Alma Physiotherapy Physiotherapy, pelvic physiotherapy, women's health, yoga & pilates
Honest, informative, transparent. Why is womens’ health important?

Your pelvic floor does more than you think! We rely on it when we laugh, cry, sneeze or do sports to make sure we don’t have any unwanted leakage downstairs. Liz has a masters in physiotherapy, is trained in medical acupuncture and pilates and has worked in France. In France, at least 10 physiotherapy sessions are provided after birth. Unfortunately this is not always the case in the UK! Frustrated with underfunded NHS resources and with inspiration taken from the brilliant post-natal care in France, Liz is on a mission to make womens’ health important and as standard for women in the UK. Everybody is different and your treatment program will be tailored to your needs. For this reason, the first session is always a little longer to allow time for planning and make sure you’re happy with what to do next. To book in with Liz for physiotherapy or 1-2-1 pilates at the Alma Vale Centre either call tel:+441173771186 or book online via https://www.almaphysiotherapy.co.uk/appointments .

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR BREAST PHYSIO?⁠
⁠
Breast physio isn’t well known yet in the UK, but used regularly in Canada and Australia. ⁠
⁠
More papers, like Roxo et al (2024) and Williamson (2024) have been able to support the use of therapeutic ultrasound for feeding mums. ⁠
⁠
We think this treatment is a wonderful and extremely effective option, and we see results from the first session.⁠

STRENGTH TRAINING & MENOPAUSE⁠
⁠
During menopause, changes in hormones can affect muscle strength, bone health, joint comfort, and pelvic floor function. Strength training plays an important role in supporting the body through this transition.⁠
⁠
Research shows that appropriately guided strength training can⁠
🤍 Support muscle and bone health⁠
🌸 Improve pelvic floor and bladder support⁠
🤍 Reduce joint pain and stiffness⁠
🌸 Improve confidence in movement and daily activity⁠
⁠
Strength training in menopause is not about pushing harder or doing more. It is about choosing the right type of load, at the right time, for your body.⁠
⁠
If you would like personalised, evidence led support, you can⁠
🤍 Book a menopause pelvic floor check⁠
🌸 Or arrange a free 10 minute discovery call with one of our physiotherapists⁠
⁠
Both options are available via the link in our bio 🤍

PELVIC HEALTH GETS MISSED & DISMISSED ALL TOO OFTEN
That’s why created Alma Physiotherapy 3 years ago to provide a sanctuary for people and pelvic physios who needed a whole body approach for treatment.
That’s why all our physios are both pelvic health AND musculoskeletal (MSK) trained, so you can actually get better.

RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT 🔍⁠
⁠
Keeping up to date with current research is a core part of how we practise at Alma.⁠

This month, we delved into compression garments for prolapse during running. Since this is a relatively new field, there’s really limited evidence (aka we need to collect more data!) on this topic.
⁠
We regularly review new evidence to help inform our assessments, clinical reasoning, and the advice we give our patients, always alongside individual needs and lived experience.⁠
⁠
Research helps guide care, but it never replaces listening, assessment, and personalised support.⁠
⁠
If you would like evidence informed, thoughtful pelvic health care, you can book in with our physios via the link in our bio 🤍

It’s LGBT+ History Month! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
We pride ourselves on inclusivity, and don’t think anyone should feel excluded from accessing pelvic healthcare.
We know there’s a way to go yet in ensuring everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community feels comfortable to access the care they need, especially when it comes to pelvic health.
Book a free call with our physios to see how we can help, judgement free.

WOW! WHAT A WONDERFUL WHIRLWIND!⁠ 🤍
⁠
On 1st Feb, Alma turns three, and we are SO grateful for every person who has trusted us with their care, their stories, and their recovery.⁠
⁠
Pelvic health is still a topic many people feel uncomfortable talking about. In the UK, around 1 in 3 women will experience pelvic floor problems at some point in their lives, and studies suggest that up to 70% of women still do not seek help for symptoms like leaking, pain, or heaviness.⁠
⁠
We started Alma because we believe care should feel⁠
🤍 Informed
🌸 Not rushed⁠
🤍 Honest and transparent⁠
🌸 Individual rather than one size fits all⁠
⁠
Over the last three years, we have seen how powerful it can be when people feel safe to ask questions about their bodies and receive support that is evidence led and compassionate.⁠

We’ve helped you keep breastfeeding more comfortable, supported fertility journeys, helped you return to exercise, prepare for birth, connect with your scars and work through difficulties with relationships and in*******se. And we are honoured!
⁠
Thank you for being part of this community and for helping us make pelvic health something we can talk about openly and without shame 🤍⁠
⁠
If you would like to book in with our team or learn more about how we work, you can find appointments via the link in our bio 🌸

All physios are HCPC, POGP & CSP registered.
