Perineal Tearing: How Physiotherapy Can Speed Up Your Healing
Perineal tearing is a common yet distressing experience for many women during childbirth.
Whether a first-degree graze or a deeper third- or fourth-degree tear, these injuries can affect your confidence and cause significant discomfort.
At PelviCare, we understand how profoundly perineal trauma can impact you, and we believe no woman should have to suffer in silence.
Physiotherapy is one of the best ways to recover from perineal tears. By helping scars heal properly, rebuilding the strength of your pelvic floor, and addressing related issues such as incontinence or pain during sex, physiotherapy can help you regain your confidence and resume a healthy, active lifestyle.
Why Choose Our Clinic in Greenwich?
PelviCare is dedicated to empowering women like you to take control of your health after birth.
Your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles work together to stabilise and support your body. When these areas are injured, it can affect many parts of your life, including your ability to exercise, continence and your self-esteem.
We can help you recover, along with providing the information needed to understand your body and what it needs to heal.
Experienced Physiotherapists in London
Our highly skilled physiotherapists will first carry out a thorough assessment to check the degree of your tear, how your pelvic floor functions, and any other relevant issues.
From there, we build a tailored treatment plan. This might include gentle soft tissue work to ease the tightness of the scar, pelvic floor exercises to restore strength, and strategies to support a pain-free love life.
Dealing with such issues quickly can make a significant difference. We often see women struggling for months with symptoms they feel too embarrassed to discuss, such as incontinence or painful intercourse.
Physiotherapy is not only safe but strongly recommended by current guidelines for recovering from a perineal tear. Our specialist team is here to guide you through each stage, so you do not have to navigate this alone.
