Gynae Surgery

Book in with us

Pelvic and abdominal surgery can be life-changing — physically, emotionally, and functionally.

Whether you’re preparing for surgery or recovering afterwards, specialist pelvic health physiotherapy can help you rebuild strength, restore confidence, and move forward with ease.

At The Pelvic Health Company Sheffield, we support people through prehab, acute recovery, and ongoing rehabilitation after a wide range of gynaecological and abdominal surgeries. Our approach is never one-size-fits-all. Your body, your surgery, and your goals are unique — your rehab should be too.

Types of Surgery We Support

We work with people recovering from a variety of pelvic and abdominal procedures, including:

• Hysterectomy

• Oophorectomy

• Prolapse Repair

• Myomectomy

• Endometriosis Surgery (Excision or Ablation)

• Abdominal Surgery for Hernia or Diastasis Repair and Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tucks). 

Why Pelvic Health Physio Matters After Surgery

If you were having a knee replacement, you would expect to strengthen, prepare, and invest in your recovery. Gynaecological and abdominal surgery deserve the same level of investment.

Many people leave hospital unsure:

  • what they can or can’t do

  • when or what is safe to lift

  • how to return to exercise

  • how to rebuild core strength

  • how to manage bladder or bowel changes

  • how to support scar healing

  • how to move without fear

Pelvic health physiotherapy bridges this gap. We work with your surgical guidelines, meet you exactly where you are, and help you rebuild strength, mobility, and confidence at a pace that feels right for you.

How Surgery Can Affect Your Body

It’s normal to experience changes after pelvic or abdominal surgery, including:

  • pelvic floor weakness or overactivity

  • bladder urgency, frequency, or leaking

  • bowel changes or difficulty emptying like constipation

  • abdominal tightness, bloating, or discomfort

  • reduced core strength

  • fear of movement or lifting

  • scar sensitivity or restricted mobility

  • back, hip, or pelvic pain

  • fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance

These symptoms can feel surprising or overwhelming — but they are common, treatable, and not something you need to navigate alone.

How We Help:

Why Choose The Pelvic Health Company Sheffield

Our service combines:

  • specialist pelvic health physiotherapy

  • extensive experience in Pilates, strength & conditioning, and postoperative rehab

  • wholebody assessment

  • personalised treatment plans

  • collaborative care with local consultants

  • compassionate support throughout your journey

We meet you at your current stage — whether that’s prehab, early recovery, or longterm rehabilitation — and help you move forward with confidence.

  • Prehab (Before Surgery)

    We help you prepare your body and mind for surgery by improving:

    • pelvic floor coordination, technique and strengthening as needed. 

    • breathing and diaphragm function

    • core activation and loading

    • mobility and strength for your whole body

    • confidence and understanding of what to expect

    Prehab can improve recovery outcomes and reduce postoperative complications. Most importantly it can help you feel ready, and invested in your journey ahead. 

  • We support you through the early healing phase with:

    • gentle movement strategies

    • scar care and tissue support

    • breathing practices to reduce discomfort and aid early core training

    • pelvic floor downtraining or activation (depending on your needs)

    • guidance on lifting, walking, and daily activities

    • reassurance and confidence building to move. 

    This stage is about healing well, moving safely, and feeling supported.

  • As healing progresses, we help you:

    • rebuild core and pelvic floor strength

    • return to exercise, running, lifting, or sport

    • improve mobility and load tolerance

    • address back, hip, or pelvic pain

    • restore fullbody confidence

    Our goal is for you to move with confidence and live with ease.

  • We have an established history of working collaboratively with local Sheffield consultants and surgical teams. This means your rehab is aligned with:

    • your surgeon’s guidelines

    • your procedure

    • your healing timeline

    • your personal goals

    Women choose our service because of our reputation for clear communication, clinical expertise, and supportive, empowering care.

  • Surgery can bring relief, but it can also bring uncertainty. Many people describe feeling:

    • unsure what movements are safe

    • worried about damaging their repair or delaying healing

    • disconnected from their core

    • anxious about returning to exercise

    • frustrated by progress seeming slow

    • overwhelmed by unexpected symptoms

    Pelvic health physiotherapy provides reassurance, clarity, and a structured plan that helps you feel in control of your recovery.
