Women's Health Physiotherapy, Whatever Stage You're At

Whether it’s back pain, bladder leaks or core weakness that has stayed with you since giving birth, or pelvic pain and pain during sex that’s affecting both your daily life and your intimacy, these aren’t things you should just have to learn to live with.

Women’s health is complex and deeply personal, and it’s different for everyone. Our experienced pelvic health physios at DX Physio tailor your women’s health physio care to what you’re going through, with one aim in mind: getting you moving with confidence, strength and comfort.

The Role Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Plays

Not everyone who ends up seeing our pelvic floor physiotherapists comes to us with a pelvic complaint. Many women arrive with ongoing back or hip pain that just never seems to go away, having already worked through stretches, massage or general physio and found that the pain keeps coming back.

What may get missed in all of that is the pelvic region. When pelvic muscles are weak, tight or out of balance, which can happen after pregnancy, menopause or surgery, they can affect your posture, your stability and even your breathing. Assessing the pelvic floor gives us a clearer picture of how these muscles may be contributing to your symptoms, which helps shape the next steps in your care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions and health concerns do you treat?

Some of the common conditions treated by our physiotherapists include back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint pain, muscle strains, headaches, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, postnatal recovery, bladder concerns, changes in bowel movements, incontinence, prolapse and rehabilitation following surgery or injury. Treatment is tailored to your symptoms, needs and individual goals.

Can I claim my sessions through Medicare or my health fund?

Both may be available to you. If your GP has prepared a chronic condition management plan and referred you for physiotherapy, Medicare covers up to five allied health sessions per calendar year, shared across all allied health services on that plan — your GP will confirm whether you’re eligible. If you hold extras cover that includes physiotherapy, your health fund will usually cover a portion of each consultation, with the amount depending on your level of cover and any annual limits. It’s worth checking with your fund before your appointment.

Do I need a referral from other health professionals to see a physiotherapist?

In most cases, you can book a physiotherapy appointment without a referral from other health professionals. Depending on your needs, treatment may include education, tailored exercises, movement strategies and manual therapy. Physiotherapy may also be eligible for rebates through some private health funds, depending on your level of cover. We recommend checking directly with your provider.

What are physio-led exercise classes?

Physiotherapist-led exercise classes provide structured, supervised sessions designed to support strength, mobility, balance and overall movement. Exercises may be adapted to suit your current ability, health needs and goals, with guidance provided throughout the class to help you exercise safely and confidently.

What is women's health physio?

Women’s health physio is a focused area of practice covering pelvic health, pregnancy and postnatal recovery, menopause, and the pain or continence concerns that come with them. Our pelvic health physios see women across Sydney at every stage of life, from first-time mums to women navigating menopause and beyond.

What's the difference between women's health physio and pelvic floor physiotherapy?

Women’s health physio is the broader umbrella, while pelvic floor physiotherapy looks specifically at the muscles that support your bladder, bowel and pelvic organs. Women’s health appointments may involve some element of pelvic floor assessment, because those muscles influence so much of how your body moves.

What should I expect from my first visit?

We’ll take a detailed history including your symptoms, your birth or surgical history, what’s changed and when, and talk through your health goals. From there we’ll assess how your body is moving and functioning, and build a plan around your specific needs. Nothing happens without your consent, and you’re welcome to ask questions at any point.

How many sessions will I need?

Every woman’s situation is different, so there’s no standard answer. What you’re experiencing, how long it’s been going on, and what you’re working towards all shape the picture. We’ll talk you through what to expect after your first visit and reassess as we go, rather than locking you into a set number of sessions upfront.

Can physiotherapy help with bladder leakage and pelvic pain?

Physiotherapy may help manage bladder leakage, urinary incontinence and pelvic pain by assessing factors such as pelvic floor function, muscle tension, coordination and movement. Treatment may include pelvic floor muscle training, bladder habit education, breathing strategies and tailored exercises.

Where clinically appropriate, an assessment may also include a physical examination and, with your informed consent, an internal assessment. Physiotherapy may support related concerns such as bowel symptoms, pain during intercourse and pelvic organ prolapse, with care tailored to your symptoms, goals and comfort.
