Pregnancy and Women’s Health

Our professional advice and personalised care gives you confidence

As a woman, you have unique and individual healthcare needs, that change throughout your different life stages. That’s why we have a devoted women’s health physiotherapist team, here to help you be well and stay well.

 

How can physiotherapy help your condition?

Especially beneficial for women who are prenatal, postnatal, perimenopausal and menopausal, our women’s health physiotherapy treats a range of conditions, including those associated with urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor function.

Preventative care

  • Musculoskeletal, metabolic, cardiac, pulmonary and neuromuscular function
  • Cancer
  • Women’s health issues
  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • Osteoporosis
  • High blood pressure
  • Posture and muscle control
  • Depression

How can exercise physiology help your condition?

Providing you with an individualised, safe and effective exercise program, our accredited exercise physiologists are here to help you improve your overall health. Drawing on the benefits of exercise, we help you manage conditions such as:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
  • Heart health, including heart attack recovery
  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
  • Menopause

Also important during and after pregnancy, we can design a safe and appropriate exercise program that will keep you fit and healthy. Our priority is always the wellbeing of your body, its capacity to recover and continued function over the long-term. This is why, rather than focusing on how fast you lose weight after pregnancy, we create a sustainable and nurturing exercise program, just for you.
