Manual Therapy for Women at DX Physio
At DX Physio, we believe that every woman deserves care that is tailored to her specific needs. Our manual therapy services for women are designed to address the unique challenges women face during various life stages, from pregnancy and postnatal recovery to menopause and beyond. With a friendly and professional team, we ensure you feel supported, empowered, and confident in achieving your health goals.
What Is Manual Therapy?
It is a hands-on physiotherapy technique that involves the manipulation and mobilisation of muscles, joints, and soft tissues. It is particularly beneficial for women dealing with pain, stiffness, or mobility issues. By focusing on specific areas such as joint mobilisation, trigger point therapy, and soft tissue release, our physiotherapists aim to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Unlike other treatments, this therapy combines science and skill, offering women an effective solution for addressing both acute and chronic conditions. Whether you’re recovering from childbirth, managing pelvic girdle pain, or dealing with hormonal changes during menopause, our personalised approach to manualized therapy ensures optimal results.

Women Conditions We Treat
Our manual therapy techniques are effective in treating a range of conditions, including:
- Pelvic Girdle Pain:Often experienced during pregnancy and postpartum, pelvic girdle pain can significantly impact mobility. Manual therapy helps reduce discomfort and restore movement.
-
Chronic Pain Management:
For women dealing with ongoing pain, such as lower back or pelvic pain, manual therapy offers a non-invasive solution to improve function and reduce discomfort. -
Postnatal Recovery:
After childbirth, many women face issues like abdominal separation (diastasis recti) or pelvic floor weakness. Manual therapy can aid recovery and restore muscle function. -
Menopause-Related Joint Pain:
Hormonal changes during menopause can cause joint stiffness and pain. Manual therapy for chronic pain helps manage these symptoms and improve flexibility. -
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation:
If you’ve undergone a procedure such as a caesarean section, this therapy can support your recovery by reducing scar tissue and improving mobility.

Our Techniques
Our physiotherapists at DX Physio are skilled in a variety of techniques, including:
Trigger Point Therapy:
This technique focuses on releasing tension in specific areas of tightness, or “knots,” within the muscles. Trigger point therapy is particularly useful for relieving headaches, neck pain, and pelvic floor tension.
Joint Mobilisation:
Through gentle, controlled movements of the joints, we improve mobility and reduce stiffness. This is especially beneficial for women dealing with lower back pain or arthritis and is one of the best manual therapy effects.
Soft Tissue Mobilisation:
Soft tissue techniques help reduce muscle tightness and improve flexibility. It is a key component of our approach, particularly for addressing conditions like pelvic girdle pain.
Myofascial Release:
This involves applying sustained pressure to the fascia, a layer of connective tissue, to relieve tension and improve mobility. Myofascial release is commonly used for chronic pain conditions and post-surgical recovery.
