Women’s Health Physiotherapy: Supporting Every Stage of Life

Our women’s health physiotherapy services provide expert care for pelvic floor health, continence, pregnancy-related discomfort, and postpartum recovery. We offer evidence-based treatments to support women at every stage of life, helping to restore comfort, strength, and confidence.

What Is Women's Health Physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy is a specialised field dedicated to addressing the unique physical challenges women face at various stages of life. This includes expert care for continence issues, such as bladder weakness and pelvic pain, through targeted pelvic muscle strengthening. These treatments aim to restore function, reduce discomfort, and improve quality of life.

For women experiencing pregnancy-related changes, physiotherapy provides tailored exercise programs and strategies to manage common issues like lower back and pelvic pain, offering both relief and support for the body’s changing needs.

Postpartum and breastfeeding challenges are another critical focus. Therapeutic ultrasound is an effective treatment for conditions such as mastitis, engorgement, or blocked milk ducts, providing swift relief and supporting a smoother breastfeeding experience. By combining evidence-based techniques with individualized care, women’s health physiotherapy helps address the diverse needs of women, empowering them to move confidently through life’s transitions with strength and resilience.

Continence & Pelvic Floor Health

Bladder weakness and incontinence are common, especially before or after pregnancy and in later years. Weak or overactive pelvic muscles can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty with bladder control. Our physiotherapists specialize in pelvic muscle strengthening and relaxation techniques to restore function and reduce pain. Speak with your physiotherapist or doctor to explore if this treatment is right for you.

Pregnancy Support - Relieving Pain and Discomfort

Lower back and pelvic pain are frequent complaints during pregnancy, often resulting from changes in posture and ligament laxity. Our physiotherapists provide targeted treatments to address these issues, along with strengthening exercises to alleviate joint strain. Braces and supports may also be recommended to enhance comfort and mobility.

Pregnancy Support - Safe Exercise During Pregnancy

Staying active during pregnancy offers numerous benefits when done safely. Our physiotherapists create personalized exercise programs, including water-based activities like water aerobics, which reduce joint impact and help manage swelling and discomfort. Staying strong and active during pregnancy can ease the physical demands of lifting and caring for children, helping you feel confident and resilient.

Breastfeeding Support - Ultrasound Therapy for Mastitis and Engorgement

Blocked milk ducts, engorgement, and mastitis can make breastfeeding a challenging and painful experience. Therapeutic ultrasound is an effective treatment to alleviate these issues. If you experience flu-like symptoms or fever, consult your doctor for antibiotics before starting therapy. Most women find relief with just one or two sessions.
