Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and Exercises

  • Bladder and bowel weakness
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Pelvic girdle pain
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Bowel dysfunction
  • Faecal incontinence
  • Diastasis recti
  • Constipation

  • Pain during intercourse
  • The inability to stay active throughout pregnancy

Stay Strong & Healthy at Any Age

Our physiotherapists will sit down with you for an initial assessment to understand what you’re experiencing and formulate a treatment plan to strengthen your pelvic region with targeted exercises.

We will also give you a range of strategic pelvic floor exercises you can complete at home to achieve your desired results. We may feel that you require the services of a specialist Women’s Health Physiotherapist. If this is the case, we will suggest the best specialist for your concerns.

Abdominal Separation Treatment

Abdominal separation is quite common in a variety of pregnant women, but it’s important to get it treated to avoid it becoming any worse.

Our experienced physios will be able to measure any separation and offer a strategy of gentle exercises to strengthen your deep stomach muscles.

Strengthening these core muscles before or in the early stages of your pregnancy is a great way to minimise the risk of abdominal separation, so if you’re planning to try for a baby or recently found out you’re expecting, get in touch with us at Graceville Physio, Pain Slayers.

Treatment for Symptoms of Mastitis

If you’re about to breastfeed, are currently breastfeeding, or have just finished breastfeeding, you should be aware of the possibility of developing mastitis and how to recognise the symptoms.

A blockage in the milk duct can cause mastitis, a very painful condition that can stop the flow of milk and can result in inflammation in the surrounding breast tissues. If not treated, these symptoms worsen and often lead to infection, which must be treated using antibiotics.

If at-home remedies like resting, self-massage, or hot packs aren’t working, make an appointment with our team to start treatment and relieve the pain.

We also aim to educate expecting mothers about how to recognise the early symptoms of mastitis to be able to self-treat before the blockage – and associated pain – sets in.

Pregnancy Care and Antenatal Classes

We are committed to helping women through pregnancy ease the aches and pains of their changing bodies.​ We offer a variety of pregnancy physio treatments, including pilates, hands-on therapy and clinical exercise plans.

We aim to relieve or eliminate related back and pelvic pain to ensure you have the best, pain-free experience during your term.
We offer pilates-based antenatal classes to show you some appropriate exercises and how to keep your body healthy in anticipation of your new baby.

These exercise classes help to prepare your body for birth and give you strategies that can help you to birth your baby with less pain and trauma.

Our specific exercises will also help the baby to be positioned in a favourable position for going into labour. Additionally, we can advise you on how best to return to exercise after childbirth to ensure your body is ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Benefits?

One of the main benefits of pelvic floor therapy is its non-invasive nature, making it a first-line treatment option for many pelvic-related issues. Our patients often report improved control over bladder and bowel movements quickly after treatment.
By addressing both low and high-tone muscle disorders, our treatment offers a comprehensive approach to managing and improving pelvic health issues, including those experiencing sexual dysfunction, as it helps in improving comfort and performance.

What is Womens Health Physio?

It is the understanding, education, and treatment of issues that only affect women while pregnant, going through menopause, or aging. This can incorporate things such as treating abdominal separations, mastitis, or even pelvic floor issues. We have physiotherapists with an interest in treating concerns such as general pelvic floor issues, pregnancy-related back pain, postnatal recovery and mastitis. We do refer complicated pelvic floor issues and faecal incontinence to a specialist Physiotherapist with a special interest in this area.

Does pelvic floor therapy work?

Yes, it does. Like with anything, the earlier you start it, the better. Once our physiotherapists assess your condition, they can create a targeted treatment and exercise plan to help you see results quickly.
