Women’s Health

Women’s health physiotherapy focuses on addressing the unique musculoskeletal and pelvic health needs of women throughout their lifespan. It encompasses various conditions and concerns specific to women, such as pregnancy-related issues, pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation.

One of the key areas of women’s health physiotherapy is pelvic floor rehabilitation. Physiotherapists can assess and treat pelvic floor dysfunction, including conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary or faecal incontinence, and pelvic pain. Through a combination of exercises, manual therapy techniques, and education on lifestyle modifications, physiotherapists aim to restore optimal function and alleviate symptoms related to pelvic floor disorders.

Additionally, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in prenatal and postnatal care. During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes, including postural adaptations and increased strain on the musculoskeletal system. Physiotherapists can provide guidance on exercises, postural awareness, and pain management techniques to support women through their pregnancy journey. Postnatally, physiotherapy can aid in recovery, addressing concerns such as diastasis recti, pelvic girdle pain, and restoring pelvic floor strength and function.

Through assessment, personalized treatment plans, and education, physiotherapists aim to assist women to better manage their health and well-being. By optimizing function and addressing concerns related to pregnancy, pelvic floor dysfunction, and other women’s health issues, physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving the quality of life for women of all ages.
