Women’s Health Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps restore function when you are affected by injury, illness or disability, through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.
It’s a science-based treatment that takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes your general lifestyle. At the core is your involvement, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in the treatment.
Naomi specialises in women’s health with focus on the following:
Antenatal and Postnatal Women
Our bodies are amazing, however creating another life puts an significant strain on a woman’s system. These pressures may present differently in different woman and may include:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic Girdle pain
- Low back pain
- Carpel Tunnel
- Diastasis Recti (Tummy Gap)
- Prolapse
- C-Section Scar Tissue
- Vaginal birth tear
Pelvic Health
We all have a pelvic floor, a unit of supportive core muscles which support the pelvic organs. The pelvic floor is required to relax as well as contract to provide the support your body requires. When these muscles are underactive or overactive it can present with the following symptoms
- Incontinence
- Extreme urgency and frequency to get to a toilet
- Feeling like you don’t fully empty your bladder
- Heaviness, dragging or bulging sensation from the vagina
- Painful sex
- Pelvic girdle and low back pain
- Many of these symptoms are “common” but not “normal”.
Menopause
This is phase in a woman’s life that is rarely discussed. despite this, many women will experience significant uncomfortable and unsettling physical symptoms which may last for many years. These physical symptoms may include:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic girdle pain
- Prolapse
- Joint pains
- Constipation
- Vaginal pain
With the right support, education and treatment many of these symptoms can be alleviated.

Spring is well and truly here. Do you feel the quickening of pace? Nature is bursting forth all around us and quite frankly the world feels a bit bonkers doesn’t it.
We need our brains to be able to take refuge within our bodies and rest a while, even during the busiest time of year. This is where acupuncture can be really helpful.
Most people think acupuncture is a physical treatment. However, most converts will tell you it’s the feeling of calm and zen followed by deep sleep that is one of the most enjoyable aspects.
I’ve got a new Garmin and am interested in how my body recovers from exercise. I was overjoyed to see it has acupuncture listed alongside yoga, breathwork and massage as one of the most calming and restorative things you can do. There is science!
The Acupuncture Collective is the perfect space to come and take an hour away from the buzz of life and tell Dr. Sunila and myself what’s going on with your brain and body and see if they can get everything working in more blissful coherence.
