La Femme Physio

Fantastic experience: Claire provided an exceptional, personalised postpartum check-up at a time when I really needed compassionate care. She was incredibly professional and kindly came to my home, which made such a difference during my recovery. She carried out a thorough assessment, including my pelvic floor, breathing, balance, and my stitches following my delivery. Based on her findings, she created a tailored programme of exercises to help strengthen the areas that needed the most support. Claire’s expertise was matched by her kindness and empathy. She made me feel comfortable, listened to my concerns, and treated me with genuine compassion throughout. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, professional postpartum care.

Fantastic experience: I have felt such positive changes in my body since meeting with Claire. Before starting mummy mot, I had so many concerns and honestly didn’t know what was safe or unsafe to do postpartum. I also wasn't sure what condition my body was in as the NHS 8 week check was nothing like I expected and very brief. Claire offers a full body mot post birth which is very extensive. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Thanks to her, I now feel so much more confident in my body post C-section and understand what I need to do to strengthen and progress my body gradually. She never pushes unnecessary appointments, which I know sadly some other mums have experienced elsewhere, and she is always so honest and supportive about what you actually need. She also offers home visits, which makes everything so much easier, and is happy to answer questions via WhatsApp if needed. Most importantly, Claire is such a lovely and comforting person to be around. Pregnancy or postpartum appointments can feel very personal, especially if you’re shy, but she completely puts you at ease and makes everything feel so comfortable and never awkward. I couldn’t recommend her more, 10/10! If you are looking for a mummy mot then look no further, I couldn't imagine anyone being better at this job.

Fantastic experience: Claire made recovering from pregnancy and childbirth a really positive and empowering experience. I am back running again feeling strong and confident - and kinder and more patient with myself than had I returned to exercise without her guidance. Claire is very knowledgeable, kind and generous with her time. Highly recommend and completely worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt this is the best money that I have spent on anything since having children. Claire came highly recommended by other professionals but exceeded all my expectations. From the very first session her substantial knowledge was delivered in a way that was empathetic, non-judgemental and kind and since then she has worked with me to build back up to exercising in the way that I used to. Claire even managed to alleviate lower back pain that I have had for years but hadn't realised were related to my pelvic floor! I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient of Claire for the past 6 months. She’s understanding, empathetic and has an incredible medical knowledge and skill base around hysterectomies and scar therapy. I’d definitely recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I saw Claire for an MOT and she was absolutely fantastic. So friendly, making me feel at ease right away as well as being super thorough. I didn’t feel rushed at all and she did such an in depth examination. I left with all the info I needed and wish I had sooner! Highly recommend Claire x

Fantastic experience: All of these 5 star reviews say it all! I saw Claire yesterday for a pregnancy MOT (at 24 weeks pregnant) and it's been instantly game-changing for my confidence in knowing how to take care of myself in pregnancy, understanding my body, and feeling comfortable continuing with my fitness programme. I couldn't recommend Claire more highly and would suggest this for any pregnant woman; the personalised advice made such a difference for me. Also thank you to Marcelle who fitted in my appointment at short notice on a cancellation!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Claire enough! I have seen her before and after the birth of my son and have seen the positive results of her advice both for preparing my body to birth and after to recover from it. She made plans according to my physical condition but also taking into account the fact I had to navigate this new life as a mum. Her holistic approach is really what made the difference as there was not just physical issues to address but also hormone imbalances, sleep deprivation, etc.. her expert knowledge of the female body is gold! Now I have managed to get back stronger than I was before being pregnant and can start running again without pain! Thank you for your help in getting me back into form Claire, it would not have been done as well and quickly without you

Fantastic experience: I will be forever grateful to Claire for her kindness, understanding, patience and professional help with my pelvic pains after pregnancy/birth. I've been at La Femme Physio both for a mum MOT and for regular checkups and my experience has been outstanding. Claire is so knowledgeable of the female body and it's only thanks to her that I am now pain-free and stronger than ever before. I will trust Claire to guide me throughout my second pregnancy -when the time comes ;) I'd recommend any woman to book an appointment at La Femme Physio. Meri

Fantastic experience: I started coming to Claire 3 months ago with a lot of constant pelvic pain that developed after having my daughter via a caesarean birth 3 years ago. I struggled to walk without limping and found it very difficult to get back in shape whilst being in so much pain. After over a year of dealing with doctors and still not getting to the bottom of it, I finally came across ‘Pelvic Health Physios’. Claire assessed what was wrong immediately and after only 7 sessions over 3 months the pain has descreased significantly - I expect to not have it at all with a little more time. Claire did a mixture of physio, breathing techniques, scar massage, acupuncture and cupping. I couldn’t imagine not being in pain again and am so very grateful for everything she has done! Even if you are not in pain, seeing a physio like Claire after having a baby is an invaluable thing to do!

Fantastic experience: Claire is brilliant - I don't know how I would have got through the postpartum phase without her! Her skills and knowledge are incredible and she really helped me feel better, stronger and more confident going from a section to regular weight training. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was so glad that I visited Claire at La Femme Physio. Claire gave me confidence and the reassurance that I was headed in the right direction with my recovery. My only regret is that I didn’t visit sooner post labour or prior to giving birth.

Fantastic experience: Claire was so incredibly supportive and the exercises given were realistic and have made a huge difference.

Fantastic experience: I saw Claire for pregnancy related back pain and she was fantastic. I had four treatments, I had hands on manual therapy and was given exercises and lots of advice. My pain was much improved. Couldn’t recommend enough. Claire is also a lovely person as well as a brilliant women’s health physio.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Claire for four months now, and she’s been truly wonderful. I had a sizeable diastasis recti when starting, that I never thought would truly disappear. We started with just one exercise, but built on that with each appointment. I’m now doing a whole mini workout with dumbbells. My progress is testament to Claire’s expertise, tailoring the exercises to only those that work for me/my body. I cannot recommend Claire highly enough. She is warm, attentive and knowledgeable. Her encouragement has also been a huge part in my progress. Thank you so much Claire!

Fantastic experience: I wasn’t previously aware that this support for new mother’s existed and it is such vital care. Claire has helped me manage and significantly release the scar tissue from my C-section which has helped it heal so much more cleanly and smoothly. Having a medical specialist as gentle and understanding as Claire ensuring that my recovery is on track has been so reassuring and I’m so pleased with the way the scar has healed. I would highly recommend Claire.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Claire highly enough. I saw her after my second pregnancy with some pelvic floor concerns. She was extremely thorough with her assessment and made me feel so comfortable and completely at ease. Claire is so knowledgeable, kind and supportive and I finally felt listened to and understood. Claire has given me my confidence to exercise back and I would urge anyone to see her!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Claire both during and post pregnancy. She has been absolutely fantastic. She has made me feel so comfortable and at ease during examinations and listened to my concerns around symptoms. She takes time to explain what she is looking for and what potential issues are. She has tailored her advice and approach for me and known when to push me to do more vs when to be more cautious. She has given me the knowledge and confidence to return to exercising and progress what I can do without making my symptoms worse. Thank you Claire!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Claire highly enough and regularly tell any woman I know to go and see her! Particularly if they are going to or have had a baby. I saw Claire during and after pregnancy and even after some terrible birth injuries and horrendous back pain, she has helped me back to dancing, running and just existing with so much more ease, confidence and strength. She particularly helped with some tight and sore scar tissue. Claire is instantly calming and incredibly knowledgeable, you feel comfortable and supported to follow a plan to reach your goals. She is a genuine gem and I couldn’t have got through postpartum without her. Solid 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Booked a ‘Mummy MOT’ with Claire and would HIGHLY recommend for all new mums! Had a very comprehensive assessment with follow up exercises for post-birth. Cannot recommend a post-natal check enough to anyone who has recently given birth and Claire was lovely and really put me at ease.

Fantastic experience: Claire is an amazing physio. I had an postnatal MOT with Claire and she did a very comprehensive assessment. We had follow up appointments after to check on my progress. She is very knowledgeable, explains the exercises and your body physiology with details and clarity. She gave me an exercise program that would help me achieve my health goal after pregnancy. It is not easy to find professionals that are so knowledgeable and respectful as Claire.

Fantastic experience: Claire is amazing, she makes you feel so comfortable and at ease, dont know what i would of done without her. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Claire is brilliant! So knowledgeable and kind… her advice and reassurance is just what every new mum needs. 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: After a vaginal birth and forceps delivery I was feeling quite low about my non existent pelvic floor and like I wouldn’t ever feel like myself again. My 6-week GP check left me feeling quite lonely and lost as I was told to ‘just Google it’. I didn’t know that a women’s health physio existed and I’m so pleased that I came across Claire via Instagram and booked the postnatal MOT. I felt so seen and listened to, and so reassured by the end of it, leaving with lots of really interesting knowledge and the confidence to embark on an structured plan to restore my pelvic floor and core muscles, so that I can get back to exercising without worry of prolapse or diastasis recti. Now I’ve had a baby I’m shocked by how little I knew about my own anatomy and physiology, and how little the hospital educated me about how to rehab my body after the birth. If you’re worried about anything I highly recommend a session - Claire is so kind and super professional and knowledgeable, I’m confident I can enjoy my mat leave now and focus on carrying my ever-heavier baby rather than the weight of my anxiety.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend La Femme Physio. From my first visit I was treated with such care and understanding. I’m a year into treatment and I feel so much better. After a complicated birth I was left with much discomfort and was told by my doctor that I wouldnt get seen or get a referral for a year post-partum. I had to find help and with La Femme I was in the best hands. I have a good understanding now of what my issue is and was even taught how to work on it myself between appointments. I can’t thank La Femme enough for helping me get back to myself.

Fantastic experience: I saw Claire during my pregnancy and for rehab after my c-section to get me back into exercising post-pregnancy. Her advice was invaluable. I now feel back to my old self. I have just done my first 5k post-natal - no pelvic floor issues! I highly recommend a session just on the scar as well. I will definitely be going back to Claire if I have another baby. Cannot thank you enough Claire.

Fantastic experience: Claire is extremely helpful and professional, would highly recommend to anyone looking for guidance and support with post natal recovery.

Fantastic experience: I went to Claire after having my baby and couldn’t recommend her enough. She helped me build back my confidence post pregnancy. Claire guided me through a series of exercises which made me feel stronger to get back to doing hiit. She’s absolutely fantastic!

Fantastic experience: I visited Claire following the birth of my second daughter and I can't recommend her highly enough. Following a difficult birth, Claire gave me the tools to strengthen my pelvic floor and the confidence that I was doing the exercises correctly. Claire is very lovely and put me straight at ease. My sessions with Claire were invaluable and I would encourage any new mum to visit her.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Claire highly enough. I was aware how important physio was post birth and keen to get back to fitness in the safest and most effective way possible but didn't feel I was given any information how to when I left hospital. Thankfully I found Claire who has so clearly explained the recovery process, tailored the rehabilitation to my individual goals and post birth needs - and given me such confidence in regaining my fitness and strength. Thank you so much Claire!

Fantastic experience: I first met Claire after giving birth to my eldest son. The exercises Claire gave me helped reverse damage and regain my strength, both physically and mentally. When I had my second baby, I therefore knew where to go, and I've kept recommending Claire to all the new mums I know. I cannot describe the benefits the exercises gave me or how much it speeded up the healing process. The fact that you need bespoke physio to recover fully from childbirth isn't widely talked about, and I am so grateful I by chance came by Claire as otherwise I would have no doubt suffered in silence. Thank you again Claire from the bottom of my heart!

Fantastic experience: Claire has changed my life around. 3 years after having a very large boy, I still had pelvic pain, and after a few sessions with Claire I can walk and exercise pain free. I’d never thought I would look forward to seeing a Womens health physio, but spending time with Claire is such a pleasure, Im sad I don’t have an excuse to go and see her any more. I really can’t recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Claire highly enough! I had an antenatal physio check up and have since been seeing Claire on a monthly basis post having a C-section. She has been instrumental in my quick recovery and helped me get back to exercise with confidence but in a safe way that suited me. She makes you feel relaxed and listened to, adjusting her approach to suit you. I look forward to our appointments every time. I never hesitate to recommend her to those around me with half of my Bump and Baby group having seen Claire post giving birth!

Fantastic experience: Claire is a superwoman. After having my first baby a few months ago I was suffering with pelvic pain that made even walking incredibly painful. Claire solved this after one session, single-handedly improving the quality of my life and allowing me to focus on enjoying my baby. I also had the mummy MOT which gave me the tools and knowledge to heal my body properly post-birth, a must have for any new mum which is sadly missing from the NHS. I can’t recommend Claire enough, my only regret is that I didn’t start working with her during pregnancy.

Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Claire enough. I feel she literally has changed my life and improved my mental health as well as my body. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, completely thorough and totally supportive. At a point in my life where I felt my GP did not want to help or knew how to, I needed to speak to someone with more knowledge of prolapse. After speaking to Claire on the phone initially I knew that straight away she understood and wanted to help. Her experience clearly shows and I felt she genuinely wanted to support me and provide me with the tools to move forward. I have recommended Claire to all my friends regardless of any issues because women’s health, specifically pelvic health, does not get the attention it needs from busy GPs. Claire has totally changed my mindset and I am so grateful to have a better, stronger pelvic floor!

Fantastic experience: I saw Claire for a pregnancy MOT as I have been experiencing some discomfort in my pelvic area and wanted to make sure I'm doing my pelvic floor exercises correctly, and I am so glad I booked the appointment! Claire was so professional and really put me at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and gave me loads of advice and resources to look at following the appointment. I feel reassured now and much more confident about things. She visited me at home and was very careful regarding Covid 19 guidelines and I felt reassured that she puts her patients safety and wellbeing first. I would highly recommend the pregnancy MOT with Claire if you're pregnant and have any worries about your pelvic floor health.

Fantastic experience: I’ve always been a keen runner and was keen to get back to it after having my daughter, I had initially started to try and run at about 2 months postpartum (which I now realise is far too early) and had felt a dragging sensation down below. This left me feeling despondent and worried I’d never be able to get back to running again. I had read about the Mummy MOT which is recommended post child birth and contacted Claire for my first appointment. My assessment was very comprehensive and reassuring. Claire gave me some great general advice, along with specific exercises for my pelvic floor and abdomen as I had abdominal diastasis, along with some strengthening exercises to prepare me for running again. She was very encouraging and felt I would be able to my previous level of fitness. I went onto have further follow up appointments via video consultation (due to COVID, but actually was a great way for an appointment especially with a young baby and was able to cover the same as face to face) these continued to focus on strengthening training and a gradual return to running. I'm now almost 7 months post partum and feel great. I feel stronger and am able to run for 30 minutes without symptoms. I generally feel that women’s physical and pelvic health is very much neglected post childbirth, I have been recommending Claire and the mummy MOT to all of my friends, I feel it’s a must for anyone post child birth whether they are keen on exercise or not.

Fantastic experience: I had a Mummy MOT with Claire via video consultation at 5 weeks post partum. I had some concern regarding my pelvic floor and returning to exercise. I was initially unsure if the video consultation would be sufficient to assess and treat me. However, during the video consultation Claire took a detailed history and was very thorough in understanding my concerns and what I wanted to achieve. She was able to assess my posture, breathing, stability, functional movement, diastasis recti and my ability to activate pelvic floor. She gave me a selection of exercise targeted at what she found in the assessment and some brilliant advice for healing and wellbeing during the post partum period. The only thing I feel would be different from a face to face appointment is the assessment of the pelvic floor internally, however with the instruction and exercises we went through during the consultation I feel like I was able to activate and relax my pelvic floor muscles much better than before. I would definitely recommend a video Mummy Mot to anyone post partum at the moment as it has given me reassurance and a great programme of exercises to start to get my body ready for running/ weights and HITT again. Thank you Claire

Fantastic experience: I worked with Claire for several months following the birth of my daughter, and I can highly recommend her services. She came to my own home, and made me feel totally comfortable at each appointment. I was really anxious about my poor pelvic floor condition and symptoms after birth, but Claire worked diligently to give me the exercises I needed to regain strength. I feel great having taken control and achieved my goals, and that’s all thanks to Claire!

Fantastic experience: Claire came to see me at my home for my post natal Mummy MOT. It was incredibly informative and it was really good to know where my body was at before thinking about getting into exercise again. Claire did several tests to see what would work best for ME.... as what works for one lady, may not work for another and vice versa. Claire is very friendly, knowledgeable and I felt at ease with her instantly. Thank you so much .... I now have the tools to start strengthening and preventing problems later on in life.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Claire after the birth of my first child from 6 weeks to 6 months. She came to me in my own home and was completely understanding what life is like with a baby. She's professional, knowledgeable and puts you at ease instantly. We worked on pelvic floor, perennial scar massage, tummy separation and readying me to return to running. All of which we achieved! I can't recommend her highly enough. She really cares about her patients and is with you however short or long your recovery.

Fantastic experience: Claire came to my home to help me with some pelvic pain I'd been experiencing during my third trimester and I would highly recommend her services! Claire knew exactly what to do and after a full, and extremely thorough examination, gave me a number of daily exercises to carry out in order manage the pain and stop it before getting any worse. I have been doing these religiously and my pain has completely subsided! She also assessed my pelvic floor and advised on the best ways to continuing strengthening this area.I can't thank her enough! Claire is not only extremely professional, but a lovely and caring person who puts you at ease immediately. I will definitely be booking my post baby MOT with Claire!

Fantastic experience: When I had my son 5 years ago people rarely talked about pelvic floor recovery. I decided to make an appointment with Claire because I wanted a professional assessment of my pelvic floor to prevent any problems in the future. Claire was absolutely fantastic. She explained everything so clearly and I felt totally at ease during the assessment. I really wish I had known about mummy MOTs a few years ago. Working with a trained women's health physiotherapist offers reassurance and a personalised plan suitable to your needs. Thank you Claire x

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t not recommend Claire more. I saw her at 27 weeks pregnant and she really helped me connect with my pelvic floor and use it correctly whilst breathing, especially during exercise. She made me feel comfortable, confident and able to carry on doing something I enjoy without being worried that I’m doing myself any damage. She gave me some really good advice on pregnancy and what to expect postnatally too. I’m definitely going to be booking in for a mummy MOT after the baby is here.

Fantastic experience: Claire visited me at home about 2 weeks after I’d had my baby. She was absolutely brilliant and resolved the problem I had quickly. I really can’t recommend her highly enough

Fantastic experience: I honestly feel like a changed woman after having seen Claire - I think all Mums should book themselves in for a session with her (considering the havoc that pregnancy and birth wreaks on our bodies!). We shouldn't think that we have to just live and accept the after effects of having our babies when there is so much we can do to fix the issues, with the right help! Claire explained my diagnosis and the physiology behind my conditions in a way that totally made total sense, and the exercises and advice that she prescribed feels manageable and also rewarding - I noticed a difference even during our session. She left me with a page of personalised notes to remember to follow, and even came to my home for our session, which was an added convenience. In addition, she offered to carry out a pelvic floor exam (my issue was to do with my tummy muscle separation), which I was so grateful for, as I think most of us wonder what things are like 'down there' after the kids, even if you are lucky enough not to have any noticeable issues postpartum - it's really not something we should leave to chance, and Claire puts you totally at ease with her lovely manner and total professionalism. I highly recommend her on every level!

Fantastic experience: Claire is a fantastic, knowledgeable and reassuring physiotherapist. I saw her for a prenatal check and her approach was thorough and containing with lots of helpful advice alongside a pelvic floor assessment and general check in at 35 weeks pregnant. She provided helpful advice and is contactable between appointments should i have any worries or questions. I couldn't recommend her more highly and i'll definately be booking a post natal MOT in.

Fantastic experience: Claire was incredibly friendly and professional making me feel instantly at ease. I came away from the appointment feeling informed and confident about my treatment plan.

Fantastic experience: My Mummy MOT with Claire was brilliant and just what I needed 6 weeks after having my Son. Claire was extremely knowledgeable and provided me with exercises that i could start immediately to enable me to get back to the gym and achieve my running goals. The session with Claire reassured me and gave me confidence to start training again post-partum. I have used the techniques Claire showed me regularly and can already see the benefit. I would highly recommend any new mum to have a session with Claire.

Fantastic experience: Having been shocked at the incredibly laid back nature of my 6 week postpartum GP appointment, I decided to book a Mummy MOT. Claire came out to my house (on a Sunday!) which was incredibly convenient for me with my little one. She made me feel instantly comfortable and the session itself was incredibly thorough. It left me feeling confident, reassured and importantly, informed about what I should and shouldn't be doing to aid my recovery post birth. I would recommend the Mummy MOT to anyone - it should be a must for anyone who is pregnant or has given birth!

Fantastic experience: Claire was really knowledgable and reassuring when she assessed me after my pregnancy. Provided me with great information and exercises I could do at home. Clearly knows her stuff as well as being a lovely friendly lady. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Fantastic experience: Clare is amazing! She came to my house for a womens health check up -I have three kids and the youngest is 2 1/2 and I just didn't feel like my pelvic floor was quite right. Nothing major, I just don't want to find I have problem later in life! Clare explained everything really clearly, gave me exercises that were specific to me and is so professional and knowledgeable. I really really wish this was available for ALL women and I WISH I had done this after baby number one. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Claire is an amazing physio. She helped me manage & treat PGP when I was 28 weeks pregnant, ultimately helping significantly ease symptoms so I did not suffer the condition for long & was symptom free for labour. Having a specialist physio come to your home is a game changer - Claire helped me manage treatments around a very busy work schedule & being treated at home meant I did not need to travel with an uncomfortable condition. She is very responsive, providing advice & counsel in follow up to sessions as needed. I am now seeing her for Mummy MoT support postnatally, which I cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Claire has been wonderful in helping me and my body recover post the birth of my daughter. Each session saw huge improvements. Claire gives exercises each session as homework, these were completely manageable with a new baby. I was amazed during pregnancy what my body could do, post birth I'm just as amazed at how quickly it can recover but that's only thanks to Claire's guidance.
