What to Expect
Firstly, we spend all of our time with our clients 1:1. We spend a full
60 minutes for each assessment, because we want to hear your story, and get to know you. We won’t be bouncing from client to client.
There are a few factors that determine the assessment tools we’ll use - depending on how you feel, any pains or discomfort or any pre-existing medical conditions. Whatever the case, we’ll discuss our findings, and make sure that you understand what it all means.
Then we’ll develop a treatment plan. Collaboratively.
From there, it depends on how you want to work with us.
Some of our clients are excellent at doing their home program, so we need to see them less frequently. But some need more guidance along the way. So we work with you to map out what to expect, and when to expect it!
We aim to see a world where women are comfortable in their bodies, and able to participate in the life and adventure they love.
Because we care about women.
We loathe the constant messaging that we all need to look like the
insta-models with flat bellies or who miraculously ‘bounce back’ to their pre-baby bodies after just 6 weeks.
We know that each woman is unique, and her life and her health are unique. So then is your treatment. When booking in for a Women’s Health appointment, you will be assessed by a physiotherapist with additional training in the field of pelvic and women's health.
We dedicate 60 minutes to you alone. We get to know your story and your goals.
We then work with you to create a treatment plan in line with your life and goals
