Women’s Health Physiotherapy services
We provide a range of services, with highly experienced and welcoming practitioners.
Initial Women’s Health Physiotherapy consultation (60 minutes)
These sessions allow time for you to discuss concerns, needs and primary goals with our experienced Women’s Health Physiotherapists. Your Physiotherapist will ask questions in order to understand your history and symptoms, then help you to understand the cause of your symptoms. They will develop an achievable, realistic plan that may include hands-on treatment and home-based activities or exercises.
Follow up Physiotherapy consultation (45 or 30 minutes)
This is an opportunity to follow up on your initial consultation, address any new issues that arise, ask questions and continue treatment. We can also make any necessary adjustments to any home activities or exercise programs. Follow-up consultations are either 45 minutes or 30 minutes depending on how much time you need.
Return to exercise or running consultation
Ideal for after surgery or postnatally, this consultation will assist you to safely return to exercise, activity or running. Our qualified Physiotherapist will assess any pain or movement issues, and work with you on a plan to get you moving again.

What to expect from your consultation
During your consultation, your therapist will take a detailed history and examination including an internal examination of your pelvic floor (if you are comfortable with that). We will explain what we find and formulate an individualised treatment plan together with you to help guide your journey.
Treatment may include joint and soft tissue work, scar massage, pelvic floor exercises/rehabilitation, musculoskeletal exercise rehabilitation, use of biofeedback or electrical stimulation and education so you know what’s happening and how you can support your body.
We create a caring environment so you feel comfortable and confident coming to us with these sensitive issues. If you would like to discuss any questions prior to making an appointment we are happy to talk with you over the phone.
All services are available without a referral. However, an initial consultation is required for us to understand your needs. Call us at Currimundi 07 5337 9853 or Forest Glen 07 5391 4929 for more information
