Pelvic health — on hold until spring 2027

Jenny, our pelvic health specialist, is on maternity leave, and rather than pass you to someone without her specialist training, we’ve chosen to pause the service until she’s back.

If you’d like us to let you know when appointments reopen, leave your details below or call us on 0115 972 1319, and we’ll add you to the list.

And if you’re in pain or unsure where to turn in the meantime, do get in touch anyway. We’ll talk it through and help you find the right support, whether that’s with us or elsewhere.

Your first appointment

A Safe and Supportive Environment

Your first appointment will be held in a private setting to discuss your pelvic health problems in detail and also screen for any other pelvic floor related issues. We understand that this can be sensitive information that some people find difficult to discuss, but Jenny has an empathetic ear- and you are unlikely to say anything she hasn’t heard and helped manage before!

If appropriate you will be given options of a physical examination, which could include an internal examination for a pelvic floor problem. An internal vaginal or back passage assessment is available if appropriate.

Our pelvic health service is on hold until spring 2027, while Jenny, our pelvic health specialist, is on maternity leave. Call us on 0115 972 1319 or send us a message and we’ll let you know when appointments reopen.

Meet Jenny Horrigan

Pelvic Health Specialist Physiotherapist

Improving the quality of life and self-management of pelvic health problems is of paramount importance to me. I know the impact pelvic health problems can have on your overall well being, so there’s no greater satisfaction when I’m able to share my knowledge and experiences to help you take back control.

With over 16 years of experience in this specialist field, I am able to treat a large range of pelvic health conditions. My specialist interests lie within chronic pelvic pain and lower bowel dysfunction. I also work for the NHS for Leicester Pelvic floor Service, a specialist functional bowel clinic, and teach fellow Physiotherapists Nationally on the POGP lower bowel dysfunction course.

Since graduating from the University of Keele (2003) with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy, I attained a Post Graduate Certificate in ‘Continence for Physiotherapists’ from the University of Bradford (2011). More recently, in 2025, I attained an Internship with University of Lincoln completing a research project relating to bowel incontinence management.

What our patients say

    Patient review

    I worked with Jenny who was incredibly helpful and supportive. I did pelvic floor physio with her and it’s changed my life! My struggles and pain felt acknowledged and I couldn’t recommend her enough. I was always seen on time and felt like the sessions were very good value for money for how much they have helped me.

    Patient review

    Absolutely fabulous experience. I'd recommend that every woman has these appts post birth for advice, knowledge & acknowledgement about how birth has impacted them. Jenny was very thorough, informative & lovely. Money well spent. Thanks so much.

    I was referred to Jenny Horrigan, a specialist pelvic floor physio, as I had very tight pelvic muscles which were giving me significant discomfort. Jenny gave me an exercise programme, together with some pelvic muscle manipulation which, over two or three months has completely stopped my discomfort. I would thoroughly recommend Jenny and would definitely use Impact Physio again in the future.
