Bladder leaks
Leaking when you cough, laugh, jump or rush — and urgency that's hard to hold.
Physiotherapist at Narika
Raksha Suvarna
Raksha Suvarna is the physiotherapist at Narika, focusing on pelvic health, pain and postnatal recovery. She helps women with the problems they're often told to live with — leaking, heaviness, pelvic pain, painful sex and a body that hasn't felt the same since birth.

About Raksha Suvarna
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports the bladder, bowel and uterus, and it plays a part in continence, sexual function and core stability. Pregnancy, birth, hormonal change, chronic stress and heavy lifting can all affect how well it works — at any age, whether or not you've had children.
Raksha's approach starts with listening and moves at your pace. Assessment is always explained beforehand and done only with your consent, and treatment is built around exercises that fit into a normal day. The aim is not just symptom relief, but confidence in your body again.
Within Narika, Raksha is central to the Vaginismus Care Plan, where she and our psychologist work together, and to the PCOS and Menopause plans, where movement and strength protect metabolic, bone and heart health.
Areas of focus
The concerns women most often bring to Raksha.

Is leaking after childbirth normal?
It's common, but it isn't something you have to accept. Supervised pelvic floor muscle training is a recommended first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence, and most women see steady improvement with a consistent programme. Raksha can assess you and build that programme.
Is a pelvic floor assessment always internal?
No. Many assessments begin externally, and an internal assessment is only suggested when it would genuinely help — always explained first and only with your consent. You can decline or stop at any time.
How soon after giving birth can I start physiotherapy?
Gentle breathing and pelvic floor work can often begin in the early weeks after birth, and a full postnatal assessment is commonly done around six weeks or later. It's never too late to start — women come to Raksha months or years after birth.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You can book directly with Raksha by phone, WhatsApp or the enquiry form.
