When can I start postpartum physiotherapy?

For most uncomplicated vaginal deliveries, gentle pelvic floor and breathing work can begin within the first one to two weeks. For C-section recovery, we typically begin at six to eight weeks once your obstetrician has cleared you. Early gentle work supports better long-term pelvic floor and abdominal recovery.

Do you have female physiotherapists?

Yes. Dr. Alaa Abdelaal is our women's health and pelvic floor specialist, with Dr. Nada Mohammad delivering sessions alongside. All sessions for sensitive conditions are conducted in private treatment rooms.

Can physiotherapy help with urinary incontinence?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is the first-line, evidence-based treatment for stress urinary incontinence. It can also help mixed and urge incontinence depending on the underlying cause. Improvement timelines vary by individual, and we review progress at every visit.

Is it normal to have pelvic pain after delivery?

Some discomfort is normal in the first few weeks postpartum. Persistent pelvic pain beyond six to eight weeks should be assessed. We commonly identify and treat pelvic floor tension, coccyx pain, SI joint dysfunction, and abdominal-wall recovery issues that develop during pregnancy and delivery.

What does a first pelvic floor assessment involve?

A structured conversation about your symptoms and history, an external musculoskeletal assessment, and, with your informed consent, an internal pelvic floor assessment. You decide what is examined; we explain each step before it happens. The assessment shapes the plan.

How does insurance work?

We are insurance-friendly through a pay-and-claim model. You pay at the clinic, and we provide detailed invoices and medical reports so you can submit reimbursement claims directly to your insurer. We recommend calling your insurer before your visit to confirm women's health and pelvic floor physiotherapy coverage.

Where are you located and how do I book?

How We Approach Women's Health Physiotherapy

Pelvic Floor Assessment: A thorough internal and external assessment that identifies whether the pelvic floor is weak, overactive, or coordinating poorly. The assessment shapes the plan; there is no generic protocol.

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation: Evidence-based pelvic floor training, the first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence and a key part of prolapse and postpartum recovery.

Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques for pregnancy-related back, pelvic, and SI joint pain; postpartum musculoskeletal recovery; and persistent post-delivery soreness.

Diastasis Recti Management: Targeted core retraining and breathing-pressure work to support recovery of the abdominal wall after pregnancy.

Pelvic Pain and Vaginismus Support: Downtraining, breathing, graded exposure, and manual therapy when indicated for overactive pelvic floor patterns and pain with intimacy.

Return-to-Exercise Coaching: A graded return to running, lifting, and high-impact training after delivery, sequenced to your pelvic floor and abdominal recovery rather than to a calendar.

How We Work

Care that goes beyond the clinical room

Real tools that change how you experience your treatment, from the moment you walk in to the day you walk out pain-free.

Live Translation AI

The moment you walk in, our front desk speaks your language. So does your doctor during every consultation and session. Real-time audio translation runs in both directions with zero latency, so we effectively speak every language, not just three.

Physio Cure Connect

Your care continues between visits in Physio Cure Connect. Manage appointments, follow your recovery, review session history and doctor-published clinical updates, message your doctor securely in the Recovery Room, and download invoices on iOS, Android, or the web.

Doctor-guided home exercise plan

Your Recovery Room turns prescribed home exercises into clear, patient-specific guidance: exact dosage, step-by-step technique, start-and-finish visuals, video demonstrations, common mistakes, safety notes, and progression rules.

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Flexible payments

Pay by card, Tabby installments, Ziina, or a private payment link. Whatever works for you.

Why patients choose Dr. Alaa Abdelaal

Women's health treatment requires comfort and trust as much as it requires skill. Patients consistently describe her as patient and gentle, with the kind of reassurance that makes treatment feel safe, and for many of them, she is the doctor who restored their confidence after surgery and trauma.

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.
