Workshops
In addition to seeing women on a 1:1 basis, Women's Physiotherapy Reigate also runs workshops. These are small group sessions to educate and inform women about pelvic health with lots of opportunity to ask questions. There are three types of workshops depending on the subject that is most relevant.
Pelvic floor workshop
This workshop is for women of all ages who would like to learn more about their pelvic health including the pelvic floor with lots of tips regarding how to improve their pelvic health. For some women this may be all they need to improve or resolve symptoms. The workshop is also appropriate for women with no symptoms who would just like to learn more and future proof their pelvic health. The workshop is a small group session with lots of opportunity to ask questions.
The workshop includes information about:
The pelvic floor and how it works
How the bladder and bowel work
Prolapse and how to manage it
The diaphragm and the role it has to play
How to optimise the function of all of the above
