Bowel Care
Bowel symptoms can feel difficult to talk about - but they are far more common than many people realise, and effective treatment is available.
Whether your symptoms began after childbirth, surgery, menopause, or developed gradually over time, pelvic health physiotherapy can help you regain control, comfort and confidence.
I offer expert support for:
- Faecal incontinence
- Faecal urgency
- Flatus (wind) incontinence
- Chronic constipation
- Incomplete emptying
- Haemorrhoids and anal fissures
- Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (3rd and 4th degree tears)
How I can help
Your assessment is thorough, sensitive and tailored to you. We explore:
- Pelvic floor strength and coordination
- Anal sphincter function
- Bowel habits and stool consistency
- Toileting mechanics and positioning
- Breathing and pressure management
- Core and hip support
Treatment may include:
- Individualised pelvic floor and anal sphincter rehabilitation
- Bowel retraining strategies
- Constipation management plans
- Education on diet and lifestyle strategies
- Support with transanal irrigation for bowel emptying
- Post-birth recovery support
- Guidance for return to exercise
- Liaison with your colorectal or gynaecology teams
Care is always delivered in a calm, respectful and private environment, with clear explanation at every stage.
You do not have to manage bowel symptoms alone
With the right support, significant improvement - and often full resolution - is possible.
