Physio Allambie Heights

Beyond managing existing injuries, physiotherapy may also play a valuable role in helping you understand how your body moves, supporting better posture, and improving movement efficiency. This approach may assist in reducing the likelihood 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.

Women’s health physio is the broader umbrella, while pelvic floor physiotherapy looks specifically at the muscles that support your bladder, bowel and pelvic organs. Women’s health appointments may involve some element of pelvic floor assessment, because those muscles influence so much of how your body moves.

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.

If you have a chronic condition management plan from your GP, Medicare may cover up to five allied health sessions each calendar year when you are referred for physiotherapy. The five sessions are a combined allowance across the allied health services under that plan, and your GP will advise whether you meet the eligibility requirements. A private health fund may also contribute if physiotherapy is included in your extras cover. The contribution varies according to your cover and annual limits, so confirm the details with your fund before your appointment.

Some of the common conditions treated by our physiotherapists include back and neck pain, sports injuries, joint pain, muscle strains, headaches, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, postnatal recovery, bladder concerns, changes in bowel movements, incontinence, prolapse and rehabilitation following surgery or injury. Treatment is tailored to your symptoms, needs and individual 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.

Your appointment may include a physical examination when clinically appropriate, and an internal assessment can be considered only with your informed consent. Physiotherapy may also assist with concerns including bowel symptoms, pain during intercourse and pelvic organ prolapse, while taking account of your symptoms, goals and comfort.

In most cases, you can book a physiotherapy appointment without a referral from other health professionals. Depending on your needs, treatment may include education, tailored exercises, movement strategies and manual therapy. Physiotherapy may also be eligible for rebates through some private health funds, depending on your level of cover. We recommend checking directly with your provider.
