Women experience unique and individual health challenges throughout their lives which can affect mobility, strength and overall wellbeing.

It is essential for women to seek help with tailored programs to improve physical function, reduce symptoms and enhance quality of life.

Pregnancy and childbirth are both physically demanding on a woman’s body. Working with a professional to provide safe and effective exercise can help;

• Reduce back, hip and pelvic pain during and after 
• Improve core strength and stability and support distasis recti recovery 
• Enhance overall fitness and mobility postpartum 

The hormonal fluctuations that occur during menopause can lead to bone density loss, joint pain and muscle weakness. With regular exercise you can;

• Prevent or slow osteoporosis progression
• Improve cardiovascular health and energy levels
• Maintain and improve muscular strength and joint function

Women are more susceptible to experiencing chronic pain and fatigue syndromes such as fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Regular exercise is beneficial for these by;

• Manage and reduce pain and stiffness through gentle movement 
• Improve mobility and functional capacity 
• Increase energy levels and reduce fatigue

Women may experience multiple different pelvic health conditions including incontinence, prolapse and pelvic pain. With safe and gentle movement prescribed by a professional exercise can help with;

• Strengthening pelvic floor muscles 
• Improve bladder control 
• Strengthen abdominals to improve stability and overall function

Regular movement that includes a combination of strength, mobility and cardiovascular exercise are essential for managing women’s health conditions. 

The process begins with an initial consultation and thorough movement assessment so that we can fully understand your medical history and how your current symptoms are impacting your day to day life.

Once the movement assessment is complete, the Exercise Physiologist you will be working with will design a bespoke, engaging and dynamic exercise programme incorporating a combination of the recommended types of exercise for osteoarthritis. They will also take into any other fitness goals you have, as well as any other conditions you may be managing.

Each week, you will have one or more live one-hour session(s) with your Exercise Physiologist, who will visit your home or coach you online based on your preferences.

Outside of the sessions, you can expect to be given an individualised home-exercise plan to complete in your own time and your Exercise Physiologist will provide encouragement, accountability and enthusiasm to help keep you on track.
