At The Physio House Townsville, we recognise that women’s health requires specialised care at different stages of life. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy, recovering postpartum, or managing pelvic floor concerns, our women’s health physiotherapy services provide personalised support. With our highly qualified physiotherapist Kiara, now trained in women’s health physiotherapy, we are proud to offer tailored treatments to help women maintain optimal health and wellbeing.

What is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy that focuses on the unique needs of women throughout various stages of life. From pregnancy-related issues to pelvic floor dysfunction and postmenopausal care, these treatments aim to address the specific health challenges women face.

Kiara, our experienced physiotherapist, has completed her qualifications in women’s health and is now offering dedicated services to support ladies in the Townsville area. Her expertise ensures that women receive the care they need in a comfortable and supportive environment.

Common Women’s Health Conditions We Treat

Our women’s health physiotherapy services at The Physio House cover a wide range of conditions and concerns, including:

• Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Weak or tight pelvic floor muscles can cause a range of issues, including incontinence, pelvic pain, or prolapse. Kiara provides personalised treatment plans to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor, improving function and reducing discomfort.

• Pregnancy and Postpartum Care: Pregnancy places unique demands on a woman’s body, and physiotherapy can help manage pain, improve mobility, and prepare for labour. Postpartum care focuses on helping women recover after birth, restoring pelvic health, core strength, and managing any postnatal issues such as diastasis recti or pelvic floor weakness.

• Incontinence: Bladder or bowel leakage can occur for various reasons, but it’s not something you have to live with. Our specialised exercises and treatments aim to restore control and reduce incontinence issues.

• Prolapse Management: Pelvic organ prolapse is a common concern for women, particularly after childbirth or menopause. Kiara can provide exercises and advice to help manage symptoms and prevent further issues.

• Pre and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: If you’re undergoing gynaecological surgery, physiotherapy can help you recover more effectively, improving your strength and mobility post-operation.

• Menopause-Related Concerns: The transition into menopause can bring changes such as pelvic discomfort, incontinence, or musculoskeletal issues. Kiara offers strategies to help manage these changes and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.

What to Expect from Women’s Health Physiotherapy

At The Physio House, we prioritise a respectful, supportive, and comfortable approach to women’s health. Each session with Kiara is tailored to your specific needs and goals, ensuring a personalised experience. Here’s what you can expect:

• Comprehensive Assessment: During your initial session, Kiara will take the time to discuss your concerns, medical history, and symptoms. This may include a physical examination to assess your pelvic floor, posture, or musculoskeletal function. Any assessment is done with your comfort and privacy in mind.

• Personalised Treatment Plan: Based on your assessment, Kiara will create a treatment plan designed to address your individual needs. This may include exercises to strengthen or relax the pelvic floor, postural corrections, manual therapy, and education on lifestyle adjustments that support your overall health.

• Home Exercise Programme: To ensure you continue progressing between appointments, you’ll receive a home exercise programme (HEP) that complements your in-clinic sessions. Kiara will guide you through these exercises to ensure you’re confident in performing them correctly at home.
