Women's Health Physio Manly

Physiotherapy isn’t only for managing existing injuries; it may also play a role in helping you understand your body, improve your posture, and move more efficiently. This may help prevent future injuries.

Physiotherapy isn’t only for when an injury occurs. Attending regular physiotherapy sessions may help support more efficient movement, assist in managing muscle tightness, and contribute to improved posture, helping you maintain a healthier and more active life long term.

Women’s health physiotherapy covers the changing needs women may experience with pelvic health, pregnancy, postnatal recovery and menopause, including associated pain or continence issues. Our pelvic health physios see women throughout Sydney at all stages of life, from first-time mums to those navigating menopause and beyond.

Women’s health physiotherapy covers a wider range of concerns, including pregnancy, postnatal recovery, menopause, pelvic health and related pain or continence issues. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is more specifically centred on the muscles that support the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs. The two areas can overlap, so a women’s health appointment may include a pelvic floor assessment where it is relevant to your symptoms and goals.

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.

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.

Physiotherapy can address concerns such as pelvic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, postnatal recovery, bladder concerns, bowel changes, incontinence and prolapse, as well as back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint pain, muscle strains, headaches and rehabilitation following surgery or injury. Treatment is planned to suit your individual symptoms, needs and goals.

Physiotherapy may support people experiencing bladder leakage, urinary incontinence or pelvic pain through an assessment of pelvic floor control, muscle tension and movement patterns. Your plan may include training for the pelvic floor muscles, advice on bladder routines, breathing work 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.

In most situations, you do not need a referral to book physiotherapy. The appointment may include practical advice, tailored exercise, movement approaches and hands-on treatment, based on your symptoms and aims. Depending on your level of private health fund cover, you may be able to claim a rebate, although annual limits and eligibility vary. Contact your provider to confirm what applies.

Physiotherapy is not just for when something goes wrong. Regular physiotherapy sessions may help you move more efficiently, manage muscle tightness, and support improved posture, contributing to a healthier and more active life over the long term.These structured, supervised classes are led by a physiotherapist and can support strength, mobility, balance and general movement. Activities are adjusted to your ability, health needs and goals, with guidance throughout to promote safe, confident participation.
