Welcome to the Circle Health Group website. We've changed our name from BMI Healthcare. Just as before, we have thousands of specialists offering expert healthcare. Click here to find a specialist or a hospital near you.
Specialist physiotherapists provide advice, education and treatment techniques for a range of conditions including:
A weak pelvic floor can lead to involuntary loss of urine or incontinence. It may only happen occasionally and may only be small amounts, but it can still affect your confidence and stop you doing everyday things such as travelling or taking part in sports.
Women of all ages suffer from embarrassing urinary incontinence symptoms at some point in their lives. A number of factors can lead to weak pelvic floor muscles including childbirth, heavy lifting, persistent constipation, a chronic cough or being overweight. It can take some women up to 10 years to seek help for continence problems, either because they are too embarrassed, they don’t want to bother their GP or because they think its normal. (1) So, if you are among them, you are definitely not alone.
All inpatients are taught abdominal and pelvic floor exercises. Advice is also provided regarding posture, lifting and handling, toileting and potential continence problems.
All patients are encouraged to attend physiotherapy as an outpatient, six weeks post-surgery. However, patients can contact the department at any stage to discuss exercises and or concerns.
The Specialist team of Women’s Health Physiotherapists can be contacted on 0161 495 7034 option 2.
