Womens Health Physio Mosman
Every woman deserves to move, live, and feel well in her body.
Women's Health Physio for Every Stage of Life
Are back pain, bladder leaks, or core weakness after birth holding you back? Is pelvic pain or painful intercourse affecting how you live and connect with others?
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.
The Conditions We Aim to Help Women Navigate
Our women’s health physiotherapy programs are tailored to assist with a wide range of conditions, including pelvic floor concerns, postnatal care, and much more.
Ways Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy May Support 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.
What is often overlooked is the role of the pelvic region. When the pelvic muscles are weak, tight, or out of balance, particularly after pregnancy, menopause, or surgery, they may affect your posture, stability, and even your breathing.
This is where a tailored women’s health physio approach may make a difference:
Confidence and Comfort
Our holistic approach may help you develop a better understanding of your body, build strength, and work toward feeling truly comfortable in your own skin.
Life’s Changes
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.
Open Conversations
At DX Physio, our women's health physios create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can talk openly and receive compassionate, tailored care.

Your Women's Health Physiotherapy Questions Answered
What signs suggest I may benefit from seeing a pelvic health physiotherapist?
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 choose to see us throughout pregnancy or in the postpartum period for guidance on exercise, core recovery, and pelvic floor health.
What are the symptoms of prolapse?
Some common symptoms of prolapse may include a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area, a bulging or dragging sensation, challenges with bowel movements or bowel control, and discomfort experienced during intimacy.
Are there additional conditions your physiotherapists may assist with?
Beyond pelvic health, our team also has experience assisting with musculoskeletal concerns, including back pain, hip pain, and pregnancy-related conditions. Our holistic approach to care is centred around supporting your overall quality of life.
What should I expect at my first women's health physio appointment?
Your initial appointment will begin with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Your physiotherapist will then carry out 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
Following your assessment, we’ll collaborate with you to create a personalised treatment plan that reflects your 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.
How long is a typical treatment session?
First appointments are usually around 60 minutes in length, incorporating a detailed consultation and physical assessment. Subsequent follow-up sessions generally take around 45 minutes, depending on the nature of your treatment plan.
Do I need a GP referral to see a pelvic health physiotherapist?
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.
Is there anything I should do to prepare for my first session?
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 soon could I expect to see progress from my physiotherapy sessions?
Every woman’s journey is different, and the number of sessions required will depend on your condition and goals. Many women may begin to notice positive changes within three to six sessions when their home exercise program is followed consistently.
We focus on long-term recovery and function, not just short-term symptom relief.
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.
How may women's health physio assist following pelvic surgery?
The recovery process following pelvic surgery may affect pelvic floor function, movement, and comfort in ways that standard post-operative care does not always address. Our team provides pelvic floor rehabilitation to help support your recovery at a pace that suits you.
Is women's health physiotherapy able to support my sexual health?
Sexual health is a vital component of women’s well-being that is often not given the attention it deserves. Painful intercourse or pelvic floor muscle tension may affect your intimacy and quality of life in meaningful ways.
Our team of physiotherapists is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a judgment-free space, supporting you in addressing these health concerns with sensitivity and respect.
Can my women's health physio work alongside my 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 covered by insurance?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is generally covered under Physiotherapy: Extras by most private health funds. If you have been referred by your general practitioner under an Enhanced Primary Care plan, you may also qualify for a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per year. Our team can help you confirm your eligibility during the booking process.
What should I know about your cancellation policy?
We understand that life can be busy. If you need to reschedule or cancel, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice.
Please note that cancellations made within 24 hours or missed appointments may be subject to a cancellation fee, as your appointment time is held exclusively for you.
