Womens Health Physio Crows Nest

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.

Many women also see us during pregnancy or postpartum for guidance on 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.

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.

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

Together, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that suits your needs and comfort level.

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.

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.

There is nothing specific you need to do to prepare for your first appointment. We suggest wearing comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. Should an internal examination be appropriate, your physiotherapist will walk you through what this involves; it is always optional and entirely consent-based.
