What’s the difference between seeing the Clinical Director and a Standard Physiotherapist?

Our Clinical Director has over 15 years of experience, specialising in treating complex and chronic conditions. Their expertise allows for advanced assessment and management of persistent or hard-to-diagnose issues. An appointment with the Clinical Director is £125. Our Senior Physiotherapists also have the highest qualifications, holding medical degrees and extensive clinical experience. They are highly skilled in assessing and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal problems. An appointment with a Standard Physiotherapist is £99.

Should I opt for an ultrasound too?

If you have a suspected tear to a muscle, ligament or a tendon issue in any joints, apart for the back, then this is a great place to start. You will gain a clear diagnosis from the scan and physio assessment to get you started on the correct pathway immediately

Which option should I choose?

If you have a long-term, complex, or recurring condition, or have seen multiple practitioners without lasting improvement, the Clinical Director may be the best choice. If your injury or pain is more recent or straightforward, a Senior Physiotherapist will still provide excellent, evidence-based care.

Will my treatment plan be different depending on who I see?

Your treatment will always be tailored to you, regardless of who you see. Both the Clinical Director and Standard Physiotherapists work to the same high standards, using a personalised approach to help you achieve your goals.

What is Pain with Intimacy?

Pain during sexual intercourse (medically referred to as dyspareunia) can occur due to a range of physical and hormonal factors. Common contributors include overactive (or tense) pelvic floor muscles, hormonal fluctuations, infections, or conditions such as vulvodynia and vaginismus.

The discomfort we feel can vary. You may feel sharp pains, burning sensations, aching, often deep within the pelvis. This can understandably affect intimacy, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.

How We Can Support You

Our women’s health clinicians provide respectful, compassionate care focused on identifying and addressing the underlying cause of pain. Your treatment plan may include:

							
										A thorough assessment to understand the source of discomfort
									
										Pelvic floor physiotherapy, muscle relaxation techniques, and medical management where appropriate
									
										Support for sexual wellbeing, including guidance for partners when helpful
									
										Practical strategies to help you return to comfortable, pain-free intimacy

All care is tailored to your individual needs, with the aim of restoring comfort, confidence, and enjoyment in your sexual health.
