Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Life Physio also offers Women's Health physiotherapy at our Caroline Springs location - next to Burnside, Burnside Heights, Taylors Hill and Hillside . We are the only clinic in the area that offers this expert service, by a masters-trained physiotherapist.

Our specifically trained Women's Health Physiotherapist will evaluate the function of your pelvic floor muscles and assess your ability to contract and relax these muscles.
