Women’s Health and Physiotherapy

How is physiotherapy different for women?

Women’s Health is a specialised area of Physiotherapy. It focuses on the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor and musculoskeletal issues associated with women in all stages of life, from adolescence to pregnancy, birth, post-partum, menopause and beyond. Women’s health physiotherapy involves extensive training and experience in order to help women effectively.

Problems that are typically treated by a Women’s Health Physiotherapist include

  • Sexual pain
  • Urinary incontinence, urgency, frequency or prolapse

  • Mmastitis

Our Physiotherapy clinic in Kalamunda has a fully equipped Clinical Pilates gym which we use for tailored exercise programs to get you back to sport after a birth or to help get those pelvic floor muscles working again.

What to expect during a consultation

“Complete Wellness Physiotherapy provide an exceptional physiotherapy service. The one on one consults, comprehensive assessment and subsequent treatment plan I’ve been given have not relieved pain and addressed the underlying cause of my symptoms. Ongoing education is clearly a priority for these physios. Very happy with treatment and service. Highly recommended!”
