Recovering from major abdominal surgery and finding your core just isn’t working the way it used to?

Had a C-section and your tummy still feels numb, tight or uncomfortable?

Feeling weaker, more sensitive around your scar, or unsure how to safely rebuild your strength?

If this sounds like you, please know you’re not alone 💛 I’ve been seeing more and more people in clinic who feel like this part of their recovery has been overlooked.

I’ve treated scars from procedures like C-sections, hysterectomies, cancer surgery, transplants and other abdominal operations can sometimes leave people dealing with:

✨ Pain, tingling or numbness
✨ Tightness or pulling around the scar
✨ Difficulty activating the core
✨ Reduced strength and exercise tolerance
✨ A feeling that your body just doesn’t quite move the same anymore

Often the focus after surgery is simply on the wound healing, but your body deserves support beyond that too.

As a physiotherapist specialising in MSK, pelvic health and scar therapy, I can help with:

🤲 Improving scar comfort and mobility
🌿 Gentle desensitisation and massage techniques
💧 Supporting pain and function using the device
💪 Reconnecting with and retraining your core
🚶 Gradually rebuilding strength, confidence and exercise tolerance

My goal is to help you get back to the things that matter to you, whether that’s playing with your children, riding your horse, walking the dog, swimming, or returning to the gym.

Every person and every scar is different, so I always take a holistic, personalised approach to recovery.

Mother’s Day to me is about celebrating women!

Today I’m sending love to every kind of mum:

To my mum 💪🏼, the new mums, the seasoned mums, the mums of grown children,
the women who hope to be mums, the women who would love to be a mum but it’s impossible, the fur baby mums, those who love their mums, to the mums who are no longer with us,
and the incredible mums who raised us.

Each and every one of us is incredible ❤️

Motherhood isn’t easy. But it’s extraordinary.

Happy Mother’s Day ❤️

Rehabilitation shouldn’t stop at hospital discharge 💪🏼 In fact, that’s when it matters the most!

Enter Holly Cummings! Holly provides specialist adult rehabilitation in your own home. Think 🤔 shorter waits for rehab by an expert rehab physio 👌🏻 It’s a no brainer!

Holly supports people who:
• Are regaining strength after hospital stays
• Have experienced falls
• Need balance and mobility rehabilitation
• Are living with reduced independence
• Can’t easily attend clinic appointments for rehab

Home-based physiotherapy can be transformational - improving confidence, safety, physical recovery and long-term independence.

Here’s what Holly says:
“With over 18 years of experience working within the NHS, I bring a deep and well-rounded clinical background to every individual I support. My practice spans a wide range of specialties including neurology, rehabilitation, orthopaedics, older adult care, prolonged hospital stays and deconditioning, post-ICU recovery, respiratory care, general surgery, falls management and fracture recovery. I also have extensive experience supporting those living with long term conditions, amputees, individuals requiring bariatric care and those requiring complex manual handling.”

“I offer a kind, compassionate, and empathetic service grounded in a holistic approach. My work is centred on understanding each person as a whole, ensuring care is not only clinically sound but genuinely supportive and respectful...”

We ensure that whether you come to clinic or need support at home, you receive skilled, professional physiotherapy tailored to you.

Do you need this? Do you know someone that needs this? Sharing is caring 🤗

⭐️⭐️A re-introduction - because what I offer is far more than one thing ⭐️⭐️

I’m Jen, a highly experienced Pelvic Health and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist, working with adults of all ages.

Not all physiotherapy is the same.

And not all pelvic health care is basic exercises and leaflets.

I treat:
• Bladder leakage & bowel symptoms
• Prolapse management & pessary fittings
• Pelvic pain & postnatal recovery including Mummy MOT
• C-section / abdominal and other scar therapy
• Post-surgical rehabilitation (not just orthopaedic but other types of surgery too - complex cases )
• Back, neck & other joint pains
• Persistent and recurring pain conditions
• Acupuncture
• Shockwave therapy
• Lymphatouch therapy

What makes my approach different?

I don’t treat body parts in isolation.
I look at the whole system - strength, movement, load, scar tissue, lifestyle, confidence.

My patients often tell me they finally feel listened to, understood, and given a plan that actually makes sense.

Whether you’re navigating pelvic health changes, recovering from surgery, or struggling with ongoing pain - you deserve experienced, thoughtful care.

This clinic is built on evidence, compassion, and results.

Sounds like what you need? I’m always here for you 🌸

Jen ❤️

🎄 Merry Christmas from Jen Stroud Physiotherapy 🎄

As we head into the festive season, we just wanted to share a little update and say a big thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their care this year ❤️

Between myself (Jen Stroud) and Holly Cummings, we bring around 25 years of combined NHS experience, alongside our private work. Holly specialises in adult rehabilitation and home visits, while I provide in-clinic physiotherapy, including pelvic health physiotherapy, Women’s Health, Mummy MOTs, musculoskeletal physiotherapy, acupuncture and shockwave therapy.

🎅 Availability update:
• Home visit appointments are fully booked before Christmas
• In-clinic appointments are currently full, however I am running a waiting list for cancellations
• At this time of year people do get ill and things crop up, so I have been able to offer a few late cancellation slots to those on the waiting list
• Home visits will restart from the first Tuesday of January 2026
• January in-clinic appointments are already filling into mid-January, with a waiting list in place

Christmas doesn’t stop life from happening - people still have hospital stays, surgeries, new aches and pains, pelvic health concerns, or maybe even an ice-skating injury ⛸️❄️ We sit more, move differently, and our bodies often feel it.

✨ Please don’t delay if you want to:
✔️ Reduce pain
✔️ Improve mobility
✔️ Recover after hospital
✔️ Address pelvic health symptoms
✔️ Prevent falls
✔️ Get back on track in the New Year

📌 One thing many people don’t realise is that physios can assess and refer on. If needed, we can write to your GP to request imaging or further medical referrals - and a physio letter can be a really powerful part of getting the right treatment.

We’re here for you - now and into the New Year 💙
Join the waiting list or book ahead to avoid disappointment.

🎄 Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year 🎄✨

You can still book online for January, though, if you’re planning ahead.

To book for December, just contact us directly — message, text, WhatsApp, email, Instagram DM or Facebook, whatever’s easiest for you. ❤️✨

🌟 Go Holly! 🌟
Our very own Holly Cummings from Jen Stroud Physiotherapy is at the CSP Conference in Wales today — soaking up the sunshine, learning loads, meeting providers, and diving into all things physio and professional development.

Just look at where she is… absolutely stunning weather for a day of inspiration and growth! ☀️📚✨

She even managed to get a full night’s sleep (a rare luxury with a little one at home! 😅), so she’s refreshed, energised, and ready to make the most of it.

I can’t wait to hear all about the talks, ideas, and insights she brings back.
Have an amazing day, Holly — I’m cheering you on! 💙🙌

✨ Feeling grateful ✨
A beautiful message from one of my lovely clients this week:

“Thanks again so much for listening and hearing me and with the help regarding the doctors. You’re providing a fantastic service to women.” 💛

Messages like this mean the world — a reminder of why I do what I do. Whether it’s supporting women through pelvic health, helping with recovery, or working with anyone who wants to move, feel, and live better — it’s always a privilege to be part of your journey 🌿💪

🔥❄️ PRICE vs PEACE & LOVE — Which One Wins?

PRICE (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is great right after an injury to calm pain and swelling…
…but healing isn’t just about stopping inflammation — it’s about rebuilding! 💪

That’s why the new gold standard is PEACE & LOVE 💙✌️
It focuses on movement, education, and optimism to help your body recover stronger and smarter. Here’s what it stands for:

Protection
Elevation
Avoid anti-inflammatories
Compression
Education

then

Load
Optimism
Vascularisation (gentle movement to boost blood flow)
Exercise

💡 Use PRICE in the first hours — then switch to PEACE & LOVE for lasting recovery. Heat is great for pain relief too 🤗

Always here for you ❤️

✨ New Trolley, Same Powerful Results! ✨

Meet my clinic dream team — the radial shockwave machine from and the device — now looking absolutely fabulous on their snazzy new trolley! 💪

The shockwave machine has been a total hit for treating stubborn tendinopathies, plantar fasciitis and even frozen shoulder, while the Lymphatouch remains my go-to for scar therapy, swelling management and even massaging those tight muscles. I’ve used it on everything from C-section and hysterectomy scars to liver transplant scars, plus post-fracture swelling and even those tight backs and calves we all know too well.

My therapeutic ultrasound still has its spot (bottom shelf!) — though it’s been a bit overshadowed by the other two powerhouse devices.

Loving how functional (and frankly, beautiful!) this setup is. Might have to share a video soon because… wow, don’t they look incredible? 😍

New toy in the clinic - I’ve started using it this week… Shockwave Therapy! ⚡️

We’ve started treatments for lateral hip pain, Achilles issues, and plantar fasciitis – all paired with tailored rehab programs to tackle the root cause.

Everyone found the treatment really manageable 🙌 and the settings can always be adjusted to keep things comfortable.

The aim: pain-free running, walking, and even sleeping!

Really exciting start — can’t wait to see how they get on. Watch this space! 👀✨
