Women’s Health Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy helps restore function when you are affected by injury, illness or disability, through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.

It’s a science-based treatment that takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes your general lifestyle. At the core is your involvement, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in the treatment.

Naomi specialises in women’s health with focus on the following:

Antenatal and Postnatal Women

Our bodies are amazing, however creating another life puts an significant strain on a woman’s system. These pressures may present differently in different woman and may include:

  • Incontinence
  • Pelvic Girdle pain
  • Low back pain
  • Carpel Tunnel
  • Diastasis Recti (Tummy Gap)
  • Prolapse
  • C-Section Scar Tissue
  • Vaginal birth tear

Pelvic Health

We all have a pelvic floor, a unit of supportive core muscles which support the pelvic organs. The pelvic floor is required to relax as well as contract to provide the support your body requires. When these muscles are underactive or overactive it can present with the following symptoms

  • Incontinence
  • Extreme urgency and frequency to get to a toilet
  • Feeling like you don’t fully empty your bladder
  • Heaviness, dragging or bulging sensation from the vagina
  • Painful sex
  • Pelvic girdle and low back pain
  • Many of these symptoms are “common” but not “normal”.

Menopause

This is phase in a woman’s life that is rarely discussed. despite this, many women will experience significant uncomfortable and unsettling physical symptoms which may last for many years. These physical symptoms may include:

  • Incontinence
  • Pelvic girdle pain
  • Prolapse
  • Joint pains
  • Constipation
  • Vaginal pain

With the right support, education and treatment many of these symptoms can be alleviated.

What the blazes! 

This UK summer has been hotter than most of us can remember. Some of us are loving it. Others are counting the days until it's cooler. 

Why are we all so different? 

According to Chinese Medicine, we all have our own unique balance of Yin and Yang. So while one person might thrive in a hot, energetic summer, someone else may find it completely depleting. 

If Yin and Yang have always sounded a bit mystical, here's a quick look. 

⭕ Yin - Feminine = Still, Cooling, Nourishing, Receptive, Moistening, Interior 

⭕ Yang - Masculine = Moving, Warming, Transforming, Active, Drying, Exterior
 
This summer has been incredibly Yang. 

While that can feel energising, too much Yang can make it harder to slow down, switch off and truly rest. 

You may have noticed more: 

⭕️ Tired but wired
⭕️ Restless sleep or insomnia
⭕️ Headaches or migraines
⭕ Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed
⭕️ Irritability or a short fuse
⭕️ Neck and shoulder tension
⭕️ Hot flushes or menopausal symptoms flaring
 
Acupuncture helps restore balance by nourishing Yin and calming your nervous system. Better still, you get permission to lie down, close your eyes while Sophie or Sunila work with your body's underlying patterns, giving you the chance for a deep rest and reset. 

Our next Acupuncture Collective is on 17 August, just a few days after the spectacular solar eclipse. Whether you're into lunar cycles or not, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, reset and head into late summer feeling more balanced. 

We'd love to see you there.
 
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 17th August.
