Women's Health, Pelvic Floor and Incontinence Physiotherapy

Picture
Our in-house women's health physiotherapist treats bladder, bowel & pelvic floor problems, pelvic pain and the discomforts of pregnancy, as well as post-pregnancy issues such as blocked breast ducts and abdominal separation. Real Time Ultrasound is used to visualise your pelvic structures in real time, allowing us to accurately assess bowel and bladder function, and/or pelvic floor muscle activation. It can also be used as a teaching tool to provide you with immediate visual feedback to improve learning and performance.

Pelvic floor problems can cause emotional distress and lead to reduced participation in exercise, social activities and intimacy. You don’t need to suffer in silence. Evidence shows that you can successfully treat pelvic floor problems with a personalised pelvic health program designed and managed by a specifically trained Physiotherapist. Our women's health physio has post graduate qualifications specifically in Women's Health. We treat you with respect, understanding and discretion in our purpose built, comfortable and private consulting suites.
