How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy May Make a Difference

We often see women who have been living with ongoing back or hip pain for some time. They may have tried a range of approaches, stretches, massage, and general physio, yet the pain persists.

What is often overlooked is the role of the pelvic region. When the pelvic muscles are weak, tight, or out of balance, particularly after pregnancy, menopause, or surgery, they may affect your posture, stability, and even your breathing.

This is where a tailored women’s health physio approach may make a difference:

Confidence and Comfort

Taking a holistic approach, we aim to help you understand your body better, build strength, and support your recovery so you may feel more at home in your body.

Life’s Changes

The female body changes considerably over the course of a lifetime. Women's health physiotherapy may help you navigate these changes with greater comfort and confidence.

Open Conversations

Our women's health physiotherapists are committed to providing a judgment-free space where open conversations are welcomed and compassionate, targeted care is always offered.

Frequently Asked Questions About Women's Health Physiotherapy

How do I know if I need a pelvic health physiotherapist?

Pelvic health physiotherapy may be appropriate if you are living with chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful intercourse, or challenges with bladder and bowel control.

Many women also see us during pregnancy or postpartum for guidance on exercise, core recovery, and pelvic floor health.

What does prolapse feel like?

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.

Do you support conditions beyond pelvic health?

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 can I expect during my first visit?

At your first appointment, your physiotherapist will take time to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and goals in detail. A thorough assessment will then be performed, 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

From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and comfort level.

Can manual therapy be part of my women's health physiotherapy plan?

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.

What is the usual duration of 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.

Is a referral needed to book a pelvic health physiotherapy appointment?

No referral is required. You can book directly with us. However, if you have a referral from your GP or obstetrician, please bring it along so we may coordinate care as needed.

What do I need to know before attending my first appointment?

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.

How many sessions will I need before I start to see improvement?

Every woman’s journey is different, and the number of sessions required will depend on your condition and goals. Many women may begin to notice positive changes within three to six sessions when their home exercise program is followed consistently.

At DX Physio, we are committed to supporting long-term recovery and function, not just providing short-term symptom relief.

Can pelvic floor physiotherapy help during pregnancy or after childbirth?

Throughout pregnancy, physiotherapy may assist in managing back or pelvic girdle pain, supporting improved posture and helping to prepare your body for birth.

After childbirth, we assist with abdominal separation recovery, pelvic floor strengthening, pain management, and return to exercise.

Can women's health physio help after pelvic surgery?

Recovering from pelvic surgery may affect pelvic floor function, movement, and comfort in ways that aren’t always addressed in standard post-operative care. Our experienced team offers pelvic floor rehab to support your recovery at a pace that suits your body.

Can women's health physio support my sexual health?

An important but often under-discussed area of women’s well-being is sexual health. Painful intercourse or tension in the pelvic floor muscles can have an impact on intimacy and overall quality of life.

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 it is clinically appropriate, our team collaborates with other health professionals, including GPs and obstetricians, to support coordinated and comprehensive care. We are committed to a holistic approach that considers your overall well-being, not just a single aspect of your health.

Is pelvic floor physiotherapy claimable under private health insurance?

Most private health funds include pelvic floor physiotherapy under Physiotherapy: Extras. Should you have a referral from your GP under an Enhanced Primary Care plan, you may be eligible for a Medicare rebate covering up to five sessions per year. We can assist you in checking your eligibility when you book.

What should I know about your cancellation policy?

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 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.
