Other Services Offered

  • Women's Health Physiotherapy

    At your first appointment we will begin by discussing your symptoms, treatment to date, and what your aims and goals are.

    A thorough assessment will be completed and depending on the reason for the appointment will typically include a postural assessment and review of your core musculature using the latest technology of real-time ultrasound. Within this session you will likely be offered an internal pelvic floor examination – this allows the assessment of the muscles of your pelvic floor – their strength, position and function.

    Based on this assessment a treatment plan will be discussed and started to correct any dysfunctions that have been identified.

    Initial Assessment: 60 mins - £80  

  • Post Natal Check/MOT

    Following your baby’s delivery postural changes, muscle imbalances and altered alignment occur and can persist. It is essential to correct and rebalance otherwise pain, prolapse, urinary incontinence or recti diastasis (tummy separation) will persist. Mums need to bend, lift, squat and twist every day to look after their little ones -it is essential that we look after ourselves too.

    This appointment is a detailed assessment of the abdominal and pelvic area and is recommended for all postnatal mums from 6 weeks onward, before returning to exercise. The appointment includes an assessment of your posture, breathing, abdominal muscles and pelvic floor strength. At FitFRAME physio we can use real-time ultrasound to assess both abdominal and pelvic floor contraction giving you a unique opportunity to see your muscles working on screen.

    The assessment aims to identify muscle imbalances and allow us to set you a home exercise plan to correct them, regaining stability and allowing return to all of the things that you love and wish to do.

    Initial Assessment: 60 mins - £80

Client Testimonials

  • “I cannot recommend Claire highly enough. Two ventouse-assisted deliveries thanks to two posterior babies left me with toileting issues. Seeing Claire was life-changing. Not only did she put me at ease for what is very intimate physio treatment, she also gave me great feedback on the cause of my toileting problems. She then gave me an exercise programme and I gradually became stronger. I also recommended her to a friend who could not sit through a film without going for a wee and she helped her get her freedom back as previously she could never be far from a toilet.”

  • “Claire Jacobs' expertise helped me to recover fully from 2 operations to my back and leg, which meant I had to spend 5 months in bed. My Consultant and GP had not expected me to recover so quickly and the fact that I did was down to Claire. She has an up to date and in-depth knowledge of both physiotherapy and Pilates, which is invaluable. Having recovered both I and my husband continued doing Pilates with her. I was so impressed that I recommended her to two friends who also used her and recovered from their injuries. I recommend her wholeheartedly.”

  • “Claire is an outstanding and highly professional Physiotherapist who provided me with a perfectly tailored programme that literally got me walking again. Following a sports injury that resulted in a torn calf, Claire worked with me over four months to gradually transition from crutches to learning how to walk all over again. Truly 5/5 star service!”

    Paul Raspin

  • “Claire's assistance as a Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor was a great help to stay in shape and she was much nicer about it than my Marine Sergeant Instructors!”

    Isa Graham

  • “I went to Emily for a postpartum check up and was suffering with hip/lower back pain. Her expertise made a difference from the first session and I've never had something make such a direct and clear impact on my life quite so quickly. She was also able to explain why I was feeling certain things in a way that gave me confidence through knowledge of what was happening in my body.”
