Pelvic Health / Women’s Health Physiotherapy

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy at OM is a person-centred, evidence-based approach to pelvic health, aiming to restore function of the pelvic floor muscles in relation to surrounding structures, the visceral organs and breathing mechanics.

Women's Health Physiotherapy is commonly used to help with conditions affecting women at different stages of life, including pregnancy and postnatal issues such as urinary incontinence, pelvic floor muscle weakness or overactivity, bladder pain syndrome, diastasis recti, prolapse, episiotomy or C-section scarring, pelvic pain, sciatic pain, lower back pain, painful intercourse and coccyx pain.

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy can be an effective part of managing pelvic floor dysfunction. We work with you to understand your problem and retrain these muscles, helping reduce symptoms so you can get back to living life as normal.

Pregnancy MOT

Our Pregnancy MOT (also known as a prenatal MOT) is a comprehensive assessment with a specialist women's health physiotherapist, covering pelvic floor and abdominal muscle function, posture and movement, and individual advice on safe exercise, birth preparation and perineal massage.

It's suitable at any stage of pregnancy, and particularly helpful for pelvic girdle or lower back pain, hip or sacroiliac discomfort, bladder leakage or heaviness, or concerns about abdominal muscle separation.

Postnatal MOT

Post Natal Assessment at OM is a person-centred, evidence-based approach to pelvic health, pelvis and spine — a thorough, in-depth assessment of issues related to pregnancy and childbirth, carried out by a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist. Completely individual to you, the consultation includes an exam of your pelvic floor, pelvis, sacroiliac joint and lumbar spine, abdominals and any scar tissue.

Our pelvic health physiotherapist Courtney will assist you with rehabilitation to help you return to exercise safely, so you feel knowledgeable and empowered about your body as you navigate motherhood.

Our post natal assessment is recommended for women following both vaginal and caesarean deliveries, whether it's been 6 weeks or several years since birth.

Sports Physiotherapy

In sports and musculoskeletal health, physiotherapists play a key role in the prevention, assessment and rehabilitation of injuries, for athletes and enthusiasts alike. Our physiotherapists draw on their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to assess, diagnose and treat a range of sport-related conditions.

Combining therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and sports-specific rehabilitation programmes, we address musculoskeletal issues with precision — whether that's supporting recovery from an acute injury or building a performance strategy.

A hands-on approach, combined with evidence-based practice, helps not only manage injuries but also supports prevention and long-term health.
