Women's Health Physio Crows Nest

Physiotherapy is not only beneficial for managing existing injuries. It may also help you develop a better understanding of your body, improve your posture, and move more efficiently, which may in turn help reduce the risk of future injuries.

The potential benefits of physiotherapy extend beyond injury management. Regular physiotherapy may assist you in moving more efficiently, managing muscle tightness, and working toward better posture, all of which may support a healthier, more active lifestyle over time.

Women’s health physio takes a broad approach to women’s pelvic and physical wellbeing. Care may relate to pregnancy, recovery after having a baby, menopause, pain or continence concerns, while pelvic health physiotherapists support women across Sydney from early motherhood through to later life.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is one part of women’s health physiotherapy. It focuses on assessing and supporting the pelvic floor muscles, which help support the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs. Women’s health physiotherapy has a broader focus and may address concerns across different life stages, although pelvic floor assessment can form part of an appointment when appropriate.

The first visit includes a detailed discussion about your symptoms, health history, any births or surgeries, what has changed and the outcomes you hope to work towards. We will assess movement and function, then talk through a plan tailored to your circumstances. Nothing will happen without your consent, and questions are welcome throughout the appointment.

You may be able to claim through Medicare or private health insurance, depending on your circumstances. A GP-prepared chronic condition management plan can provide Medicare coverage for up to five allied health appointments in a calendar year, with those sessions shared across the allied health services included in the plan. Eligibility should be confirmed with your GP. Extras cover that includes physiotherapy may pay part of the consultation fee, although this depends on your policy and remaining annual limit. Checking with your fund beforehand can help clarify your benefits.

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.

You can usually arrange to see a physiotherapist without a referral from another health professional. After discussing your needs, treatment might include education, individually selected exercises, movement strategies and manual therapy. Private health fund extras cover may contribute to the consultation if physiotherapy is included in your policy. Check the details with your fund before booking.
