Women's Health Physiotherapy is an umbrella term for all those issues that specifically affect women throughout their lives from starting puberty and perhaps experiencing endometriosis, to ante and postnatal issues (for example: pubic symphysis disorder or pelvic prolapse) right through to menopause and the older woman.

As any woman will know, Physiotherapists specialising in female health are few and far between and finding one as highly qualified as Mariola, even harder.

We know that it is a big step to ask for help with personal issues, but rest assured that within minutes of meeting Mariola, you will feel totally at ease, encouraged by her kindness and empathy, but also that feeling you are in the care of someone who really knows their specialist area.

What will the first women’s health physio visit involve?

A detailed medical history will be taken to help us decide what the nature of your problem might be. An initial assessment might involve an internal examination (only with your consent) where your pelvic floor muscle tone, strength and endurance will be assessed. This is an important part of your examination and necessary in identifying the control of your pelvic floor muscles.  Please, speak with your women`s health physio if you do not feel comfortable with this examination or if you would like to have somebody present with you. You are free to withdraw your consent. Please, note that I would not do internal examinations within a minimum of 6 weeks post-partum or post-surgery. Internal examinations can be done in the early and late stages of the menstrual period. At the first visit, I might also examine your abdominal muscles, spine, hips and pelvis. Based on all the information gathered, a management plan will be discussed with you.

If any of the issues listed below are causing you concern, and you would like some help to make your life easier and more enjoyable, don't delay, make a booking or send Mariola an email to find out more. Don't suffer in silence (especially when you don't need to).

👉🏼 pelvic pain & pubic symphysis disorder

👉🏼 bladder and bowel problems,

👉🏼 ante-and post-natal rehabilitation,

👉🏼 pelvic organ prolapse

👉🏼 breastfeeding issues

👉🏼 Issues relating to menopause

👉🏼 Urinary incontinence

. . . . and much more!

Just in case you are still on the fence:

Mr. Michael Lenihan, CEO of National Maternity Hospital at Holles Street

Anthony Moyle, Senior Meath Footballer

Not only can he speedily diagnose and treat my back and associated ailments, but he also gives advice and exercises to strengthen the support muscles.

After graduating from the McTimoney Chiropractic School in Oxford UK, Phil ran his own practice in Derby since 1992, and moved to Ireland in September 2021. Over the years Phil has helped hundreds of people find relief from a wide variety of body pain problems, both acute and long-standing, or thus far ‘unsolved’ painful conditions, using a mixture of McTimoney Chiropractic (known for being extremely gentle and effective) and Zero Balancing (a deeply relaxing form of manual therapy drawing on the principles of osteopathy, and Eastern medicine practices), as well as movement, posture and breathing exercises that are both easy and pleasant to do. Phil is a highly renowned and respected practitioner, having been invited as a guest speaker on many platforms internationally, and has published a book entitled ‘Unravelling - Letting Go, Getting Well’. We are very lucky to have him at BodyMed. Here are just a few testimonials that speak for themselves…

Gary P: “Phil has managed my skeleton since I was 14. I am now 38. He has a unique and precious skill at fixing the body when needed. Sport injuries, accidents and growing pains… he sorted them all!”

Mark T: “Having tried various treatments in an attempt to alleviate my back/neck and shoulder issues from years of bad posture and hard labour work. Phil was recommended to me and I’m so glad they did! I can honestly say I feel fixed for the first time since I can remember. I am able to go about my daily work much more comfortably and with a confidence in my physical ability.”

Jess B: “What a gentleman Phil is, such empathy and kindness that is rare to find in any practitioner. He also knows his stuff and is one of the only people to help my poor fibro body to be pain free and to relax its grip on my bones. I happily drove for over an hour to see him, and would do again!”

Mark C. “Phil takes the time to speak with you to better understand you, your lifestyle, and what has led you to being in front of him. He has extraordinary insight into what works and what doesn’t work from a therapeutic perspective. Do not expect to be twisted up like or pretzel or have your bones cranked ‘into their correct position’. Instead he’ll offer gentle hands-on work, and give you exercises that will address your issues and that are easily performed in conjunction with alterations to movement behaviours that you probably don’t even realise you are doing. Cannot recommend Phil highly enough.”
