What a women's health physiotherapist does
Women's health physiotherapists work with the pelvic floor and the musculoskeletal changes of pregnancy and recovery. That covers bladder and bowel control, pelvic and back pain, abdominal separation, prolapse, and returning to exercise after birth.
Women see one during pregnancy for pelvic girdle pain or pelvic floor preparation, and after birth for recovery. Leaking, heaviness or pain are common after birth but they are not something you have to live with, and they respond well to treatment.
Referrals, fees and Medicare
You can book directly, though a GP care plan is needed for any Medicare rebate.
Physiotherapy is usually paid privately or through an extras policy. Medicare may cover part of a small number of visits a year if your GP writes a chronic disease management plan, which not everyone will be eligible for.
