Firstly, to reassure you that you are not alone. There are so many women that could benefit from the help and support that we can provide, but do not feel confident enough to bring this out into the open.
Women’s Physiotherapists have been specially trained to evaluate and treat all of the musculoskeletal issues that can affect women during their lifetimes. They also have a specialised understanding of the differences and the impact of hormones on their treatment and recovery. The concerns that we see are as varied and diverse of the women that have them and can include everybody from young women to post menopausal women.
Physiotherapy can improve the stability of the pelvis, which could help relieve pain and incontinence. This often means that it can prevent the need for surgery or medication.
Our skilled therapists would use a variety of techniques, including, but not limited to manual therapy, exercises and neuromuscular re-education to restore normal joint mobility, improve muscular balance and control and teach new movement patterns. Our focus is on rehabilitation and showing you how you can help yourself, while at the same time preventing any new injuries or problems.
Overall, our Women’s Health Physiotherapists empower women to understand how their bodies work and take charge of their own health.
