Chartered Physiotherapy Clinic based in Gortnagarn just on the outskirts of Omagh Co.Tyrone.

We specialise in post-operative rehab e.g post road traffic accidents, post total knee/hip replacements, post ACL repair...

Treatment provided for male and female pelvic health conditions such as hypertonic pelvic floor, overactive bladder, incontinence, post prostate surgery and prolapse. We also offer the only physio-led pessary fitting service in Northern Ireland. Founder Ciara Devery created the Mama Turn after her own experiences with pelvic pain in pregnancy. Mama Turn is a brushed cotton covered sliding sheet designed to make turning in bed a doddle! Pregnancy, pelvic pain, back pain, and surgery can make turning over at night very difficult. Made with brushed cotton; it’s super soft to lie on, non-sweat (lets face it, if you’re pregnant you’re probably warm enough) and machine washable. Just pop it on top of your fitted sheet, hop in and you’re all set for a good nights sleep!

SHOULDER PAIN IS THE MOST COMMON COMPLAINT WE SEE IN CLINIC 🏋️‍♀️

The shoulder joint is the most mobile joint in the human body, allowing the arm to reach, lift, push, and rotate in almost any direction. It’s the only joint that can pretty much do a full 360!

Unfortunately all this mobility comes at the expense of stability making the shoulder more prone to injury 😫

But don’t worry we have tons of experience in treating all sources of shoulder pain. The 1st step to recovery is having a thorough assessment to identify the cause and the most appropriate treatment path 💪

PELVIC FLOOR CHAIR (HI-EMS) update: MS patient suffering from bladder urgency and urge incontinence!

18/10/2026

Pelvic girdle pain is the name given to pain and discomfort of the pelvis, p***c bone, hips or lower back during pregnancy 🤰🏻

This is due to heightened sensitivity of the pelvic tissues (ligaments and muscles) and whilst it can be very painful 😓 it’s rarely serious and normally resolves when baby is born 🤱🏼

There is lots that can be done to help and individual advice requires assessment - both Ciara and Rhea can advise you on the right course of action for you. However here are a few general tips that can help you manage your symptoms 😊

🌟 Footwear is SO important - wear well cushioned shoes and avoid very flat or high heels.

🌟 Avoid activities where you are standing on one leg - put on trousers, shoes and socks sitting down, avoid lunges.

🌟 Keep knees together turning in bed, getting in and out of car, getup and down from floor.

🌟 Take shorter steps when out walking - it’s important to try and keep active!

🌟 Avoid sitting with legs crossed or on very low seats/ on floor.

🌟 If stairs are a problem climb up sideways or lead with least painful leg.

🌟 Support belts are helpful in some instances - seek advice before buying.

🌟 Mama Turn is a product designed specifically to help women with pelvic girdle pain turn in bed at night - check it out Easi Turn by Active Physio

BEWARE the false urges!!

Does running a tap, boiling the kettle or putting the key in the door send you racing for the loo?? 🚰🔑🚽

These urges usually bear no relation to bladder volume and are triggered by learned associations in our brain. If we answer these urges we reinforce the behaviour and it starts to happen more and more.

Next time you get one try not to answer it! Try tightening your pelvic floor or curling your toes in your shoes to suppress the urge and distract yourself. Over the course of a few weeks you should see the urges subside 😊

If bladder urge is taking over your life see your local Pelvic Health Physiotherapist for further help and advice.

Recovering from a total hip replacement takes time, patience, and the right support.

Physiotherapy can help you rebuild strength, confidence, and comfortable movement at a pace that’s appropriate for you.

Every recovery is different, so follow your surgeon’s and physiotherapist’s guidance throughout your rehabilitation.

Thank you so much to Omagh Healthy Living for inviting me to be this week’s guest speaker at their “Living Well with MS” programme.

It was fantastic to have such a receptive group and I hope you all found it beneficial 😊

Bladder and bowel issues have a profound impact on quality of life and I’m a firm believer that a little education can go a very long way ❤️

We’re delighted to share that Olive & Bee — one of our most‑recommended moisturisers for vulval dryness and irritation — is now available to purchase directly in clinic 😊

It’s gentle, natural, and a brilliant option for everyday comfort, so it made perfect sense to stock it for our patients.

Pop in anytime to pick one up 💜

Having a pessary fitted for prolapse doesn’t always mean you’ll be using it long-term. We have increasing evidence to support that pessaries are not just for symptom relief, but they can also improve prolapse stage in some cases 🙌🙌🙌 Clinically I see this all the time and this week alone I’ve had 3 patients in for review who are now progressing to using their pessary for sport only 💪💪💪

I had several patients in clinic this week who are responding really well to treatment for symptoms associated with a hypertonic pelvic floor 🤩

Some with a background of endometriosis and adenomyosis; others had overactive bladder symptom, tailbone pain and pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain.

ALL of them said that they wished they had heard of Pelvic Health physiotherapy earlier 😥

So I thought this was worth a repost!!

🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆🔆

What is a hypertonic pelvic floor?? 🤔🤔

A hypertonic pelvic floor occurs when the muscles in the pelvic floor become too tense and are unable to relax.

Many people with a tense and non-relaxing pelvic floor experience pelvic health concerns such as:

- constipation
- painful s*x
- urinary urgency and frequency
- back/hip/abdominal or pelvic pain
- slow stream of urine

Most people presume their symptoms are due to a weak pelvic floor or an issue with their back/hip or pelvis!

If any of these symptoms ring a bell 🔔 then see a Chartered Pelvic Health Physiotherapist - we can help you get on the road to recovery 😊
