Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Leaks: Understanding Pelvic Floor Assessments

It’s a topic many women avoid, but if you’ve ever found yourself crossing your legs when you laugh or mapping out the nearest bathroom before you go out, you’re not alone.

Urinary incontinence affects millions of women, and it’s not something you have to just put up with.

We’re now offering women’s health physiotherapy in a dedicated, comfortable space designed to help you take back control, so what happens at a Pelvic Floor Assessment?

How it works

A pelvic floor assessment helps us understand exactly how your muscles are working. It’s not always about weakness sometimes the muscles are actually too tight, uncoordinated, or not activating when they should.

Rather than masking symptoms, a physiotherapist looks at your movement, posture, and daily habits to uncover what’s really contributing to the problem.

Creating your tailored plan

Every woman’s body is different. You’ll receive a specific, personalised plan to strengthen and retrain your pelvic floor in a way that works for you and your lifestyle.

Why early intervention matters

Addressing leaks early means faster recovery and less risk of developing chronic problems or prolapse later on. It’s especially important to seek help before menopause, when hormonal changes can make symptoms worse.

Prevention is power

Even if your symptoms are mild, taking action now helps keep your pelvic health strong for the long term whether you’re returning to exercise, recovering post-surgery, or simply wanting to move confidently without worry.

You don’t have to live around your bladder let’s get to the root and get you back to feeling your best.
