continence & women's health physiotherapy 

1 in 3 women live with incontinence.

Research shows many could be cured with treatment from an expert Physiotherapist.

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is a highly specialised area of Physio focused on significant improvements in quality of life. Our expert Physiotherapists with post-graduate training and advanced skills are able to accurately diagnose and treat many pelvic conditions including:

• Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
• Urinary Incontinence - 'leaking' often associated with exercise or coughing/sneezing
• Overactive Bladder - characterised by going to the toilet really often, needing to rush to the toilet, and sometimes not being able to hold on
• Prolapse - Pelvic Organ Prolapse - Often described as heaviness or dragging low in the pelvis. Many women with prolapse can manage their symptoms with Physiotherapy, avoiding surgery.
• Pessary Fittings - for the management of prolapse or stress incontinence
• Pelvic Pain - including painful intercourse, bladder pain, chronic pain
• Pelvic surgery - we work with your gynaecologist to provide rehab after prolapse repair, or hysterectomy. 
• Constipation
• Antenatal / Postnatal conditions including Rectus Abdominus Diastatsis ('abdominal separation'), pelvic floor weakness, episiotomy scar management (LASER), breastfeeding issues (LASER for damaged nipples & Ultrasound for blocked milk ducts & mastitis) etc
• Pelvic Floor Classes - small group physio for pelvic floor muscle strengthening

Our experienced Senior Physiotherapists are highly skilled in numerous assessment techniques, ensuring correct diagnosis and to determine all the contributing factors. This may include Real Time Ultrasound on your abdomen, Bladder Volume assessment, Urinalysis or internal Vaginal Exam. 

The most accurate assessment for your pelvic floor is often via a vaginal exam, where our Physiotherapists can also assess whether you have a prolapse. As with all physiotherapy assessments, our expert practitioners will determine the ideal assessment option and discuss the benefit of the procedure, answer all your questions and provide you with the option to consent to the recommended assessment.
