The Physiotherapy Centre is a regional pilates training centre for The Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI) and we teach many budding pilates instructors from here every year. Our Clinic Director is an International Pilates Master Trainer and our staff have trained with organisations and recognised providers from all over the world.

We started the trend for pilates in Liverpool many moons ago, and we created the first physio pilates matwork and reformer studio in the North West. We are NOT just fitness studio. We are a specialist physiotherapy centre and source only pilates teachers with extensive pilates training with reputable organisations, and understanding pathology and adapting movement to suit our clients is our specialism. We source top of the range equipment, and have amazing studio facilities. We really are the rehab experts and physiotherapists and sports therapists are able to clinically reason your rehab programmes and truly understand the pathology you are presenting with when you attend The Physiotherapy Centre.

We absolutely LOVE pilates and can't wait to share our passion and knowledge with you.

The Natal Check is so much more than a standard postnatal check.
Our facilities and equipment are unrivalled and our staff are advanced pelvic health physios, founders of @everything-natal and Mummy MOT trained.

Whether you have had a vaginal or Caesarian birth, our natal checks help to optimise recovery in the postnatal period. You may have lots of questions relating to recovery and what you are physically able to do. Doing the wrong types of exercise can lead to more harm than good. It is recommended to have a check approximately 6 weeks after the birth of your baby, but the check can still be useful much later on. if you are struggling, we highly recommend you come sooner rather than later.

What happens during a postpartum physio check?

The session can last up to an hour. An advanced physiotherapist trained in pelvic health will check your posture, lower back and pelvis, tummy muscles (checking for gapping and using real time ultrasound to see your muscles if necessary).
Within our sessions we can use abdominal ultrasound to check your tummy muscles and transperineal ultrasound to observe your pelvic floor and check for pelvic organ prolapse.

We can use electromyography on your pelvic floor in a non invasive position.

Your individual concerns, aims and objectives will be addressed within the session. Please note we will not be able to offer an internal pelvic floor examination if you are less than 6 weeks. You are also able to bring a chaperone to your appointment if you would like to.

Wherever you are in your pregnancy journey, our physiotherapy sessions can help you along the way and manage your symptoms.

You may have lots of questions relating to your pregnancy and what you are physically able to do. We are able to treat and help you manage lots of pregnancy related presentations including:

Pelvic Girdle Pain
Spinal Pain
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Nausea & Vomiting (with acupuncture)
Prolapse in pregnancy
Stress Incontinence / Urgency
other pregnancy related aches and pains
We can also help with your bespoke pregnancy fitness plan.

The session can last up to 45 mins. An experienced Women's Health Physiotherapist who is a little bit passionate (understatement) about pelvic health will check your posture, lower back and pelvis, tummy muscles and advise on pelvic floor function. Your individual concerns, aims and objectives will be addressed within the session. We can also use non invasive EMG and real time ultrasound to assess your pelvic floor strength and use as a comparison once you have had baby.

This is a 2 part appointment with the first assessment being 60 mins and includes a full pelvic health and prolapse assessment. A review appointment is then booked in a few weeks later. Both appointments and one pessary are included in the price.

What happens during the appointment?

This may involve using half a speculum to examine the prolapse and also real time ultrasound on the perineum to see the position of the pelvic organs and the effectiveness of the pelvic floor muscles in supporting the pelvic organs.
A Pessary fitting and practice of removal of pessary is performed on the day
A follow on appointment will be approx 2 weeks after fitting.

This appointment includes up to one pessary. Many women find that they need to trial a couple of pessaries to get the perfect fit. Additional pessaries are prices at £70.
A women's health follow on appointment every 3-6 months will then be required to check the health of your tissues and discuss your symptoms.

Studies show that pessary placement in women is mainly well accepted with high success, improving quality of life and preventing surgery. It is important to remember that there are a small amount of women that have no success with them and a pessary will not produce the desired effect.
