Physio Crows Nest

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.

Physiotherapy isn’t only for when an injury occurs. Attending regular physiotherapy sessions may help support more efficient movement, assist in managing muscle tightness, and contribute to improved posture, helping you maintain a healthier and more active life long term.

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.

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.

Both may be available to you. If your GP has prepared a chronic condition management plan and referred you for physiotherapy, Medicare covers up to five allied health sessions per calendar year, shared across all allied health services on that plan — your GP will confirm whether you’re eligible. If you hold extras cover that includes physiotherapy, your health fund will usually cover a portion of each consultation, with the amount depending on your level of cover and any annual limits. It’s worth checking 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.

A physiotherapy assessment can consider pelvic floor function, muscle tightness, coordination and the way you move when addressing urinary incontinence, bladder leakage or pelvic pain. Depending on your circumstances, care may include bladder habit education, pelvic floor exercises, breathing strategies and an individual exercise program.

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.

A referral is generally not needed to make a physiotherapy appointment. Your care may involve information and advice, personalised exercises, movement guidance or manual therapy, depending on your concerns and goals. Some private health funds may offer rebates for physiotherapy, subject to your cover and annual limits, so please confirm your eligibility with your provider.

Physiotherapy isn’t only for when an injury occurs. Attending regular physiotherapy sessions may help support more efficient movement, assist in managing muscle tightness, and contribute to improved posture, helping you maintain a healthier and more active life long term.A physiotherapist guides each class through structured exercises that may support strength, mobility, balance and everyday movement. Sessions can be modified for different abilities, health needs and goals, helping you take part safely and with confidence.
