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.
