When your pelvic floor muscles are not working efficiently, pelvic floor dysfunction can occur.
Your pelvic floor muscles play an important role in pelvic organ support, pelvic girdle and spinal stability, bladder and bowel emptying, continence and sexual function.
Examples of pelvic floor dysfunction are: urinary or faecal incontinence, urgency, pelvic organ prolapse, pain with in*******se, poor sexual desire, low back pain, pelvic joint or gluteal muscle pain.
Receive excellent advice from our pelvic health physiotherapists, who will guide you in a caring, professional manner following their clinical assessment. You can then be sure your pelvic floor muscle training will produce the positive changes you are wanting.

Every first-time mum has her fair share of questions and worries. That's where our empathetic women’s health physios step in, offering expert guidance and relief tailored for you.

Experiencing pain in your lower back, groin, hips, or abdomen when bending, standing, or lying down? This discomfort often stems from excess strain on your joints, muscles, fascia, and nerves, commonly linked to core and overall muscle weakness in your post-partum body. Our skilled physios can help mobilize tight muscles and joints, providing much-needed relief. Plus, we teach you easy back stretching and core strengthening exercises for effective self-management.

If you notice a bulge in your tummy when sitting or leaning forward, it could be Diastasis Re**us Abdominis. This is a separation of your midline tummy muscles, occurring during pregnancy. Postnatally, receiving safe and progressive core strengthening exercises from a trained women's health physiotherapist is crucial for your recovery.

Don’t let neck and shoulder pain hold you back! Many young mums report discomfort from holding their babies, thanks to the repetitive load on neck and shoulder blade muscles. Our expert physios are here to release tight muscles, mobilize neck vertebrae, and stretch those specific soft tissues for instant relief.

Ready to reclaim your comfort? Phone 08 8443 3355 to book an appointment with our dedicated women’s health physios today!
