Incontinence is a huge problem with roughly 7 million women in this country, suffering a degree of incontinence. The problem is compounded by the fact that many are too embarrassed to seek help. A 2011 study in the journal of obstetrics and gynaecology showed that incontinence doubles the risk of post-natal depression.

Pelvic floor muscle exercises / kegels are proven to be very effective in treating a wide variety of pelvic health problems. Routine examination of the pelvic floor is recommended before a supervised pelvic floor muscle training program is commenced (NICE 2013).

Our highly experienced and specialist Women's Health Physiotherapists can complete this at one of your initial appointments, and review your progress as appropriate throughout your treatment.Following examination you will be prescribed a specific program to improve your pelvic floor activity. This will be individual to you and your symptoms, and will be adapted and progressed at regular intervals based on the training effect.

Via a series of questions, a subjective examination aims to determine what the present problem is, how it started and what aggravates or eases the symptoms. This is followed by a full examination of the affected and surrounding areas in order to determine a diagnosis. During the examination you may be asked to expose the affected area.

I wanted to pass on my kind thoughts to a member of your team I have been seeing for the last 7 months. I have been under the care of Melanie Underwood in Madeley Telford this year due to an ongoing pelvic and vagina problem which has resulted in planned surgery this year. I found this matter very upsetting and painful both emotionally and physically and my symptoms really hard to come to terms with and explain.
