Do you know what you should be doing to get the best recovery from your surgery? 

If you have been waiting to have surgery for pelvic organ issues for a while there will be weakness in this area. Surgery will hopefully have been successful in correcting any anatomical changes but the muscles surrounding these changes need to be strengthened. To make this long term for you, this needs to be done in a functional way. It’s no good if you strengthen the muscles whilst sitting still if you want them to work when you are out and about, even just having a walk but also when you want to get back to more activity. Being active again is possible after this surgery, you just need to know how to get strong again in the most effective way. The Recovery programme can help you do this. 

The programme offers an initial 90 minute appointment where you will be initially assessed for soft tissue tightness and an appropriate gentle release treatment can be given along with exercise to initially activate your core and pelvic floor. This is then followed by 3 further 60 minute appointments where further soft tissue release can be worked on along with progressive exercise and further management of self - care areas that optimise healing and recovery – sleep, nutrition, bone and heart health, bladder and bowel health and general wellbeing. You will also have full support from myself throughout the programme.
