How Central Shockwave Therapy Clinic in Coventry can help

Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common issue for women and can lead to pelvic pain, tight muscles, discomfort during intimacy and difficulty relaxing the pelvic floor. At Central Shockwave Therapy Clinic, 12 Park Road, Coventry, we offer a gentle and modern approach to women’s pelvic health using highly targeted shockwave therapy. Many women experience positive results, often sooner than they expected.

What pelvic floor dysfunction is

Pelvic floor dysfunction happens when the pelvic muscles become tight, sore or unable to relax properly. This can lead to a range of symptoms including:

• pelvic pain
• pain during intercourse
• difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel
• postpartum muscle tension
• vulvodynia or vestibulodynia
• chronic pelvic floor muscle spasm

If not treated, the tension often builds over time and begins to affect quality of life.

Why shockwave therapy works for pelvic floor issues

Shockwave therapy uses focused acoustic pulses to support healing and improve tissue function. In pelvic floor treatment, it is gentle, precise and designed to reduce irritation and restore normal muscle activity.

How shockwave supports recovery

• reduces muscle tension so the pelvic floor can relax
• improves local blood flow for better healing
• breaks down tight trigger points
• reduces nerve sensitivity around the vulva and perineum
• helps soften scar tissue after childbirth

Many women notice early improvements, and those improvements usually continue session by session.

what to expect at your first appointment at central shockwave therapy Coventry

A calm and comfortable start

Your first session is relaxed and designed to put you at ease. The clinician will:

• discuss your symptoms
• review relevant history
• explain how pelvic shockwave therapy works
• answer your questions

An assessment built around you

If helpful, a gentle external assessment may be carried out. Internal assessment is only ever done with your full consent, and many clients choose to begin with external work only.

Your first shockwave session

If appropriate, the first treatment can take place during the same visit. Sessions usually:

• last around 10 to 15 minutes
• involve light tapping sensations
• are non-invasive
• begin to ease tension and sensitivity

Most women leave feeling encouraged and more comfortable.

How many sessions you may need

Every case is different, but most women achieve the best results with a short series of treatments.

Typical treatment plan:

• 4 to 6 weekly sessions
• noticeable changes often after 2 to 3 sessions
• occasional maintenance sessions for longer term conditions

This approach helps achieve steady, lasting improvement.

The results many women experience

Clients commonly report:

• reduced pelvic pain
• easier pelvic muscle relaxation
• improved comfort during intimacy
• decreased burning or sensitivity
• better bladder and bowel function
• greater confidence and comfort day to day

Shockwave therapy has become a popular choice in Coventry for women seeking effective, non-invasive pelvic floor treatment.
