Female Pelvic Health

Over half of all women will experience symptoms of incontinence or pelvic pain in their lifetime

On average, it will take them 7 years before they seek treatment for these symptoms. Fortunately, pelvic floor physiotherapy can be highly effective and is a clinically proven way to successfully treat these problems.

“I went to see Julie for Women’s Health Physio and wish I had gone to see her sooner! After a few sessions I felt SO much better - emotionally and physically.”
