Our Treatment Approach

At Deoora & Lenz Osteopaths, our women’s pelvic health care is evidence-based, personalised, and centred around you.

Thorough Assessment & Personalised Plan

Your first appointment focuses on understanding your history, symptoms, and goals (such as childbirth, menstrual health, surgery, exercise, or pain patterns). We carry out a gentle physical assessment of posture, spine, hips, and pelvis.

Pelvic floor assessment is always optional and only done with your consent. We explain findings clearly and agree on a tailored treatment plan, which may include hands-on treatment, home exercises, and lifestyle guidance.

Many women benefit from 4–6 sessions, though this varies depending on individual needs.​

Each session may include a combination of gentle techniques such as:

• Soft tissue & myofascial release to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation

• Joint mobilisation to restore movement in the spine, pelvis, and hips

• Visceral osteopathy to improve mobility of pelvic and abdominal organs

• Cranial or sacral techniques to calm the nervous system and reduce stress-related tension

Treatments are always adapted to your comfort and condition.​

Pelvic health often requires learning how to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor correctly. We guide you through tailored exercises, breathing techniques, and movement strategies, ensuring you know how to apply them safely in daily life.

With consistent guidance over a few months, many women experience significant symptom improvement. ​

We support your recovery with practical advice on posture, lifting, bladder and bowel habits, work ergonomics, and gentle strengthening or stretching exercises. These small changes help protect your pelvic floor and prevent future issues.​

If additional support is required, we can guide you towards medical specialists, or work alongside your GP or consultant (with your consent). Osteopathy complement, not replaces medical care.​

I have been treated by Christina Lenz for a variety of health issues since 2023. She has helped me cope with old and historic injuries sustained as an athlete in my teenage years and as a national league basketball player during the late 70s/80s. She is currently treating me following a life-threatening respiratory illness which left me hospitalized for two and a half weeks during which time I was in an induced coma and nil by mouth. Thanks to Christina’s caring and compassionate treatment I am well on the road to recovery. If you need osteopathic treatment – she is the practitioner to go to – I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Knowledgeable, helpful, sympathetic and supportive. I have a stiff and weak right side, and a shoulder impingement after having a stroke and Christina knows what to do safely and comfortably and I am very grateful indeed.

Christina Lenz is a wonderful osteopath. She was recommended by a close friend. Her treatments were extremely helpful for my physical and mental health. Her practical suggestions for things I can do at home also proved positive. I found her respectful and compassionate, and felt I could trust her.

I cant recommend Christina Lenz more highly. I am in my late 70s and have been to her for treatments around 6 times for different problems, the latest from quite a bad fall onto my back. I have been given appointments quite quickly and following my last treatment my back miraculously got better over the following 3 or 4 days. Christina is very welcoming and kind and is clearly extremely experienced. She is very gentle when working on my body, I have never experienced any pain when with her. She has children herself and I wouldn't hesitate in taking children of any age to her. As I said, I can't recommend her more highly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need to see improvement?

Treatment duration varies by individual and condition severity. Most patients notice improvements within the first few weeks of treatment.

Typical timeline:

  • Pelvic floor therapy usually lasts 6-12 weeks with sessions once or twice weekly
  • 4-6 sessions provide a solid foundation when combined with home exercises
  • For chronic conditions like endometriosis or pelvic pain, a median of 6 weekly sessions is effective

Your osteopath will create a personalized plan based on your specific condition, response to treatment, and health goals. Some patients benefit from intensive short-term care, while others prefer ongoing maintenance for long-term wellness.

Yes, osteopathy is safe and beneficial for women at all life stages when provided by trained practitioners.

During pregnancy:

  • Osteopathy is completely safe for pregnant mothers when performed by experienced, professional osteopaths who tailor treatment to specific needs and pregnancy stage 
  • Research shows osteopathic techniques are effective and safe for managing pelvic and spinal pain in the lumbosacral area during pregnancy 
  • Helps with back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica

During menopause:

  • Osteopaths manage menopause symptoms like joint stiffness through techniques that improve overall mobility and circulation
  • Treatment helps regulate menstrual discomfort and supports women through hormonal changes by enhancing pelvic alignment and circulation
  • Addresses joint pain, pelvic floor changes, and postural issues

Osteopaths use gentle, appropriate techniques suited to your stage of life.

Incontinence has multiple causes beyond simple weakness—osteopathy addresses all contributing factors.

Common causes of leakage:

  • Poor pelvic floor control can result from coordination issues, muscles not working together properly, fatigue, or an overactive pelvic floor—not just weakness
  • Misalignment in pelvis or spine creating pressure
  • Breathing pattern dysfunction
  • Overly tight (not weak) pelvic floor muscles

How osteopathy helps:

  • Examines your entire musculoskeletal system
  • Assesses spine alignment, hip mobility, and core coordination
  • Releases tension or strengthens muscles as needed
  • Addresses breathing patterns and posture
  • Creates personalized treatment beyond standard exercises

Your osteopath determines whether you need strengthening, relaxation techniques, or structural corrections for your specific situation.

It’s never too late to address pelvic health concerns, regardless of how long you’ve had symptoms.

The evidence:

  • Research shows osteopathy helps patients whose symptoms have persisted anywhere from one month to 20 years 
  • Pelvic floor issues remain present in women years beyond childbirth.

What to expect:

  • Your body retains the capacity to adapt and heal with proper support
  • Long-standing issues may require more time but still show improvement
  • Many patients report significant gains in comfort, function, and quality of life
  • Starting with a thorough assessment creates a realistic, personalized treatment plan

The key is taking that first step. Many women report wishing they’d sought help sooner, but beginning at any point can make a meaningful difference to your wellbeing.
