As a Specialist Women’s Health Physiotherapist, Helena caters for women through each unique life stage and can help you to manage the challenges that can arise in your body. Helena offers physiotherapy treatment for bladder and bowel symptoms and pelvic floor issues, including leakage and prolapse. These issues can occur at any life stage, but often present in pregnancy and the post partum period, and also during the menopausal stages. Helena also provides physiotherapy for pelvic pain syndromes. Pelvic pain can arise from many origins including following surgeries such as Caesareans, hysterectomies, prolapse repairs and intervention for endometriosis. Women’s Health Physiotherapy has been shown to be hugely effective in treating pelvic health issues, and Helena’s aim is to assist and empower women to live their lives free from restrictions of these conditions.

Mummy MOT Assessment
The Mummy MOT® is recommended for all mothers following childbirth, although it can also be extremely beneficial many years later.
The Mummy MOT provides a comprehensive assessment of your posture, breathing technique, abdominal muscles, tummy gap and pelvic floor activation. Helena can also can support you with any concerns you may have arising from the birth of your baby. The session can also include lactation and breast health care advice.
Following the assessment, a bespoke recovery programme will be designed for you. Helena aims to empower, educate, rehabilitate and optimise your recovery, both in mind and in body.
Why Choose the Mummy MOT®?
The Mummy MOT® is designed by women’s health experts to help new mums recover safely and effectively after childbirth. Without proper care, issues like pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti, and back pain can persist long after childbirth. The Mummy MOT® helps you address these problems early and gives you the tools to rebuild your strength and confidence.
Pregnancy MOT Assessment
Pregnancy and childbirth bring incredible changes to a woman's body, and it’s essential to take care of your physical health both during and after this transformative time. At Wolds Holistic Health, we offer a comprehensive Pregnancy and Birth MOT Assessment designed to assess your body through pregnancy and ensure that any discomfort or dysfunction is addressed early on.

Pelvic floor function
Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
Posture and alignment
Back, hip, and pelvic pain
Core strength and stability
Bladder and bowel control
Scar tissue (from C-sections or perineal tears)
Why Is It Important?
