women's health physiotherapy.
Women’s Health Physiotherapy is focused on musculoskeletal issues associated with pregnancy, birth, post-partum, breastfeeding and menopause, including diagnosis and management of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
Our physiotherapist Heidi is our resident physiotherapist with special interest in women’s health and pelvic floor dysfunction. She has trained with and is a member of Women’s Health Training Associates (WHTA).
pelvic floor dysfunction.
Dysfunction of the pelvic floor can be debilitating in several ways for women and men, often affecting continence, sexual function and quality of life.
(Note: Yes that does say men – we can treat men with pelvic floor issues too!)
The pelvic floor is a muscular structure and appropriate physiotherapy intervention can assist in managing and resolving pelvic floor issues.
We can assist with issues such as:
- Pelvic floor muscle weakness
- Overactivity (tightness) of pelvic floor muscles
- Pelvic pain (acute or chronic) including endometriosis, vaginismus and vulvodynia
- Urinary incontinence, including stress incontinence or urinary urgency
- Overactive bladder and nocturia (consistently needing to wake for toileting overnight)
- Faecal incontinence or urgency
- Prolapse (including pessary care)
- Post-surgical care – prolapse repair, continence sling, hysterectomy or prostatectomy, including return to sport and exercise following gynaecological or abdominal surgery
pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a wonderful but physically demanding time for your body. Assistance from a physiotherapist during this time can help in the management of pain, pelvic instability, core weakness or to assist in the designing of an appropriate exercise program for your pregnancy’s duration, and even extending into the post-natal period.
We can assist with:
- Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain or pelvic instability
- Pregnancy-related spinal, rib or hip pain
- Carpal tunnel, wrist or leg pain (common during pregnancy)
- Exercise during pregnancy
- Abdominal muscle separation management
post-natal physiotherapy.
The post-natal or post-partum time following birth is different for everyone as the body recovers from pregnancy and childbirth. This can also present different challenges for the body as nursing and feeding become routine.
Physiotherapy during this time can assist with general aches and pain, as well as:
-
An initial post-natal (6 week) pelvic floor physio check:
- Pelvic floor muscle recruitment and strength
- Assessment for any birth-related injuries, including pelvic floor muscle avulsion or pudendal nerve injury
- Prolapse risk
- Abdominal muscle health and strength
- Pelvic floor strengthening training
- Pelvic floor muscle down-training if required
- Post caesarean section advice and exercise program
- Mastitis and blocked duct management (including ultrasound therapy)
- Return to exercise screening and programs any time from one week post-birth
core exercise classes.
Core Exercise Classes
Core Classes focused on improving your core strength and mobility are a great complementary therapy for Women’s Health Physiotherapy. We have a number of different core exercise classes on offer.
