Harmeet Kaur - Senior Physiotherapist and Specialist Physiotherapist in Pelvic Health
I assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions, including injuries sustained through sport, training, everyday activities or following surgery. My approach is personalised and evidence-based, incorporating manual therapy, tailored exercise prescription, Pilates-based rehabilitation and acupuncture to optimise recovery.
At Nuffield Health Wolverhampton Hospital, my role spans both musculoskeletal outpatients and inpatient orthopaedic rehabilitation, enabling me to guide patients through every stage of their recovery journey.
I am passionate about delivering holistic, patient-centred care, empowering individuals to restore function, build resilience and return to the activities that matter most to them.
Alongside this, I specialise in women’s health and pelvic health physiotherapy, supporting women with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction including symptoms of urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse and rehabilitation following pelvic floor surgery or hysterectomy.
Outside of physiotherapy, I enjoy running (10Ks and half marathons), road cycling, attending gym classes and practising Pilates.

What happens during a women’s health physiotherapy appointment?
A detailed history will be taken of the problems you are experiencing. Some of the questions may be personal to gain a full insight into the nature of your problems. You will also be allowed to ask any questions you might have.
You may be offered an internal pelvic floor examination. This is not compulsory but forms a valuable part of the assessment and enables your physiotherapist to give you individualised treatment and ensure you can activate your pelvic floor muscles correctly. Your physiotherapist will discuss the examination in detail with you during your appointment.
What does women’s health physiotherapy treatment involve?
Women’s health (pelvic floor) physiotherapy treatments are based on exercise and advice, which is tailored to you following a detailed assessment. To ensure the best outcome, you must take an active part in your rehabilitation and follow the advice of your physiotherapist.
How many appointments do I need?
This varies for each individual but most people need to attend a course of sessions over around four months.
Is there anything I need to bring to my initial women’s health physiotherapy appointment?
An up-to-date list of any medications you take is useful, plus details of any past or ongoing health conditions, investigations or treatments, especially if they are related to your current symptoms.
You may also wish to note down any questions you have about the problem to ask your physiotherapist as well as think about the main problems you experience and how much they affect your day-to-day life.
Do I need to do anything at home for my women’s health physiotherapy appointments?
You may be asked to complete a frequency volume chart for your bladder at home before attending your initial appointment.
Do you inform my GP about my women’s health physiotherapy?
Your GP is not routinely informed about details of your treatment but is informed if there are any concerns about your condition or if you require further investigations or referral to another health professional.
