Women’s Health

 

We focus on supporting women in managing pelvic health concerns at every stage of life. Recognising that seeking help for these issues can be challenging, we want to assure you that there is a lot we have to offer. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based physiotherapy techniques that are effective in managing and resolving pelvic health issues.

Given the complex nature of pelvic health problems, we emphasise a comprehensive and holistic management approach. Our commitment is to work collaboratively with you, not only to alleviate the symptoms but also to identify and address the root cause of your condition.

We can assist you with:

  • Bladder problems – incontinence and urgency

  • Bowel Dysfunction – Faecal incontinence, difficulty emptying bowels and constipation
  • Recovery from abdominal or pelvic surgery

              Musculoskeletal Phyiotherapy

              We are experienced at treating all areas of the body at The Nest Physio. We are passionate about helping people recover from injury and getting them back moving, whether that is returning to netball after an ankle injury, preparing for a hiking trip or getting back to gardening after a knee replacement.

              We utilise manual techniques like massage, muscle energy techniques and dry needling and integrate this with exercise prescription and rehabilitation principles to ensure people achieve their goals. Sarah has a special interest in the management of spinal issues like neck, thoracic and back pain and pelvis issues like pelvic girdle (sacroiliac joint and pubic symphysis pain) and coccyx pain.
