Your physiotherapist performs a 6-week postnatal check that includes identifying abdominal muscle separation, mastitis, blocked ducts, bladder or bowel issues, pelvic pain or sexual dysfunction. We provide exercises that help prepare you for returning to work, as well as Mums & Bubs exercise classes.

​

Abdominal muscle separation

Separation of the abdominal walls is quite common in pregnancy. Diagnosis is made by physical examination and treatment involves a customised exercise program, as well as exercises and prescription of support garments as required.  

​

Mastitis/blocked ducts

If your physiotherapist diagnoses mastitis or blocked ducts, treatment consists of therapeutic ultrasound which help reduce swelling by increasing blood flow and improving lymphatic drainage. Reducing the pressure in your breasts also helps to decrease the pain associated with mastitis and blocked ducts.

​

Bladder issues

For both men and women, bladder issues can include urgency, frequency, waking at night to urinate (nocturia), incomplete emptying or an overactive bladder; men may also suffer from post-micturition dribble. Customised pelvic floor exercises can help to manage or treat all of these problems.

​

Bowel issues

Constipation, diarrhoea or problems emptying the bowel can be experienced by both men and women. A need to urgently rush to the toilet to empty your bowels, return quickly to the toilet or faecal soiling are all problems that can be managed and improved by a personalised pelvic floor muscle exercise program.

​

Pelvic pain

Women often experience pelvic pain due to trauma following childbirth, whilst for men it can be their prostrate. Treatment can involve further testing to establish the direct cause of your pelvic pain, as well as a customised pelvic floor exercise plan that’s tailored to your specific needs.

• Dyspareunia

• Vaginismus

• Vulvodynia

• Overactive pelvic floor

Exercise prescription

Physiotherapy treatments involve an exercise prescription that allows you to exercise safely. Exercise has been shown to hasten recovery following both injuries and surgery and can be a crucial part of your rehabilitation. Our experienced physiotherapists develop an exercise prescription that is perfectly tailored to your needs.
