Physiotherapy For Women
Physiotherapy For Women is a unique physiotherapy clinic, providing health care to women at every life stage. Here, you will be listened to, seen as a whole person, and guided with steps that make sense. As a women’s health physiotherapy and pelvic health physiotherapy clinic, our highly trained female physiotherapists take time to understand your story, explain options, and set goals with you.
Our approach to physiotherapy
Our generous consultation times give you space to share what matters and shape a plan you can use between visits. Our care spans skilled physiotherapy for muscles, joints, fascia and nerves, physiotherapy-led exercise classes, and pelvic health care for pelvic floor or bladder & bowel changes, prolapse, and pelvic or sexual pain. Your first appointment sets things in motion, with simple actions to try at home and a clear review time.
We’re here to support women’s health across every life stage; when you’re ready, we look forward to welcoming you.

Physio for women made simple
Listen and assess
You share what matters and what feels hard right now. We examine gently and map a first step. This gives you a calm starting point and a time for the next check-in.
Plan in writing
You want clarity, not guesswork. A clear Treatment Plan is discussed early and emailed after the first or second consult. This gives you clear steps and what to do between visits.
Treatment and practice
Support is delivered in the way that suits your week. We keep actions small and repeatable. This builds steady momentum without pressure.
Continuity of care
Clients usually see the same physiotherapist, with continuity explained if a change is needed. This keeps your plan consistent and predictable.
Review and adjust
Life changes; plans should too. We review progress and fine-tune next steps. This keeps results moving in the right direction.

What to expect at your first women’s health physiotherapy visit
When you arrive at our bluestone clinic with onsite parking you will be greeted by reception in a calm waiting area. Your physiotherapist meets you there, walks with you to one of four private rooms, and helps you settle. Sessions may include time in our inviting studio, which has three dedicated exercise spaces designed for learning at an easy pace.
New clients often have many questions: Will my pain ease? How many visits do I need? What will it cost? We will make sure we cover all your questions and talk about these early, as well as listening to your story and goals. Most new clients need a few consultations, depending on what’s going on and how long it’s been. We outline scheduling and fees clearly, then confirm a Treatment Plan that reflects your goals. That plan is emailed in the week of your first consult or after your second, with small steps you can use between visits.
