Womens Health Physio Seaforth

If you have been living with chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful intercourse, difficulty controlling your bladder and bowel function, pelvic physiotherapy may be helpful.

We also see many women during pregnancy or in the postpartum period for support with exercise, core recovery, and pelvic floor health.

Prolapse may present with a range of symptoms, including a sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region, a bulging or dragging feeling, difficulty managing bowel movements or bowel control, and discomfort during intimacy.

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.

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

We’ll then work together to put together a personalised treatment plan that is suited to your goals, 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.

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.

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.
