Comprehensive Male and Female Pelvic Health Services in Woodley

Pelvic health concerns can feel deeply personal and, for many, quite difficult to talk about. Whether it’s bladder leakage, pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, postnatal weakness, or just a persistent sense of discomfort, these symptoms are far more common than you might think—and importantly, they are very treatable.

At 3 Way Physio, we provide a discreet, specialist-led service for both male and female pelvic health. We look after patients from across Woodley, Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell, and Henley-on-Thames in a private and professional environment. Our approach combines an advanced physiotherapy assessment with a targeted rehabilitation plan, and where we feel it would be beneficial, we can also incorporate shockwave therapy.

Our goal is to help you feel comfortable again and give you the tools to manage your health with confidence. You don’t have to just ‘live with it’; we’re here to provide the expert support you need to get things back on track.

We offer separate, specialist-led pathways:

  • Male Pelvic Health – Yves De Vos

  • Female Pelvic Health – Rupali Pawar

Appointments are confidential, structured, and clinically focused.

Pelvic health physiotherapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor and surrounding structures.

These muscles:

  • Support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs

  • Contribute to continence

  • Support sexual function

  • Assist with core stability

  • Influence lower back and hip mechanics

When pelvic muscles become weak, tight, overactive, or poorly coordinated, symptoms can develop.

Treated by: Rupali Pawar

Rupali provides specialist physiotherapy for women at all stages of life — from pregnancy to menopause and beyond.

  • Lifestyle and activity discussion

Shockwave Therapy (Male Pelvic Health)

For selected vascular erectile dysfunction cases, focused shockwave therapy may be appropriate. Shockwave therapy may:

  • Stimulate new blood vessel growth

  • Improve tissue health

  • Enhance erectile function in appropriate cases

Suitability is carefully assessed before treatment.

  • Separate male and female specialist pathways

  • Advanced shockwave therapy capability

  • Clear, structured rehabilitation plans

  • Emphasis on dignity and discretion

  • Transparent explanation of realistic outcomes

  • Collaboration with GPs and consultants when required

We understand that pelvic health symptoms can impact confidence and quality of life. Appointments are private, respectful, and clinically focused.

You can expect:

  • A calm, confidential environment

  • Time to discuss symptoms openly

  • Clear explanation of findings

  • No pressure for internal examination

  • Immediate practical advice

  • A structured plan moving forward

We prioritise comfort, consent, and clarity.

Pelvic health physiotherapy can improve continence, reduce pelvic pain, improve sexual function in selected cases, and strengthen postnatal recovery. Some conditions require ongoing management rather than a complete cure. Surgical referral may be appropriate in advanced prolapse or severe cases. We provide honest guidance on expected timelines and outcomes.

I cannot recommend Rupali highly enough. She was caring and highly incentivised me with the plan of action. Each visit saw a marked improvement with my problem. I am so grateful to her for all her help. Very professional.

Presented with a painful leg and arm which was stopping me sleeping and required mild painkillers. Viviana diagnosed the issue, recommended exercise, massage and PNT. After 6 weeks things much improved and can sleep and move without pain.
