Womens Health Physio Queenscliff
Every woman deserves to feel strong, comfortable, and confident in her body.
Women's Health Physio for Every Stage of Life
Do you experience back pain, bladder leaks, or core weakness following birth? Is pelvic pain or painful intercourse impacting your daily life or your sense of intimacy?
Women’s health is complex and deeply personal. At DX Physio, our experienced female physiotherapists offer tailored women’s health physio care designed to help you move with confidence, strength, and comfort.
The Conditions We Aim to Help Women Navigate
Our women’s health physiotherapy services are designed to support a wide variety of conditions, from pelvic floor issues to postnatal care and more.
How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy May Make a Difference
Many women come to us with ongoing back or hip pain that just never seems to go away. They may have tried stretches, massage, or general physio, but the pain keeps coming back.
One area that is frequently overlooked is the pelvic region. Pelvic muscles that are weak, tight, or out of balance, especially following pregnancy, menopause, or surgery, may have an impact on your posture, stability, and breathing.
This is where a tailored women’s health physio approach may make a difference:
Confidence and Comfort
Our holistic approach is designed to help you gain a deeper understanding of your body, build strength, and work toward feeling more comfortable and confident in yourself.
Life’s Changes
A woman's body changes significantly over a lifetime. Women's health physio may help you navigate each stage with greater ease.
Open Conversations
Our women's health physios offer a judgment-free space to talk openly and receive compassionate, targeted care.
Are you finding recovery after birth, surgery, or menopause challenging?
Our women’s health physios are here to help you on your journey towards feeling like yourself again.

Frequently Asked Questions About Women's Health Physiotherapy
What signs suggest I may benefit from seeing a pelvic health physiotherapist?
If you are experiencing chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful intercourse, or difficulty managing your bladder or bowel function, pelvic floor physiotherapy may be worth considering.
It is also common for women to visit us during pregnancy or postpartum to receive guidance on appropriate exercise, core recovery, and pelvic floor health.
What are the symptoms of prolapse?
Some common symptoms of prolapse may include a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area, a bulging or dragging sensation, challenges with bowel movements or bowel control, and discomfort experienced during intimacy.
Do you support conditions beyond pelvic health?
In addition to pelvic health conditions, our team has experience in supporting musculoskeletal concerns such as back pain, hip pain, and pregnancy-related issues. We take a holistic approach to care with a focus on improving overall quality of life.
What happens during my first appointment?
Your initial appointment will begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Your physiotherapist will then carry out 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
Following your assessment, we’ll collaborate with you to create a personalised treatment plan that reflects your needs and comfort level.
Does manual therapy form part of women's health physiotherapy?
Manual therapy may be incorporated into your treatment plan to help manage tension or restriction in the pelvic area and surrounding musculoskeletal structures.
How much time should I set aside for a treatment session?
Initial assessments usually take 60 minutes, as they include a detailed consultation and physical assessment. Follow-up sessions take around 45 minutes, depending on your treatment plan.
Do I need a referral to see a pelvic health physio?
A referral is not required to book an appointment with us. You are welcome to book directly. If you do have a referral from your GP or obstetrician, please bring it along so we can coordinate your care where appropriate.
Is there anything I need to do before my first session?
There is nothing specific you need to do to prepare for your first appointment. We suggest wearing comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. Should an internal examination be appropriate, your physiotherapist will walk you through what this involves; it is always optional and entirely consent-based.
How many sessions will I need before I start to see improvement?
This varies depending on your condition and goals. Most women may notice improvement within three to six sessions when following their home exercise program consistently.
Our approach is centred on long-term recovery and improved function, going beyond short-term symptom management.
Is pelvic floor physiotherapy beneficial during pregnancy or after giving birth?
Throughout pregnancy, physiotherapy may assist in managing back or pelvic girdle pain, supporting improved posture and helping to prepare your body for birth.
Following childbirth, our team may assist with abdominal separation recovery, pelvic floor strengthening, pain management, and a gradual return to exercise.
How may women's health physio assist following pelvic surgery?
Pelvic surgery recovery may impact pelvic floor function, movement, and comfort in ways that are not always covered by standard post-operative care. Our team offers pelvic floor rehabilitation to support your recovery at a pace that works for your body.
Can women's health physio support my sexual health?
Sexual health is a significant yet frequently overlooked aspect of women’s overall well-being. Painful intercourse or pelvic floor muscle tension may affect intimacy and quality of life.
Our team of physiotherapists is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a judgment-free space, supporting you in addressing these health concerns with sensitivity and respect.
Do you work alongside other health professionals?
When appropriate, our team works in collaboration with other health professionals, including GPs and obstetricians, to help ensure your care remains coordinated and comprehensive. We believe that truly holistic care requires looking at the whole picture, not just one aspect of it.
Can I claim pelvic floor physiotherapy through my health insurance?
Most private health funds cover pelvic floor physiotherapy under Physiotherapy: Extras. If you are referred under an Enhanced Primary Care plan from your general practitioner, you may also be eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per year. We can help you check your eligibility during booking.
How do you handle cancellations or rescheduling?
Life can be busy, and plans can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, we ask that you provide us with at least 24 hours’ notice where possible.
Please be aware that cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment, or missed appointments, may incur a cancellation fee, as your appointment time is reserved exclusively for you.
