Frequently asked questions
Pelvic floor dysfunction is rarely resolved in one session. Most women need assessment, ongoing coaching, progressive exercises and regular review to achieve lasting improvement. When clients only book an initial consultation, they often leave without completing the full support they genuinely need. The 8-week programme ensures you receive consistent guidance, accountability and a structured plan that actually leads to change.
The programme includes:
One 60-minute full pelvic floor assessment
Eight weekly 45-minute 1:1 corrective sessions
Personalised home exercises adapted weekly
Support, education and guidance throughout
Follow-up review and ongoing plan at the end
This programme gives you the time, expertise and repetition your body needs for real progress.
The first appointment focuses on understanding your symptoms, goals and pelvic floor function. It includes:
A full medical and birth history (if applicable)
Posture, movement and breath analysis
Internal pelvic floor exam (only if you consent)
Discussion of findings and the plan for the 8 weeks
This session sets the foundation for your personalised programme.
I recommend starting from 6 months' postnatal to allow your body, hormones and tissues time to settle and heal in the early months.
However, if you are worried about something sooner than that, please book the 10-minute phone call so we can discuss your symptoms and decide the best next step for you.
Pelvic floor chairs use electrical stimulation to cause the pelvic floor muscles to contract while you sit, fully clothed. They can be helpful for some people as a passive way to stimulate muscle contraction, particularly in very early rehabilitation or when someone struggles to initiate a contraction at all.
However, they work in a generalised way. The chair cannot assess how your pelvic floor is functioning, whether you are over- or under-activating, how your breathing and posture affect it, or how well those muscles coordinate with the rest of your body during real-life movement.
My work focuses on active, functional pelvic floor rehabilitation. Through assessment, education and guided exercises, I help you understand:
how your pelvic floor works
how it responds to breath, posture and load
how to strengthen it (or relax it) appropriately
and how to integrate it into everyday movement like lifting, exercising and returning to impact
This approach builds awareness, control and long-term strength, rather than relying on a machine to do the work for you.
In short:
A pelvic floor chair can stimulate muscles
Pelvic floor guidance teaches you how to use and support your pelvic floor for life
For many women, especially postnatally, long-term improvement comes from understanding and retraining the pelvic floor as part of the whole system, not just isolated contractions.
