South Woodford is about as close as you can be to the clinic without being in Woodford Green itself. Our clinic at 154 High Road, IG8 9EF is a short journey north — one stop on the Central line from South Woodford station, or a straightforward drive up the A104.
That proximity matters more than it sounds. Pelvic health rehabilitation runs over three to six months, and the courses people abandon are almost always the ones with an awkward journey attached. From E18 there is no awkward journey.
Getting here from South Woodford
By Central line: South Woodford to Woodford is a single stop northbound, then a short walk or bus along High Road. For many people in E18 this is quicker than driving.
By car: head north on the A104 (George Lane onto High Road). Under ten minutes outside peak times.
By bus: routes running along the High Road corridor connect South Woodford and Woodford Green directly.
On foot or by bike: the northern end of E18 is within comfortable walking distance, and the whole route is flat.
What we treat
Patients travel to the Woodford Green clinic from South Woodford for the full range of pelvic health and musculoskeletal physiotherapy:
Bladder problems

Pelvic pain
Persistent pelvic pain, painful sex and vaginismus. See chronic pelvic pain.
Menopause

Men's pelvic health
Continence after prostate surgery, male pelvic pain and bladder problems. See men's pelvic health.
Back and joint pain
Low back pain, sciatica, coccyx pain and post-operative rehabilitation. See back pain physiotherapy.
Postnatal care in E18
South Woodford has a substantial young family population, and postnatal assessment is one of the most common reasons people from E18 come to the clinic.
Worth restating, because the NHS six-week check does not cover it: that appointment is a brief screen and does not usually include any assessment of your pelvic floor or abdominal wall. Being told everything is fine at six weeks means no obvious complication was found — not that your body has recovered.
If you are still leaking, feel heaviness, have a persistent gap in your abdominal muscles, find sex painful, or cannot get back to running, a proper postnatal assessment is worth having. Babies are welcome at appointments and you do not need to arrange childcare.
There is also no time limit. A good proportion of the postnatal patients seen here are several years or more past the birth in question.
Whipps Cross and local NHS services
South Woodford sits close to the Redbridge and Waltham Forest boundary, and residents are typically served by Whipps Cross University Hospital and Redbridge community services depending on where exactly you live and where your GP is registered.
NHS pelvic health physiotherapy is available via GP referral, and where waiting times are long a common approach is to join the list while starting privately, so that rehabilitation begins immediately rather than after several months.
If you are already under a urogynaecology, colorectal or maternity team locally, bring any letters or investigation results to your first appointment — they are genuinely useful and save repeating work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to the clinic from South Woodford?
South Woodford to Woodford is one stop northbound on the Central line, followed by a short walk or bus along High Road. By car it is a straightforward run north on the A104, usually under ten minutes outside peak times. The clinic is at 154 High Road, Woodford Green IG8 9EF.
Can I bring my baby to a postnatal appointment?
Yes. Babies are welcome at postnatal appointments and you do not need to arrange childcare. If your baby needs feeding or settling during the session, that is entirely expected and the appointment simply works around it.
Is it too late for a postnatal assessment if I gave birth years ago?
No. Pelvic floor muscle training improves strength and reduces symptoms regardless of how long ago you gave birth, because muscle responds to appropriate load at any age. A significant proportion of postnatal patients at the clinic are several years or more past the birth, including women now approaching menopause who find old symptoms have returned.
Do you offer appointments outside working hours?
The clinic is open Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm, Friday 9am to 3pm, and Saturday and Sunday 9am to 5pm. Weekend availability suits people who cannot take time off during the week. Mention your preferred times when booking and the earliest suitable slot will be offered.
