Women's Health Physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the unique musculoskeletal and physiological needs of women. This specialised form of care addresses conditions that are specific to women's health, such as those related to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic floor dysfunction, and more.
The goal of Women’s Health Physiotherapy is to support women in improving health and wellness through targeted exercises, education, and personalised plans (results vary).

Women of all ages can benefit from Women's Health Physiotherapy at various stages of their lives. Here are some scenarios where seeking the expertise of a women's health physiotherapist is highly recommended:
Pregnancy
Throughout pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes significant changes that can lead to discomfort and pain. In this case, a physio for pregnancy can help you manage conditions like back pain, pelvic pain, and postural changes to ensure a more comfortable pregnancy journey.
Postpartum RecoveryAfter childbirth, many women experience issues such as pelvic floor weakness, diastasis recti (abdominal separation), and lower back pain. Here is where postnatal physiotherapy may help address discomfort, weakness and pain associated with childbirth and aid recovery. Women’s health physiotherapists particularly a pelvic health physiotherapist or a physio for diastasis recti can offer specialised exercises and techniques to aid in postpartum recovery and regain strength.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in bladder, bowel, and sexual function. A pelvic health physio may assist with urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or discomfort during intercourse by offering exercises and strategies that aim to improve pelvic floor function (outcomes vary).
MenopauseHormonal changes during menopause can lead to bone density loss and changes in joint function. Women’s Health Physiotherapy can guide women through exercises that may support bone health, help manage joint discomfort, and contribute to overall well-being.
Preventative CareWomen's Health Physiotherapy isn't just for addressing specific conditions. It also offers valuable guidance on maintaining a healthy musculoskeletal system, preventing issues related to posture, alignment, and muscle imbalances.
