Take Control of Your Well-being

Women’s health is often underrepresented in mainstream healthcare discussions, yet it plays a crucial role in overall well-being. Whether you're preparing for childbirth, navigating the postpartum period, managing menopause, or dealing with pelvic pain, women’s health physiotherapy in Glen Iris, Malvern, Camberwell, and Ashburton offers evidence-based solutions to restore function, alleviate discomfort, and enhance quality of life.

Conditions such as incontinence, prolapse, painful intercourse, and pelvic floor dysfunction are common but frequently overlooked. You don’t have to suffer in silence - a specialised physiotherapist for women’s health can help you regain strength, confidence, and control over your body.

Why Women’s Health Physiotherapy Matters

Your pelvic floor is the foundation of your body’s core, supporting essential functions including bladder, bowel, and reproductive health. When these muscles become weakened or dysfunctional—due to pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, high-impact exercise, or aging—you may experience discomfort and reduced function. Physiotherapy offers a non-invasive, research-backed approach to strengthening the pelvic floor, improving muscle coordination, and addressing a wide range of women's health concerns. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge, strategies, and treatment you need to feel strong and confident in your body.

Your Journey to Better Health

Pregnancy & Postpartum Recovery Physiotherapy

Carrying and delivering a baby brings remarkable changes to your body. Whether you're experiencing pelvic girdle pain, incontinence, or abdominal separation, we provide expert care throughout your pregnancy and postpartum journey. Our goal is to help you stay active, reduce discomfort, and safely return to exercise after childbirth.

✔️ Postpartum rehabilitation, including abdominal separation (diastasis recti), prolapse, and incontinence management

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: More Common Than You Think

Pelvic floor dysfunction affects women of all ages, including high-impact athletes such as runners, gymnasts, and weightlifters. Repeated jumping, heavy lifting, and high-intensity training place excessive strain on the pelvic floor, leading to leakage, prolapse, and pain. Despite being physically fit, many athletes experience stress urinary incontinence, where urine leaks during strenuous activity.

We specialise in treating active women and athletes in Glen Iris, Malvern, Camberwell, and Ashburton who experience pelvic dysfunction, ensuring they can continue training, competing, and performing at their best.

Signs you may benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy:     

✔️ Accidental leakage (urinary or bowel), especially during exercise
✔️ A sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis
✔️ Pain or discomfort during intimacy
✔️ Difficulty controlling bladder or bowel movements
✔️ Post-surgical pelvic rehabilitation (e.g., after a hysterectomy)
✔️ Reduced core strength affecting athletic performance

Menopause Physiotherapy Support: Thriving Through Change

Menopause is a significant transition that brings hormonal shifts affecting muscle tone, bone density, and joint health. With the right guidance, you can navigate these changes confidently. We provide evidence-based physiotherapy to manage joint pain, pelvic health concerns, and muscle stiffness, as well as education on maintaining bone health, mobility, and overall well-being.

Our menopause physiotherapy services include:

✔️ Pelvic floor rehabilitation for bladder and bowel control
✔️ Safe strength and resistance training for osteoporosis prevention
✔️ Strategies for managing hot flashes, mood swings, and muscle tension
