Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is now available at our Bowral clinic, with appointments on Mondays and Thursdays.
Our physiotherapy service supports both general musculoskeletal concerns and women’s health and pelvic health needs. Our focus is practical, evidence-based care that helps you understand what’s going on, feel confident in your plan, and return to the things you need (and love) to do.
Bookings are currently available in Bowral. We plan to expand physiotherapy across both locations over time.

What we can help with:

Physiotherapy can help if you’re dealing with pain, injury, reduced strength, or movement limitations — whether it’s new, persistent, or returning.
Common reasons people book in include:
  1. Neck, mid-back and low back pain
  2. Hip, knee, ankle and foot pain
  3. Shoulder pain and rotator cuff concerns
  4. Tendon pain and overload (including return-to-running support)
  5. Postural and movement-related pain
  6. Rehab after flare-ups, injuries, or periods of reduced activity

Women’s Health Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health)

Women’s health physiotherapy focuses on the pelvic region and the body changes that can occur through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause/menopause, and across life.
Appointments can support concerns such as:
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction (women and men)
  • Urinary leakage, urgency and frequency
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Pelvic pain and pain with intercourse
  • Constipation and bowel dysfunction
  • Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain
  • Postpartum recovery and return to exercise
If you’re unsure whether women’s health physio is the right fit, you’re welcome to book and we’ll help guide you to the most appropriate appointment type.

What to expect

Your first appointment with Maria is a supportive, respectful space to talk through what’s been happening and what you’d like to change. She’ll take the time to understand your symptoms, your health history, and your goals — whether that’s feeling confident leaving the house, returning to exercise, or simply being more comfortable day to day.
Your appointment may include:
  • A detailed history (symptoms, triggers, pregnancy/birth history where relevant, medical and surgical history, activity and lifestyle factors)
  • Assessment of posture, breathing, abdominal and pelvic region function, and movement patterns that may be contributing
  • Clear explanation of findings in plain language
  • A tailored plan that may include pelvic floor and strength exercises, bladder/bowel strategies, breathing and pressure management, and return-to-exercise guidance
Internal assessment may be offered only when clinically appropriate and only with your informed consent. External-only assessment and treatment options are always available, and you can change your mind at any time.
You’ll leave with practical next steps and a plan that fits your body, your stage of life, and your priorities.

No. Women’s Health Physiotherapy also supports pelvic floor issues, bladder concerns, and core function at any life stage, not just during or after pregnancy.

Physiotherapy, including Women’s Health Physiotherapy, is currently available at our Bowral clinic.

Most women benefit from a postnatal check with a Women’s Health physiotherapist from around 6 weeks after birth, though earlier is fine if you have specific concerns like pain or heaviness.

Yes, in the same way as osteopathy — the NDIS funds physiotherapy where it supports goals in your approved plan, such as movement, strength, coordination, or musculoskeletal pain and injury-prevention goals if these are included in your plan. Bring your current plan to your appointment so we can confirm what applies and, if needed, write to your case manager.
