What is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy, also known as pelvic floor physio is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment, treatment and management of various conditions related to the pelvic floor muscles and structures in women. Women’s health physio’s address issues that are unique to the female body particularly concerning the pelvic region. The pelvic floor muscles play a crucial role in supporting the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus and bowl) maintaining continence and sexual function.

Our women’s health physiotherapists take the time to ensure you are given a personalised approach to treatment and to ensure you are fully comfortable and gain the most from your treatments with Advantage Healthcare & Physiotherapy. They are experts in treating a wide range of conditions from incontinence, pelvic pains, post surgical intervention, prenatal and postnatal pains as well as any general muscular ache associated with pregnancy or childbirth. They will give you a thorough assessment to identify what may be the issue, give you advice and treat the issue.

A thorough assessment is required as a lot of women’s health issues are multifaceted with multiple issues often culminating in your condition. If you would like to read more about some of the issues that we treat, clinic on the links below.
