London Sports Physiotherapyoffer specialist women’s pelvic health physiotherapy in Sutton, providing expert, compassionate care for a wide range of conditions that affect the female pelvis, bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor. Whether you are postpartum, perimenopausal, post-surgical, or simply struggling with symptoms that have been affecting your day-to-day life, our dedicated women’s pelvic health team is here to help.
Pelvic health conditions are incredibly common, yet many women suffer in silence, unaware that effective, evidence-based treatment is available.
At London Sports Physiotherapy in Sutton, we want to change that. Our specialist physiotherapists provide thorough assessments and personalised treatment plans in a private, supportive, and non-judgemental environment.
Women’s pelvic health physiotherapy focuses on the assessment and treatment of conditions related to the pelvic floor muscles, pelvic organs, and surrounding structures.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that stretch across the base of the pelvis, supporting the bladder, bowel, and uterus, and playing a key role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability.
When the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues are not functioning correctly — whether too weak, too tight, or poorly coordinated — a range of physical and functional symptoms can develop.
Our specialist physiotherapists use a combination of internal and external assessment techniques and hands-on treatment to restore normal pelvic function and help you get back to living your life fully.
Our women’s pelvic health physiotherapists in Sutton treat a comprehensive range of conditions, including:
We want every woman who visits London Sports Physiotherapy in Sutton to feel listened to, respected, and at ease. Here’s what you can expect from your pelvic health appointments:
Initial Consultation (approximately 40 minutes)
Your first session begins with a detailed, confidential conversation about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and personal goals. Your physiotherapist will take time to understand the full picture of your health before carrying out any physical assessment. There is absolutely no rush, and you are encouraged to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.
A physical assessment will follow, which may include evaluating your posture, breathing patterns, abdominal muscles, and lumbar and hip movement. With your full informed consent, an internal pelvic floor assessment may be recommended, as this provides the most accurate picture of pelvic floor function, tension, and strength. You are never under any obligation to undergo an internal examination, and your physiotherapist will always discuss all available assessment options with you beforehand.
Follow-Up Sessions (approximately 40 minutes)
Your physiotherapist will design a personalised, evidence-based treatment plan based on your assessment findings. Treatment may include pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation, manual therapy, scar tissue treatment, biofeedback, bladder and bowel retraining, relaxation techniques, breathwork, and lifestyle and exercise advice. Your progress will be monitored closely and your programme adapted as you improve.
Our goal is not only to resolve your symptoms but to give you the confidence, knowledge, and tools to maintain your pelvic health independently for the long term.
No referral is needed. You can self-refer directly to our Sutton clinic at any time. If you have been recommended by your GP, gynaecologist, or another healthcare professional, we are happy to work alongside your wider medical team.
No. While an internal pelvic floor assessment can provide very useful information, it is entirely your choice whether to proceed with one. Your physiotherapist will explain all options clearly, and a thorough assessment can often be carried out using external techniques and other tools. Your comfort and consent are our absolute priority.
Yes, and we actively encourage it. Pelvic health physiotherapy during pregnancy can help with pelvic girdle pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), urinary symptoms, and preparing the pelvic floor for labour and delivery. The earlier you seek support, the better.
It is never too late. Whether you are six weeks or six years postnatal, pelvic health physiotherapy can still be highly effective in addressing lingering symptoms such as incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain, or abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti).
This depends on your condition, its severity, and your goals. Some women experience significant improvement within four to six sessions, while others with more complex or long-standing conditions may benefit from a longer course of treatment. Your physiotherapist will provide a realistic estimate at your first appointment and review progress regularly.
Many private health insurers cover physiotherapy, including specialist pelvic health physiotherapy. We recommend checking directly with your insurer prior to booking. London Sports Physio in Sutton is recognised by most major health insurance providers.
Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended. You may need to undress partially for the assessment, so wearing underwear you feel at ease in is helpful. There is no need to do anything special in advance of your appointment.
You do not have to simply accept pelvic symptoms as part of life. Effective, specialist help is available, and you deserve to feel well. The team at London Sports Physio in Sutton is ready to support you with expert women’s pelvic health physiotherapy in a warm, professional, and confidential environment.
