvic health physiotherapy treatment is often very beneficial for many women and may help reduce or even resolve symptoms.
It is never too late to seek help regardless of length and severity of symptoms. We understand symptoms may co-exist and/or fluctuate.
In addition we have lists of conditions we can help with -which could look good in a drop down list I will add this as a separate document

Meet The Team
EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews Julie Webb2021-11-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After the first visit with Cat I felt confident in her diagnosis. Videoing me on treadmill to help identify the root cause of my problem and giving me specific exercises to strengthen weaknesses. Her hands on approach really helped release some muscles that overtime had been so tight they where causing a lot of pain. Massive relief to finally feel pain free. Thank you!

Catherine Hughes was able to pinpoint the problem and give me exercises that really helped. Everyone here is always helpful and cheerful. I would recommend this practice to anyone.

After my assessment with Cat, she contacted my GP and arranged for an x-ray and blood tests. It turns out I have gout and tendon problems. Cat has given me exercises to help with the tendon problems and the GP is helping with the gout. Cat was a great help and everyone there is very friendly. Highly recommended.

I found them to be extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. They were able to pinpoint my issues quickly and suggest various strategies to deal with them. I would like to thank the team for their help and will certainly use them again! Gayle Forshaw2018-01-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sent my son to West Kirby Physiotherapy after a year of him suffering pain in his legs after doing sports. He was diagnosed within 10 mins of his consultation and the physiotherapist was amazing, making him feel comfortable and at ease. We were given a personal physiotherapy program to follow, with lots of advice and a follow up appointment. Since following the program, there has been a significant improvement in my son's mobility and the pain has almost completely vanished.
