I was referred to Funmi following a Hysterectomy as I wanted to return to Cross Fit as quickly as possible but due to the high intensity of the exercise it was recommended I sought professional advice. Funmi is highly professional and really explains the importance of the pelvic floor and how to exercise it to prevent future problems. She made sure I explained fully by using great analogies. Over the sessions she was always really positive and encouraging and she always put me at ease and reassured me. I would not hesitate to recommend her to all of my friends as the pelvic floor muscles are so important to all of us and are rarely talked about or explained so well.

Funimi Odofin is an excellent professional who has provided me with much needed assistance following a hysterectomy operation. She has been extremely informative and helpful. Funmi has a very pleasant and friendly manner and her use of language has been totally appropriate. I have enjoyed my time with her. In just a few sessions she has helped me to understand the importance of strengthening the pelvic floor, has explained the exercises and ensured that i am doing them correctly. At all times she has made sure that the examinations were discreet and my modesty considered. Whilst encouraging me to achieve a normal BMI she has been very keen to explain a slow and gentle loss is more appropriate. At every session she was reassuring that i was making good progress. With her help and advice the initial soreness from the surgery and additional stitches has gradually improved. Funmi has encouraged me to drink more water, a recording test proved that caffeine was indeed irritating my bladder and i have switched to decaffeinated beverages and am taking care to add more fluids to my diet. She made helpful suggestions as to how to do this. By observing carefully my patterns it became clear that i had got into some bad habits such as not emptying the bladder fully and going to the lavatory just incase . Due entirely to me work with her i am no longer doing these and feel much more in control. I consider that my recovery has been greatly assisted by Funmi who has provided a professional but considerate helping hand during what was a difficult time. J Byford.

I was referred to Funmi as I have a prolapsed bowel (rectocele). My pelvic floor muscles were extremely weak and as I have a chronic cough it was making them weaker. Funmi was very thorough and very professional. She took a long time explaining the most effective way of doing the pelvic floor exercises to ensure I got the best results and was adamant I would only get the best results if I was serious about doing the exercises daily and would take no excuses!! When my cough was particularly bad she wrote to my consultant at the Royal Brompton telling him I needed to get more help with improving that as it was seriously affecting my pelvic floor. I was quickly given an appointment and given new medication to help. This week I went back to hospital about my prolapsed bowel and was told it had greatly improved and that I no longer needed an operation to correct it. I know I will have to continue the pelvic floor exercises for the rest of my life but I'd rather that than a major operation. I am very grateful to Funmi and appreciated her honesty and firmness even if I sometimes didn't want to hear it. She always gave me time and I never felt rushed.
