What Is Women's Health Physiotherapy?

Women's health physiotherapy focuses on the physical health needs of women across all life stages, from adolescence and pregnancy through to menopause and beyond. It covers assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, musculoskeletal conditions related to hormonal changes, pre and postnatal rehabilitation, and a range of conditions that disproportionately affect women.

At Physio Inq, our AHPRA-registered women's health physiotherapists deliver care at home, in community settings or via telehealth, removing the barriers that can make accessing this type of care difficult. Appointments are conducted with clinical professionalism, sensitivity and respect for privacy.

Pelvic floor dysfunction, including incontinence and prolapse
Antenatal (pregnancy) physiotherapy and birth preparation
Postnatal rehabilitation and return to activity

How We Deliver Women's Health Physiotherapy

Physio Inq understands that privacy and comfort are especially important in women's health care. We offer three delivery options so support can be accessed in the way that works best.

In Your Home

Home-based women's health physiotherapy suits clients who prefer the privacy of their own environment, particularly new mothers recovering in the early postnatal period and women with mobility challenges.

Our physiotherapists bring all necessary equipment to home sessions, and every appointment is conducted with professionalism and discretion.

In Your Community

For clients who prefer to access care outside the home, we can arrange sessions in community settings.

We also deliver group-based pelvic floor and core rehabilitation programs in appropriate community environments.

Online (Telehealth)

Telehealth women's health physiotherapy is available for initial consultations, exercise program delivery, progress reviews and ongoing management.

It is effective for many aspects of women's health care, and suits clients in regional or remote areas and those managing busy family or work schedules.

Who We Support

Physio Inq's women's health physiotherapy services are available to women across all life stages, from pregnancy and the postnatal period through to older age. As a registered NDIS provider, we also support women with disability who require women's health physiotherapy, working within the participant's plan and coordinating with support coordinators where required.

During Pregnancy and After Birth

Our physiotherapists provide antenatal care to support physical wellbeing through pregnancy, including management of pelvic girdle pain, lower back pain and preparation for labour.

We also support new mothers through postnatal recovery, including pelvic floor rehabilitation, diastasis recti assessment and a graduated return to physical activity. Home-based sessions suit the early postnatal period, when leaving the house with a newborn can be challenging.

Women with Pelvic Floor Concerns

We work with women experiencing bladder leakage, pelvic prolapse, pelvic pain or bowel control concerns at any life stage.

Our physiotherapists take a thorough, evidence-based approach to assessment and provide practical, effective treatment.

Women Going Through Menopause

Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can significantly affect musculoskeletal health, including bone density, joint health and pelvic floor function.

Our physiotherapists provide targeted programs to support women through this transition.
