At The Physiotherapy Clinics, we understand that Women’s Health concerns can feel personal and sensitive. Our aim is to ensure you feel comfortable, respected and fully informed at every stage of your care.
Your Privacy
Your personal and medical information is kept secure and confidential in line with UK data protection legislation and professional healthcare standards. Your information will only be shared with healthcare professionals directly involved in your care. Our full Privacy Policy is available on our website.
Your Assessment
Your appointment will be carried out by a qualified Women’s Health Physiotherapist who will explain the process and answer any questions before starting.
The assessment will include a discussion about your symptoms and concerns. A physical examination may be recommended to help form an accurate diagnosis.
- All examinations will be clearly explained beforehand
- Your consent will be obtained before any assessment is carried out
- You may decline or stop any part of the assessment at any time
Occasionally, you may experience mild discomfort or a temporary increase in symptoms following assessment. Please let your physiotherapist know immediately if anything feels uncomfortable.
Comfort and Dignity
Your comfort, dignity and privacy are our priority. You may be asked to undress from the waist down so an appropriate examination can be carried out. If an internal examination is recommended, this will be fully explained and will only proceed with your
explicit consent. You will be covered throughout, given privacy to change, and you can stop at any time.
Please ask your physiotherapist if you have any questions at any time.
Your Treatment Plan
Following your assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss their findings and agree a personalised treatment plan with you. This may include:
- Advice and education
- Individual exercises or self-management strategies
- Hands-on treatment, where appropriate
Some treatments may cause temporary soreness or, occasionally, mild bruising. For certain specialised treatments, additional written consent may be required.
Chaperones
You are welcome to bring a chaperone to your appointment. Please let our reception team know in advance so this can be arranged. Patients under 18 must attend with a responsible adult.
Quality and Clinical Standards
To maintain the highest standards of care, patient records may be reviewed as part of routine clinical audit. These reviews are confidential, and records are not copied, removed or used for any other purpose.
