Physiotherapist’s can play a strong role in the area Women’s Health
We are qualified to treat areas of antenatal and postnatal musculoskeletal concerns such as back and pelvic pain, core weakness, posture and alignment issues, separation of abdominal muscles and pelvic floor concerns.
We can help you to graduate your return to activity and sport without pain or pelvic floor issues. Our real time ultrasound machine can be used to show your core muscle activation and help you learn how to recruit these muscles properly to prevent pain and injuries.
We can also assist in incontinence and bladder re-training with exercises and education regarding your pelvic floor function.
We are also very excited to be holding our Prenatal Care Class Series!
