Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy
Our WomanKind Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy at Katie Bell Physiotherapy supports women through their postnatal recovery with a treatment plan tailored towards individual musculoskeletal conditions and concerns including perineal tears. Our specialist Women’s Health Physiotherapists are here to help you get back to your best, pre-pregnancy activity levels.
What is Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy?
Perineal Trauma involves any form of tear between the vagina and the anus and the NHS explains how this can happen during childbirth. Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy is a dedicated service for women who have experienced tears during pregnancy and need additional support recovering back to their pre-pregnancy health. In addition to this, the service also focuses on any musculoskeletal conditions or concerns you may have.
Who is Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy for?
Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy is suitable for women who are 4-6 weeks postpartum. Before booking your initial appointment we recommend contacting your consultant for a review before we complete an internal pelvic floor examination, just to ensure you are at a safe level of recovery to move to the next step.
How Can Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy Help?
Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy can help with pain management in the early stages of your postnatal recovery. In addition, we also complete an assessment of your pelvic floor dysfunction including creating a bespoke bladder and bowel treatment plan to help you recover as much as possible to your pre-pregnancy state.
As part of the Perineal Trauma Physiotherapy we also provide a rehabilitation programme designed to help you recover at a safe pace and implement strategies to aid this recovery. Alongside this we review your diet to ensure you optimising your bladder and bowel habits which can be quite difficult to deal with postpartum.
In order to help you to return to your pre-pregnancy activity level and abilities, we design and teach you a specific pelvic floor and core programme to help strengthen particular parts of your body again.
What to expect from perineal trauma postnatal physiotherapy?
Upon your initial Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy assessment we will need to know about your delivery and pelvic health history, so a lot of this will be discussion based at first.
For your pelvic floor examination we normally ask you to undress from the waist down, so it is important to wear clothing that you are comfortable in and that is easy to remove. We will provide you with a cover for your modesty. Commonly, this type of examination takes place with just just your clinician, but if it makes you feel more comfortable a chaperone can be provided.
During your Perineal Trauma Postnatal Physiotherapy appointment, we usually complete your pelvic floor assessment with you laying down to start with. But, on occasion, we may ask you to stand, or perform certain activities, such as a squat, to allow us to fully review your condition.
Depending on the stage of your recovery or your preference we may examine your pelvic floor differently and avoid an internal check. Everything is decided with your clinician, based around your needs and preferences.

Rebecca Gould2023-02-07I saw Emily for quite a few months after the birth of my baby and she was amazing. I honestly couldn't have been better looked after by her. She was so reassuring and gave me a plan for getting rehab and getting back into fitness. Emily is also so lovely to deal with and I really enjoyed our sessions. She is really knowledgeable and you just know you are in safe hands. I used to have regular massages with Hannah and James who were both excellent. I only stopped because we moved out the area. The Diamond package for monthly massages is well worth it. I also went to the baby and me Pilates course, which was really well led with great corrections.Steven Gibson2022-07-25Great overall experience!
