Our Services
Women's Health Physiotherapy Services in Sydney
At Active Physiotherapy, we provide specialised, evidence-based care for women at every stage of life. From pregnancy and postpartum recovery to pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction, our personalised treatments support recovery, improve function, and enhance quality of life.
Understanding Women's Health Physiotherapy
Women’s health physiotherapy is specialised care focused on the unique needs of women throughout their lives.
We address conditions affecting the pelvic region, including pelvic floor dysfunction, incontinence, prolapse, and pregnancy-related conditions. We also treat menopause-related musculoskeletal conditions and assist with rehabilitation post-hysterectomy or after breast cancer treatment.
Our holistic approach combines evidence-based techniques with compassionate care to help women regain control, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life. Whether you’re preparing for childbirth, recovering postpartum, or managing chronic pelvic issues, our specialised therapy offers effective solutions tailored to your needs.
Our Specialised Services
We offer comprehensive women’s health physiotherapy including pelvic floor rehabilitation, pregnancy and postpartum care, return to exercise guidance in the post natal period, bladder and bowel health management, pelvic pain treatment, and specialised exercise programs including Clinical Pilates.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
We provide personalised pelvic floor rehabilitation based on a comprehensive assessment. Our treatments help restore muscle function, reducing symptoms like leakage or urgency so you can regain confidence and enjoy daily activities.
Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
We support you through pregnancy by addressing back, thoracic, and pelvic girdle pain, and preparing you for birth. Postpartum, we focus on recovery, core strengthening, and managing diastasis recti and pelvic floor weakness, helping you return to exercise and motherhood with strength and comfort.
Bladder and Bowel Health Care
We treat bladder and bowel issues like urinary incontinence, urgency, frequency, and constipation. Through behavioural techniques, bladder retraining, dietary advice, and pelvic floor exercises, we help you regain control and confidence in a discreet, supportive environment focused on lasting solutions.
Pelvic Pain Management
Pelvic pain can stem from causes like pelvic girdle dysfunction, pregnancy-related changes, and endometriosis. We conduct thorough assessments to identify the source and create targeted treatment plans using manual therapy and specific exercises, aiming to reduce pain, improve function, and support an active, comfortable lifestyle.
Exercise Programs and Pilates
Our specialised exercise programs and Clinical Pilates focus on core stability, pelvic floor integration, and whole-body strength. Tailored to your needs—whether recovering from childbirth, managing pelvic pain, or building preventative strength—these sessions improve posture, reduce pain, and enhance functional movement for daily activities.
What to Expect During Your Women's Health Physiotherapy Appointment
Your first visit starts with a private, detailed discussion about your concerns, symptoms, and medical history. With your consent, we’ll then conduct a thorough assessment, which may include examining your posture, movement patterns, and pelvic floor function.
We understand these assessments can feel daunting, so we explain every step, ensure your comfort, and proceed only with your permission. You’re always in control of your session.
Based on our findings, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan and begin treatment. Our warm, judgment-free environment encourages questions and ensures you feel supported throughout your healing journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions do women's health physiotherapists treat?
We treat pelvic floor dysfunction, incontinence, pregnancy-related pain, postpartum recovery, endometriosis-related pelvic pain, pelvic girdle dysfunction, constipation, pre/post-gynecological surgery rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal pain from breast cancer treatment.
Do I need a GP referral to see a women's health physiotherapist?
No referral is necessary—you can book directly with us. However, a GP referral may be beneficial for comprehensive care and potential Medicare rebates under the Enhanced Primary Care Program.
What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes like yoga pants or shorts. For pelvic floor assessments, we provide privacy garments and thorough explanation beforehand.
Will I need to make lifestyle changes to improve my TMJ condition?
There will likely be some home exercises to do to retrain your jaw. There will often be some changes to your sleeping or working setup, which can help your jaw change faster.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment varies by condition—typically 4-6 sessions for straightforward issues, while complex conditions may require ongoing care. We’ll outline expectations during your first appointment.
Will my private health insurance cover women's health physiotherapy?
Most private health funds cover women’s health physiotherapy under “extras” coverage. Benefits vary by policy—we recommend checking your specific fund’s physiotherapy entitlements before attending.
