What is a women's health physio?

Use this definition to understand the support before you compare practitioners or book an appointment.

Women's health physio

Pelvic floor and core specialist

A physiotherapist who specialises in the parts of your body most affected by pregnancy and childbirth - your pelvic floor, core, and hips. They treat problems like leaking when you sneeze, pelvic pain, prolapse, or diastasis recti using gentle exercises and hands-on techniques.

Questions to ask before booking

Ask

How many weeks postpartum should I wait before my first appointment - and is there value in coming antenatally too?

Ask

Does an internal pelvic floor assessment happen at the first appointment, and is that something I can opt out of?

Ask

How many sessions do most women with my symptoms need before they see real improvement?
