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.

The Acupuncture Collective 
Appointments available 2pm - 8pm (last few spots left)
Monday 10th November 

SAD, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder, can hit hard, as the clocks turn back in October, and the daylight fades...
 
What is SAD?

MIND, the mental health organisation, describe SAD's symptoms as difficulty in concentrating, feeling sad, guilty or hopeless, being more prone to illnesses such as colds and infections, sleeping too long or too little and changes in hunger or sexual interest. 
 
It is a reaction to seasonal changes in daylight, which disrupts our body clock and hormones like serotonin, which affect mood, appetite and sleep.

🌟 But here’s the good news 🌟
 
Acupuncture is the answer to our hormonal prayers! 

It helps regulate our nervous system, calming us down or energising us, depending on which points around the body are focused on. 

It also helps boost serotonin and melatonin, which boost our mood and help us sleep. 
 
We can also use acupuncture to strengthen our immune system, by using points on the Lung Meridian and tonify what the ancient Chinese called Wei Qi! Go on… Google it! All that and the loving embrace of our warm, friendly group clinic...
 
See you on 10th November...

Today we are welcoming the darkness at Samhain/Halloween…

Traditionally, in Celtic and other communities, this evening would mark the transition between the lighter half of the year and the darker half.

Transitions and womanhood feel synonymous, as we travel through life, with the rhythms of our bodies. I wonder if we feel the transitions of the natural world more keenly because of this...

Some believe that at this time of year the division between this world and the 'otherworld' is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through.

Ancestors are honoured and invited home, while harmful spirits are warded off. People wear costumes and masks, disguising themselves as harmful spirits, to ward off unwanted attention from the actual spirits.
