Women’s Health

 Women’s Health and Physio

Women’s health physiotherapy is an area of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment and management of health conditions that women experience throughout their lifetime, such as incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction following childbirth.

These conditions often go unspoken and are therefore left untreated for long periods of time.

However, the symptoms that you may experience from these conditions are more common than you expect and can be managed with the help of a women’s health physiotherapist. 

Some of the conditions we can assist you with include

Pelvic Conditions 

  • Stress Urinary Incontinence 
  • Urinary Urgency and Urge Incontinence 
  • Frequency 
  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse 
  • Constipation 
  • Faecal Incontinence 

 

Postnatal Care 

  • Pelvic floor muscle training after birth trauma 
  • Rehabilitation following caesarean section 
  • Diastasis rectus abdominus 

 

Prenatal Care 

  • Exercise during pregnancy 
  • Round Ligament Pain
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome  
  • Pregnancy-related Pelvic Girdle Pain 
  • Pregnancy-related Lower Back Pain 

 

Menopause 

  • Osteoporosis and bone health

Treatment for Women's Health

Our approach to women’s health physiotherapy is personalised, evidence-based, and compassionate. We understand that each woman’s body and experience is unique, which is why we tailor your treatment to suit your individual needs and goals.

Pelvic Floor Muscle Training - Targeted exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor muscles, often essential for treating incontinence, prolapse, and postnatal recovery.

Education and Advice - Empowering you with the knowledge to understand your condition and confidently manage it day-to-day, whether it’s during pregnancy, postnatally, or through menopause.

Manual Therapy - Hands-on techniques to relieve pain, improve movement, and support tissue healing—particularly helpful for back and pelvic girdle pain.

Bladder and Bowel Retraining - Structured programs to help restore normal bladder and bowel habits and reduce urgency or frequency.

Lifestyle and Postural Support - Guidance on ergonomics, daily habits, and postural alignment to help reduce strain and prevent recurring issues.

Exercise Prescription - Safe, progressive exercise tailored to your body and life stage—whether you’re preparing for birth, recovering postpartum, or supporting bone health during menopause.

We aim to treat not just your symptoms, but the underlying cause—ensuring you feel stronger, more confident, and in control of your body.
