Are incontinence, prolapse or hormonal problems disrupting your life?
At Ashgrove Clinic in Higham Ferrers, we specialize in women’s health osteopathy to support your well-being.
Women’s health problems can be embarrassing and difficult to talk about. We offer you a safe and private environment for you to tell us what’s happening, so we can help you get back to living your life again.
Our lead in the Women’s Health team is Brooke Robinson, our senior osteopath who has completed specialist training in Women’s Health at the Molinari Institute.
Hormonal shifts and changes in posture throughout life can put extra strain on your muscles, joints and internal organs.
Osteopathic treatment focuses on easing tight areas, improving circulation and restoring movement where things may feel ‘stuck’. This can be especially helpful for problems like pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, incontinence and menstrual problems.
Your treatment won’t just be about pelvic floor exercises, in fact in your pelvic floor might even be too tight. We’ll make sure you’re doing the right exercises that will work for you.
An example:
Brooke can help you if you have incontinence by improving the way pelvis moves, easing muscle tension, and supporting the function of the pelvic floor.
Gentle, hands-on techniques help release restrictions in the lower back, hips, and pelvis, which may be contributing to bladder issues. Pelvic floor exercises might be appropriate, or learning how to use the pelvic floor correctly and not over-doing it.
Treatment for incontinence can be especially helpful after childbirth, during menopause, or when managing stress-related symptoms.
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach to healthcare that can be particularly effective for many women’s health issues. Whether you’re dealing with period pain, pelvic discomfort, or the physical changes of pregnancy and menopause, osteopathy can help your body adapt and find balance.
The techniques Brooke uses are varied. Depending on what sort of treatment you prefer she can use very gentle techniques, like the ones she uses on babies and young children, or she can do the firmer techniques that some patient’s prefer.
Her skill is in finding the right way to support your body’s natural healing ability, reduce tension, and improve how everything functions together.
We know that your problems are unique to you – women’s health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your treatment will be tailored to you. Whether you’re navigating fertility challenges, the inconvenience of incontinence, or the physical changes of menopause, we’re here to help you feel more comfortable in your body.
