Expert Women’s Health Physiotherapy
Our Physiotherapist’s have undertaken further post-graduate training in Women’s Health Assessment and Treatment and we are experts in supporting you through all phases of pregnancy including Pre, During and Post Pregnancy.
When assessing your pelvic floor, we are able to perform internal and external examinations as needed, providing a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of the pelvic floor muscles/deep core muscles.
We can use our Ultrasound Diagnostic Imaging System to provide real time ultrasound feedback of your activation of the transverse abdominus, pelvic floor and multifdus, which can be weakened and affected during pregnancy.
We also treat individuals for whom they have never seen a Women’s Health Physio after childbirth several years ago and are looking to improve their Pelvic Floor / Core Strength.
Just some of the conditions we can help with include:
- Urinary Incontinence – Stress or Urge
- Bowel Incontinence- Stress or Urge
- Rectus diastisis (abdominal separation)
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- Lower back / Sciatica pain
- Pelvic / Sacro-iliac joint pain

Exercise can also be challenging, at any stage of life. Especially knowing what is and not appropriate. Discussing between our expert staff – Physiotherapist, Exercise Physiologist and Dietitian we will be able to find out what your goals are, is your current training load appropriate and be able to help develop a safe return to exercise. These exercises may include gym programs, home based exercise rehab, clinical pilates, walking, swimming or hydrotherapy.
