Ten Health & Fitness launches specialist women’s wellbeing services

Ten Health & Fitness has unveiled its new collection of women’s wellbeing services including physiotherapy and pelvic floor exercises.

Ten’s range offers dedicated pre and post-natal massage services, pelvic floor on-demand classes to improve the connection, strength and control of the pelvic floor and surrounding core and gluteal muscles along with special edition workshops, both online and in studio – covering topics such as pelvic floor health and dysfunction.

The specialist women’s health physiotherapy sessions are accredited by the Pelvic, Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society and led by Kendall Scales, women’s health specialist physio and trainer.

A review published in the National Library of Medicine has suggested that pelvic floor muscle training is an effective treatment for urinary incontinence in women and significantly improves their quality of life.

Researchers have also found that physical activity both during pregnancy and puerperium – the first six weeks after childbirth – can reduce the symptoms of postpartum depression as well as the level of fatigue in young mothers.

The new women’s health offering adds to Ten Clinical’s programme for menopause support, offered in collaboration with Harley Street, hormone health specialist.

The company says that the move further reinforces Ten’s “Circle of Care” ethos, which joins up the fitness and clinical elements of health and wellbeing.

“As someone who went through early-onset menopause, not to mention my fair share of injuries and setbacks physically, I know how important a truly tailored and targeted wellbeing regime is,” says founder Joanne Mathews.

“It’s why we started Ten, more than a decade ago. We’ll continue to grow this new set of female-focused services indefinitely and look forward to exciting partnerships with like-minded brands and experts, now and in the future.”

Mathews adds: “I’ve never been prouder of our business than in this moment. In championing the wellbeing of women, the changes we go through physically and mentally, and honouring the care we must prioritise to be truly well,” she continues.

“I hope we can lead by example and give women the resources and services they deserve, at every age and life stage.”

Kendall Scales, women’s health lead physio and trainer at Ten Health & Fitness explains that: “We have extensive experience in supporting clients with Pelvic and lumbar spine concerns. We also have connections with some of the leading gynaecologist consultants in London.

“Adding this new selection of services to our extensive rehabilitation offering helps us to offer the best level of holistic care to women in every stage of their health journey.”
