What is Pelvic Health?
Pelvic health encompasses a wide range of conditions that affect the muscles, organs and structures within the pelvic region. These issues can arise due to various factors such as age, pregnancy, childbirth or injury, and they can significantly affect your quality of life. Pelvic problems can also manifest as bladder, bowel or sexual health concerns, and often go untreated because they can be difficult to discuss or diagnose.
Conditions We Treat
1. Bladder Problems
- Urinary Incontinence: The involuntary leakage of urine, which can occur during activities such as coughing, sneezing or laughing.
- Urgency and Frequency: A sudden, intense need to urinate or frequent visits to the bathroom, often disrupting daily life.
- Overactive / Irritable Bladder: A condition where the bladder muscles contract involuntarily, leading to urgency and frequency.
2. Bowel Problems
- Faecal Incontinence: The inability to control bowel movements, resulting in accidental leakage.
- Constipation: Chronic difficulty in passing stools, which can lead to bloating, pain and discomfort.
3. Pelvic Organ Prolapse
- A condition where pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus or rectum drop down from their normal position, often causing discomfort or pressure. We provide management and rehabilitation to help restore pelvic floor support.
4. Bladder Problems
- Chronic pelvic pain can arise from a variety of causes, including injury, inflammation or musculoskeletal dysfunction. We use a range of therapies to alleviate pain and restore function.

What To Expect At Chichester Physio
When you come to Chichester Physio for pelvic health treatment, you can expect a thorough and holistic assessment. Our physiotherapists begin by conducting an in-depth interview to understand your symptoms, medical history and specific concerns. In advance of your appointment, we’ll send you an initial questionnaire to help you gather relevant information, ensuring we get the best picture of your health before we begin.
Your physical examination will be comprehensive, often involving an assessment of your spine, pelvis, hips and the internal pelvic region. We will fully explain each step of the examination process to ensure you feel comfortable and informed. If you would prefer, a chaperone can be arranged to be present during the assessment.
