Womens Health Physio Allambie Heights
Every woman deserves to feel strong, comfortable, and confident in her body.
Women's Health Physiotherapy at 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.
Conditions We May Support Women With
At DX Physio, our women’s health physiotherapy services may help support a wide variety of conditions, ranging from pelvic floor issues to postnatal care and more.
What Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy May Do For You
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 may help you understand your body better, build strength, recover faster, and feel truly 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 provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can speak openly and receive compassionate, personalised care.
Struggling after birth, surgery, or menopause?

Answering Your Women's Health Physiotherapy Questions
How do I know if pelvic health physiotherapy is right for me?
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 symptoms may vary, but commonly include a sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region, a bulging or dragging feeling, difficulty with bowel movements or bowel control, and discomfort during intimacy.
Are there additional conditions your physiotherapists may assist with?
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 should I expect at my first women's health physio appointment?
Your first appointment includes a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Your physiotherapist will then perform 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
We’ll then work together to put together a personalised treatment plan that is suited to your goals, 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?
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.
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.
How should I prepare for my first physiotherapy 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 does it typically take to notice improvement?
The number of sessions needed will vary depending on your individual condition and goals. Many women may begin to notice improvement within three to six sessions, particularly when their home exercise program is followed consistently.
Our focus is on supporting long-term recovery and function, rather than simply addressing short-term symptoms.
Can pelvic floor physiotherapy help during pregnancy or after childbirth?
During pregnancy, physiotherapy may help manage back or pelvic girdle pain, improve posture, and prepare your body for birth.
In the postpartum period, we may support you with abdominal separation recovery, pelvic floor strengthening, pain management, and a guided 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.
Is women's health physiotherapy able to support my sexual health?
Sexual health is an important but often overlooked aspect of women’s well-being. Painful intercourse or pelvic floor muscle tension can affect intimacy and quality of life.
In a welcoming, judgment-free environment, our physiotherapists deliver compassionate, evidence-based care to help you address these important health concerns.
Do your physiotherapists collaborate with other health professionals?
Where appropriate, our experienced team works collaboratively with other health professionals, including GPs and obstetricians, to help your care stay coordinated and comprehensive. We believe that holistic care means looking at the whole picture, not just one piece of it.
Is pelvic floor physiotherapy claimable under private 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?
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.
