Womens Health Physio Manly
Because every woman deserves to feel confident in her body.
Physio Care for Women at Every Stage of Life
Are you struggling with back pain, bladder leaks, or core weakness after birth? Is pelvic pain or painful intercourse affecting your daily life or intimacy?
Women’s health is multifaceted and deeply personal. At DX Physio, our experienced female physiotherapists provide tailored women’s health physio care to support you towards moving with greater confidence, strength, and comfort.
Women's Health Conditions We May Assist With
Our women’s health physiotherapy services are designed to assist with a broad range of conditions, from pelvic floor concerns to postnatal care and beyond.
How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy May Make a Difference
Many women visit us with persistent back or hip pain that hasn’t responded to stretches, massage, or general physiotherapy. Despite their efforts, the discomfort continues to return.
The pelvic region is often an overlooked contributor to ongoing pain. When pelvic muscles are weak, tight, or imbalanced, particularly after pregnancy, menopause, or surgery, they may affect your posture, stability, and even your breathing patterns.
This is where women’s health physiotherapy may help:
Confidence and Comfort
Our holistic approach may help you develop a better understanding of your body, build strength, and work toward feeling truly comfortable in your own skin.
Life’s Changes
A woman's body goes through significant changes across her lifetime. Women's health physiotherapy may help you move through each stage with greater ease and confidence.
Open Conversations
Our women's health physiotherapists provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and receive compassionate, personalised care.

Common Questions About Women's Health Physiotherapy
How do I know if I need a pelvic health physiotherapist?
If chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful intercourse or difficulty with bladder and bowel control are affecting your daily life, pelvic health physiotherapy may be a helpful option to explore.
Many women also see us during pregnancy or postpartum for guidance on exercise, core recovery, and pelvic floor health.
How do I know if I may have a prolapse?
Prolapse may present with a range of symptoms, including a sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region, a bulging or dragging feeling, difficulty managing bowel movements or bowel control, and discomfort during intimacy.
Are there additional conditions your physiotherapists may assist with?
Our team’s experience extends beyond pelvic health to include musculoskeletal concerns such as back pain, hip pain, and pregnancy-related issues. We approach care holistically, with a focus on supporting your overall well-being and quality of life.
What does my first visit involve?
Your first appointment includes a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Your physiotherapist will then perform a thorough assessment, which may include:
- Posture and movement analysis
- Abdominal and pelvic examination (internal examination only with your consent)
- Real-time ultrasound imaging to assess your core and pelvic floor activation
We’ll then work together to put together a personalised treatment plan that is suited to your goals, needs, and comfort level.
Does women's health physiotherapy involve manual therapy?
As part of your treatment plan, manual therapy may be used to help address areas of tension or restriction in the pelvic region and surrounding musculoskeletal structures.
How much time should I set aside for a treatment session?
First appointments are usually around 60 minutes in length, incorporating a detailed consultation and physical assessment. Subsequent follow-up sessions generally take around 45 minutes, depending on the nature of your treatment plan.
Do I need a referral to see a pelvic health physio?
You do not need a referral to see one of our pelvic health physiotherapists. Simply book directly with our team. If you have been referred by your GP or obstetrician, please bring your referral along so we may coordinate care as needed.
Is there anything I need to do before my first session?
You don’t need to do anything special beforehand. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. If an internal examination is appropriate, your physio will discuss this with you in detail; it’s always optional and consent-based.
When might I begin to notice improvement from pelvic floor physiotherapy?
Progress varies from person to person and depends on your condition and goals. With consistent adherence to their home exercise program, many women may begin to notice improvement within three to six sessions.
We focus on long-term recovery and function, not just short-term symptom relief.
Can pelvic floor physiotherapy help during pregnancy or after childbirth?
During pregnancy, pelvic floor physiotherapy may help with the management of back or pelvic girdle pain, posture improvement, and physical preparation for birth.
After childbirth, we assist with abdominal separation recovery, pelvic floor strengthening, pain management, and return to exercise.
Can women's health physio support my recovery after pelvic surgery?
The recovery process following pelvic surgery may affect pelvic floor function, movement, and comfort in ways that standard post-operative care does not always address. Our team provides pelvic floor rehabilitation to help support your recovery at a pace that suits you.
How may women's health physio help with sexual health concerns?
Sexual health is a vital component of women’s well-being that is often not given the attention it deserves. Painful intercourse or pelvic floor muscle tension may affect your intimacy and quality of life in meaningful ways.
Our physiotherapists offer compassionate, evidence-based care in a judgment-free environment to help you address these health concerns.
Do you work alongside other health professionals?
Where appropriate, our experienced team works collaboratively with other health professionals, including GPs and obstetricians, to help your care stay coordinated and comprehensive. We believe that holistic care means looking at the whole picture, not just one piece of it.
Is pelvic floor physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is covered by most private health funds under Physiotherapy: Extras. If your general practitioner has referred you under an Enhanced Primary Care plan, you may also be eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per year. We are happy to help you check your eligibility at the time of booking.
How do you handle cancellations or rescheduling?
We understand that unexpected things come up. If you need to reschedule or cancel, we kindly request at least 24 hours’ notice to allow us to manage our appointments appropriately.
Please note that cancellations made within 24 hours or missed appointments may be subject to a cancellation fee, as your appointment time is held exclusively for you.
