Women-Focused Physiotherapy

Women’s bodies go through a lot in one lifetime. Menstruation, menopause, pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage, postnatal recovery, and gynaecological conditions can all take a mental and physical toll on women’s bodies.  

Many women experience some or all of the following painful symptoms:

  • Hip pain

  • Groin pain

  • Pelvic pain

  • Headaches

  • Incontinence

  • Bowel dysfunction

  • Painful intercourse

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you may benefit from women-focused physiotherapy. Our physiotherapists and health specialists can help you identify what is causing your pain and offer helpful suggestions for exercises and training that can enable you to live a pain-free life.

Women in Focus Physiotherapy & Health

Why do we put women in focus at our physiotherapy clinic? Its simple—we understand and recognise the enormous toll women’s bodies take as they go through their lives. While men can also suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction, women are significantly more likely to experience painful symptoms due to any number of gynaecological challenges or milestones.

Here are some of the ways we focus on helping women prevent or heal from pelvic pain and injury.

Prenatal physiotherapy

Carrying and delivering a child takes an extraordinary physical effort. We help women stay healthy and keep their pelvic floor muscles strong during pregnancy, so their bodies are prepared when it’s time for delivery. A physiotherapist can guide you through exercises and other techniques that can help you stay strong and healthy during pregnancy.

Postnatal physiotherapy

Many women are tempted to jump back into their pre-pregnancy exercise routines as soon as they give birth. However, it’s essential to give your body time to heal and ease back into an exercise routine slowly. Our physiotherapists can work with you to make sure you carefully and moderately regain strength, especially in your core and pelvic floor muscles, to prevent injury.

Endometriosis relief and post-surgery recovery

Millions of women suffer from endometriosis and may experience pain in their groin or hip, along with painful intercourse, intense cramping, infertility, and incontinence as a result. Our women’s physiotherapy specialists can help endometriosis pelvic pain sufferers find relief using gentle exercises and other techniques. They can also help with post-surgery recovery to prevent injuries.

Lifelong women’s physiotherapy

Women may experience pelvic floor pain or dysfunction throughout their lives. Our women in focus physiotherapy sessions can help women regain control of their bowel and bladder by strengthening their pelvic floor. They can also help women who experience painful intercourse.

Using real-time ultrasound and an internal examination, our physiotherapists can help you figure out what’s causing your symptoms so you can regain your strength and get back to living your life.

Experience Patient-Centred Care

Our women’s health physiotherapists put patients at the centre of care. These highly-trained specialists are well-equipped to help women of all ages stop living in pain and start living the life they deserve. Together, we will create a treatment plan that works on your schedule and prioritises your needs. Schedule an appointment today to get started!
