Why you might need it

At Spire Fylde Coast Hospital we understand that incontinence is embarrassing and the symptoms can affect your personal life, your confidence and the overall quality of your day-to-day living.

Our pelvic floor physiotherapy programme offers high standards of individual care delivered by our highly specialist physiotherapists who will assess and treat your specific needs.

Personalised treatment

Your first step is to visit our continence service for discreet, professional and understanding care. Your one-to-one consultation aims to ensure you receive tailored advice and treatment to address your specific condition. Our physiotherapists pride themselves on caring for their patients, not just treating symptoms.

Our physiotherapists also have specialist training in the field of pelvic/vulval pain and pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain.
