Closest to what you notice

This is a guide to help you decide whether to come in. It is not a diagnosis, and nothing replaces an assessment with a physiotherapist.

Sound familiar?

Common is not the same as normal.

Most women who contact us have been managing quietly for a long time. Planning the route by where the toilets are. Skipping the run. Crossing your legs before you sneeze.

It is genuinely common: one in 3 women have urinary leakage at some stage. But common is not the same as normal, and it is not the same as permanent.

01

Leaking when you cough, sneeze, lift or run

02

A sudden urge you cannot put off, or waking at night to go

03

Heaviness, dragging or pressure that is worse by the end of the day

04

Pain with sex, with a smear test or with tampons

05

Wind or bowel control you no longer trust

Our approach

Good care is more than Kegels.

The pelvic floor does not work on its own. So we look at how you breathe, how you manage pressure, how you move and how you load your body, not just whether you can squeeze. Heaviness is also not always what you think. A tight pelvic floor can feel much like a prolapse, which is why assessment comes before exercises.

  • A full history first: your symptoms, your birth history, your bladder and bowel habits, and what has been changing
  • An assessment that may involve an internal examination or real-time ultrasound, only ever with your consent
  • Findings explained in plain language, with no jargon and no alarm
  • A plan built around your goals, your body and the way you actually live

Every physiotherapist here is a woman, and no concern is off limits.

What we treat

Five words you have probably never said out loud.

01 Bladder leakage

Leaking when you cough, lift or run

Stress incontinence is leakage on effort: a cough, a sneeze, a heavy lift, the first kilometre of a run. It is not about willpower and it is not about how much you drink. It is about whether your pelvic floor can meet a rise in pressure at the moment it happens.

  • We assess strength, coordination and whether the muscles time their contraction correctly
  • Training goes well beyond squeezes: breathing, pressure management and how you lift
  • We build back to the running, lifting and coughing that real life demands

02 Urgency and frequency

The urge you cannot put off

Sudden urgency, going far more often than you would like, waking through the night, or leaking on the way to the toilet. An overactive bladder is a pattern the bladder has learned, and patterns can be retrained.

  • A bladder diary so we can both see the real pattern rather than guess at it
  • Calming and retraining work for the bladder alongside pelvic floor training
  • Practical changes to fluids, timing and habits that hold up on a working day

03 Heaviness and prolapse

Heaviness, dragging or a bulge

That feeling of heaviness or pressure. A dragging sensation, or a sense of something bulging at the vaginal opening, often worse by the end of the day. These are the signs of pelvic organ prolapse. It is common, it is rarely dangerous, and for most women it responds well to the right care.

  • We check what is actually happening, because an overactive pelvic floor can feel the same
  • Guided pelvic floor training, pressure management and honest advice on lifting and impact
  • A pessary fitting or an onward referral when that is the right step for you

04 Bowel control

Wind and bowel control you no longer trust

Difficulty controlling wind, urgency, leakage after what felt like a normal bowel movement, constipation and straining. These are the symptoms women tell us they have never said out loud to anyone. You can say them here.

  • Assessment of pelvic floor control, coordination and how you empty
  • Retraining the urge, the timing and the mechanics of a bowel movement
  • Straightforward guidance on constipation and straining, which protect the pelvic floor long term
Book for bowel control
05 Pelvic pain

Pain with sex, smears or tampons

Pelvic pain is hard to see and hard to diagnose, and women often carry it for years before anyone assesses it properly. Pain during or after sex, pain at a smear test, pain with tampon use, or a tailbone that makes sitting difficult.

  • A gentle, unhurried assessment that stops the moment you want it to
  • A plan of hands-on care, breathwork, stretching, graded exercise and, where useful, dilators
  • We work alongside your doctor when a condition such as endometriosis is part of the picture

06 Menopause and midlife

Pelvic health through midlife

Symptoms often surface or change around perimenopause and menopause, and many women assume that means the door has closed. It has not. Pelvic floor training works at every age, and midlife is one of the most worthwhile times to start.

  • Bladder, bowel and prolapse symptoms reassessed against what has actually changed
  • Strength and load work that supports bone and muscle health at the same time
  • Small group classes of one to four when you are ready to progress

Whichever one brought you here, it is treatable and it is assessed the same careful way.

How it goes

Your treatment journey with us.

Explore

Your first appointment is about understanding you. A full history of your symptoms, your birth history, your bladder and bowel habits, and what has been changing. Then an assessment, only ever with your consent.

Educate

We explain what we find in plain language, with no jargon and no alarm. Together we set goals and shape a treatment plan, and you leave understanding your body better than when you arrived.

Equip

Hands-on treatment in the clinic and a home programme built around your goals. Pelvic floor muscle training, breathing and pressure management, and how you load and move, fitted to your life rather than to a template.

Engage

As symptoms settle and strength builds, the focus shifts to resilience. Progressing your exercises, easing back into what you have been avoiding, or joining a small group class of one to four.

Establish

We refine the progress you have made and build habits that hold. Your pelvic floor gets tested against the demands of real life: running, lifting, carrying a child, swimming.

Embrace

A body you can trust, and a pelvic floor you do not have to think about all the time. We stay available for check-ins, so if anything shifts later you are never starting from scratch.

Before you book

The questions we hear most.

What actually happens at a pelvic floor assessment?

We take a full history first: your symptoms, your birth history, your bladder and bowel habits, and what has been changing. In some cases we may recommend an internal vaginal examination, and we may use real-time ultrasound. Nothing proceeds without your consent, and you can stop at any point.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. You can book straight into the diary. If you do have a referral letter or any investigations, please bring them along, or send them ahead by email or WhatsApp.

Will I need surgery for a prolapse?

For most women, no. Prolapse tends to stay stable over the years, particularly when the things that strain the pelvic floor are well managed. For many women physiotherapy makes a real difference, and most will never need surgery.

How much does it cost?

Every appointment type carries its fee in the booking diary on this page, which is where we keep pricing current.

Can I claim this on insurance?

If your insurance policy includes physiotherapy coverage, your sessions may be claimable. Check with your provider first to confirm coverage and whether you need a doctor's referral, and tell us at payment if you need a diagnosis on your receipt, a hard copy or an insurance memo.

Can I bring my baby?

Yes. We are a baby and kid-friendly clinic, and there is a change table and toys onsite to make the appointment as easy as possible.

Where are you and how do I get there?

We are at 410 and 410A Joo Chiat Road in Katong, a 650m walk from Marine Parade MRT. If you are coming via Dakota MRT, bus 16 gets you close. Street parking is available, with paid options at Katong Point Shopping Centre and Joo Chiat Road Car Park.

What if I need to change my appointment?

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to reschedule, so the slot can go to someone else who needs it. Missed appointments or late cancellations are charged at the full treatment fee.
