Services

Men’s Pelvic Health

At Helen Shaw Physiotherapy, men’s pelvic health is a key focus, offering comprehensive care for conditions related to the pelvic floor. These services include:

Prostate Cancer: Pre and Post Surgery Rehabilitation

For those undergoing prostate cancer treatment or surgery, we offer specialised rehabilitation to assist with both the physical and emotional recovery process. The pre-surgery rehabilitation focuses on strengthening and preparing the body for surgery, while post-surgery rehab ensures recovery and addresses complications like incontinence or erectile dysfunction.

Incontinence: Urinary and Faecal

Urinary and faecal incontinence can be distressing, but with the right treatment, it is manageable. We provide strategies and rehabilitation to address and treat the causes of incontinence, offering patients confidence and control.

Sexual Dysfunction

Pelvic health issues can affect sexual health, and we offer compassionate therapy to address sexual dysfunction. Helen treats these sensitive issues with professionalism and empathy, helping individuals and couples regain confidence in their sexual well-being.

Groin Pain

Groin pain is a common issue that can significantly impact daily life. We provide physiotherapy treatments to alleviate groin pain, helping patients return to full activity levels and improve mobility.

Women’s Pelvic Health

We also offer specialised care for women experiencing urological and pelvic health issues, such as:

Incontinence: Urinary and Faecal

Similar to the care provided for men, we offer urinary and faecal incontinence treatments for women. This may include pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises and lifestyle adjustments aimed at reducing the impact of incontinence.

Overactive Bladder Syndrome

An overactive bladder can be a frustrating and limiting condition. We offer rehabilitation and support aimed at managing symptoms and improving bladder control.

Groin pain in women is often associated with pelvic floor dysfunction or other pelvic issues. We provide targeted treatments to address and reduce this discomfort.
