Our approach to women’s health physiotherapy
We understand the physical, emotional, and lifestyle impacts of pelvic or musculoskeletal issues. Our approach to women’s health physiotherapy is centred on listening and providing personalised care to help you regain strength and feel empowered in your body.
Our physiotherapists take one hour for an initial assessment and 45 minutes for all follow-up appointments. We take the time to understand your unique presentation, including pelvic health, musculoskeletal function, hormonal influences, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your symptoms.
With advanced technology, private and comfortable treatment rooms, and a compassionate, evidence-based approach, our team is dedicated to supporting your wellbeing. With two clinics in Melbourne CBD, and a team of experienced physiotherapists specialising in women’s health, our goal is to guide you toward confidence and recovery at every stage of life.

Why our women’s health physiotherapy works
Effective women’s health physiotherapy combines specialised pelvic health treatment, hands-on manual therapy, and targeted rehabilitation. Manual therapy helps relieve pain, reduce tension, and restore optimal movement and function. Rehabilitation then focuses on rebuilding your strength, stability, and control to help you return to the activities and lifestyle you love.
A thorough and personalised program will restore and maintain your pelvic function, posture, and overall wellbeing.
