DX Physio Balgowlah & Cremorne Sydney
Every woman deserves to feel strong, comfortable, and confident in her body.
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 a deeply personal and complex area of care. At DX Physio, our experienced female physiotherapists offer tailored women’s health physio programs to support your confidence, strength, and comfort in movement.
Our women’s health physiotherapy services are designed to support a wide variety of conditions, from pelvic floor issues to postnatal care and more.
It’s common for women to come to us after months or even years of dealing with back or hip pain that keeps returning, despite trying stretches, massage, or general physiotherapy.
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 women’s health physio may be able to support you:
Our holistic approach may help you understand your body better, build strength, recover faster, and feel truly at home in your body.
Throughout a woman's life, her body undergoes many significant changes. Women's health physio may help support you through each of these stages with greater ease.
Our women's health physios offer a judgment-free space to talk openly and receive compassionate, targeted care.
Struggling after birth, surgery, or menopause?
Our experienced women’s health physios are here to support you on your journey towards feeling more comfortable and confident in your body again.
We look for the root cause of your concerns to potentially better understand your needs and tailor care using a variety of different treatment options.
If chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful intercourse or difficulty with bladder and bowel control are affecting your daily life, pelvic health physiotherapy may be a helpful option to explore.
We also see many women during pregnancy or in the postpartum period for support with exercise, core recovery, and pelvic floor health.
Common prolapse symptoms may include a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region, a bulging or dragging sensation, difficulty with bowel movements or bowel control, and discomfort during intimacy.
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.
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:
Together, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that suits your needs and comfort level.
Manual therapy may be used as part of your treatment plan to help address tension or restriction in the pelvic area and surrounding musculoskeletal structures.
Initial assessments are typically 60 minutes long, allowing time for a detailed consultation and physical assessment. Follow-up appointments are usually around 45 minutes, though this may vary depending on your individual treatment plan.
You do not need a referral to see one of our pelvic health physiotherapists. Simply book directly with our team. If you have been referred by your GP or obstetrician, please bring your referral along so we may coordinate care as needed.
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.
Progress varies from person to person and depends on your condition and goals. With consistent adherence to their home exercise program, many women may begin to notice improvement within three to six sessions.
Our focus is on supporting long-term recovery and function, rather than simply addressing short-term symptoms.
Throughout pregnancy, physiotherapy may assist in managing back or pelvic girdle pain, supporting improved posture and helping to prepare your body for birth.
After giving birth, we may assist with your abdominal separation recovery, pelvic floor strengthening, pain management, and a safe, supported return to exercise.
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.
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.
Our physiotherapists provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive, judgment-free environment to help you work through these health concerns.
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.
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.
We understand that life can be unpredictable. Should you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, we kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice.
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.
No woman should have to navigate her health concerns alone. At DX Physio, we offer tailored women’s and pelvic health physiotherapy to help address your concerns and support you in reaching for your health goals.
Our qualified physiotherapists and welcoming environment are here to ensure you always feel heard, valued, and respected.
