Women’s Health Physiotherapy
Women’s bodies go through significant physical changes during pregnancy, after childbirth, and at different stages of life. At Physio Care Ringwood, our Women’s Health Physiotherapy service is designed to support you through these changes with expert, evidence-based care in a safe, welcoming environment.
All assessments and treatment are provided by an experienced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with a special interest and additional training in Women’s Health Physiotherapy.
How Women’s Health Physiotherapy Can Help
Pregnancy-Related Conditions
Pregnancy places increased demands on the body and can lead to pain, discomfort and movement difficulties. Physiotherapy can help manage and relieve symptoms, improve function and keep you moving confidently throughout pregnancy.
Common pregnancy-related conditions we treat include:
-
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and pelvic pain
-
Lower back and hip pain
-
Sciatica
-
Rib and upper back pain
-
Postural and movement-related discomfort
-
Guidance for safe exercise during pregnancy
Postnatal Physiotherapy
The postnatal period is a time of recovery, rehabilitation and adjustment. Physiotherapy can support your body as it heals and help you return safely to daily activities, exercise and sport.
We can help with:
-
Postnatal back, pelvic and hip pain
-
Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
-
Pelvic floor rehabilitation
-
Return-to-exercise and return-to-running guidance
-
Ongoing aches and strains related to caring for a newborn
Bladder Continence & Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Bladder leakage is common but not something you have to live with. With specialist training in pelvic floor rehabilitation, we offer discreet, professional support to help improve bladder control and pelvic floor function.
We can help with:

Stress incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing or exercise)
-
Urge incontinence
-
Pelvic floor weakness

Education, assessment and personalised pelvic floor exercise programmes
Exercise Guidance for Pregnancy & Postnatal Recovery
Staying active during pregnancy and after birth has many benefits, but it’s important to exercise safely and appropriately. We provide tailored advice and progressive exercise programmes to support:

All programmes are adapted to your individual needs, symptoms and stage of recovery.
