Women's Health Physiotherapy
In A-Z PHYSIO HEALTH we are passionate about women’s health. We find it really frustrating that so many women put up with problems that specialist treatment could resolve. It seems to be such a taboo subject that often women are too embarrassed to talk openly about their problems, and so they remain unreported and untreated. It gives us immense satisfaction when clients report significant improvements, if not cure. We just wish more people knew about Women’s Health Physiotherapy and how it works.
We have a special interest in women’s health physiotherapy and we treat women who suffer from pregnancy-related musculoskeletal problems and women who have problems with their bladder, bowels or pelvic floor. These might be antenatal or postnatal problems associated with pregnancy.
Women’s health physiotherapy can improve the quality of women’s lives by empowering them to take control of their problems. In fact, research-based evidence and health guidelines recommend supervised pelvic floor muscle training as a first-line course of action to treat urinary incontinence.
Don’t suffer in silence! If you have a women’s health problem, now’s the time to do something about it. Contact A-Z PHYSIO HEALTH for a free telephone consultation to discuss how women’s health physiotherapy might help, or arrange to see us at one of two clinics in Nicosia and Limassol.
Our Women’s Health Physiotherapy practice is holistic. It is not just about teaching pelvic floor muscle exercises, although this is obviously an important element. Treatment is tailored to help reduce any pain or embarrassment clients may be experiencing, whilst at the same time restoring and/or improving function (be it bladder, bowels or mobility). Clients are often surprised to learn that women’s health physiotherapy involves a broad range of treatment and advice, for example on bladder and bowel habits, diet, fluid intake, exercise and lifestyle. We provide plenty of information and advice and also the opportunity to ask questions so that clients can decide on the best treatment options for them.
Women’s health physiotherapy can have a number of positive outcomes.
