Alex Lambert (2:15pm - 2:45pm): Sexual Health, Pelvic Floor, & Ageing Well

Alex is the Physio Down Below, an independent pelvic health physiotherapist able to see people quickly, who tailors treatments exactly to the individual and offers a very personal and flexible service. She is aware of the growing body of evidence that informs us about how physiotherapy can alleviate, and often cure, pelvic dysfunction using conservative methods.
She believes it vital that every person has the opportunity to feel part of their solution and able to achieve their goals. She understands that there are too many people who do not feel that they understand their own bodies; who are terrified about changes which have happened due to childbirth or the menopause; too many men who feel that they are not having their symptoms taken seriously. She is very cross that women don’t get taught enough about their bodies and how to be sexually confident as there bodies evolve through their life.
As a mother she understands the huge pressures women are under to be fit, return to their pre-pregnant self, to ​try and balance work, family and herself. She understands that there will NEVER be enough time to fit everything in so we must tailor treatment and exercise programmes accordingly to each individual.
