Physio Cammeray

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 physiotherapy covers the changing needs women may experience with pelvic health, pregnancy, postnatal recovery and menopause, including associated pain or continence issues. Our pelvic health physios see women throughout Sydney at all stages of life, from first-time mums to those navigating menopause and beyond.

Women’s health physiotherapy covers a wider range of concerns, including pregnancy, postnatal recovery, menopause, pelvic health and related pain or continence issues. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is more specifically centred on the muscles that support the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs. The two areas can overlap, so a women’s health appointment may include a pelvic floor assessment where it is relevant to your symptoms and goals.

At your initial visit, we will discuss your current concerns, relevant birth or surgical history, changes you have noticed and your health goals. This is followed by an assessment of how your body moves and functions, which helps guide an individualised care plan. Treatment only proceeds with your consent, and you can ask questions at any stage.

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.

Medicare support may apply when your GP creates a chronic condition management plan and refers you for physiotherapy. Eligible patients can access up to five allied health sessions per calendar year, shared between the allied health services listed on the plan. Your GP can confirm whether you qualify. If your private health fund extras policy includes physiotherapy, it may contribute towards each consultation, subject to your level of cover and annual limits. Contact your fund before attending to check what you can claim.

Physiotherapy may support a broad range of concerns, including back or neck pain, sports injuries, joint pain, muscle strains, headaches, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, postnatal recovery, bladder concerns, bowel changes, incontinence, prolapse and rehabilitation after surgery or injury. Your care is shaped around your symptoms, needs and personal goals.

For bladder leakage, urinary incontinence or pelvic pain, physiotherapy may begin by looking at how the pelvic floor muscles work, including their strength, tension, timing and coordination with movement. Support may involve pelvic floor training, guidance about bladder habits, breathing techniques and exercises selected for your needs.

If it is clinically appropriate, your physiotherapist may recommend a physical examination. An internal assessment is only undertaken with your informed consent. Physiotherapy may also support bowel symptoms, pain during intercourse and pelvic organ prolapse, with the approach shaped around 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.
