We are here to help

Nearly 1 in 3 women will experience pelvic floor and abdominal symptoms during their lifetime. These problems may begin in pregnancy or after childbirth. Some women have suffered with pelvic floor or abdominal problems since their teenage years, while others will only begin experiencing symptoms during perimenopause or menopause.

Many of us will accept these changes as natural consequences of motherhood or ageing without knowing that safe and effective treatment is available. Working with a specialist women’s health physiotherapist can significantly help your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

“Kathryn is a truly exceptional practitioner and person, who will treat not just the problem but also you as the whole person. She listens to everything you say, and then translates it into a diagnosis and then relays it back to you in an understandable way so that you can continue to work on the issue outside of the studio.

She has a huge breadth of knowledge and skill, which really shows when we work together. She is the first practitioner I have met in the past 10 years who has actually made a difference to my chronic pain. And has empowered me to continue to make a difference in my own time using the techniques I’ve learnt.

She understands that sometimes our lives are busy and gives manageable goals. I really couldn’t recommend Kathryn enough. She is kind, caring and extremely talented.”
