Womens Health Physio Naremburn
Because every woman deserves to feel confident in her body.
Women's Health Physiotherapy at Every Stage of Life
Are you struggling with back pain, bladder leaks, or core weakness after birth? Is pelvic pain or painful intercourse affecting your daily life or intimacy?
Women’s health is complex and deeply personal. At DX Physio, our experienced female physiotherapists offer tailored women’s health physio care designed to help you move with confidence, strength, and comfort.
Conditions We May Support Women With
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
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.
What’s often missed is the pelvic region. When the pelvic muscles are weak, tight, or out of balance, especially after pregnancy, menopause, or surgery, they can affect your posture, stability, and even your breathing.
This is where women’s health physio may be able to support you:
Confidence and Comfort
Taking a holistic approach, we aim to help you understand your body better, build strength, and support your recovery so you may feel more at home in your body.
Life’s Changes
The female body changes considerably over the course of a lifetime. Women's health physiotherapy may help you navigate these changes with greater comfort and confidence.
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.

Answering Your Women's Health Physiotherapy Questions
When should I consider 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.
It is also common for women to visit us during pregnancy or postpartum to receive guidance on appropriate 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?
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.
What can I expect during my first visit?
Your first appointment includes a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Your physiotherapist will then perform 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
From there, we’ll work together to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and comfort level.
Does women's health physiotherapy involve manual therapy?
Manual therapy may be incorporated into your treatment plan to help manage tension or restriction in the pelvic area and surrounding musculoskeletal structures.
What is the usual duration of a treatment session?
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.
Can I book a pelvic health physio appointment without a referral?
A referral is not required to book an appointment with us. You are welcome to book directly. If you do have a referral from your GP or obstetrician, please bring it along so we can coordinate your care where appropriate.
Is there anything I need to do before my first session?
You don’t need to do anything in particular to prepare for your first visit. Comfortable, easy-to-move-in clothing is all we recommend. If an internal examination is deemed appropriate, your physiotherapist will explain everything clearly. Participation is always optional and consent-based.
How many sessions does it typically take to notice improvement?
This varies depending on your condition and goals. Most women may notice improvement within three to six sessions when following their home exercise program consistently.
Our approach is centred on long-term recovery and improved function, going beyond short-term symptom management.
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.
After childbirth, we assist with abdominal separation recovery, pelvic floor strengthening, pain management, and return to exercise.
How may women's health physio assist following pelvic surgery?
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.
How may women's health physio help with sexual health concerns?
An important but often under-discussed area of women’s well-being is sexual health. Painful intercourse or tension in the pelvic floor muscles can have an impact on intimacy and overall quality of life.
Our physiotherapists provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a supportive, judgment-free environment to help you work through these health concerns.
Can my women's health physio work alongside my other health professionals?
Where it is clinically appropriate, our team collaborates with other health professionals, including GPs and obstetricians, to support coordinated and comprehensive care. We are committed to a holistic approach that considers your overall well-being, not just a single aspect of your health.
Is pelvic floor physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is covered by most private health funds under Physiotherapy: Extras. If your general practitioner has referred you under an Enhanced Primary Care plan, you may also be eligible for a Medicare rebate for up to five sessions per year. We are happy to help you check your eligibility at the time of booking.
How do you handle cancellations or rescheduling?
We understand that unexpected things come up. If you need to reschedule or cancel, we kindly request at least 24 hours’ notice to allow us to manage our appointments appropriately.
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.
