Women’s Health

Are you on the lookout for a qualified women’s therapist for yourself or someone? Choose FlexiFit as a one-stop solution for all your physiotherapy needs, including women’s health physiotherapy.

What is women’s health physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy that initially evolved from the clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. This clinic focuses on the care for women relevant to childbirth, both before and after the delivery. It was soon realised that this area was too narrow to fit the concept of women’s health; thus, it expanded to include all the health concerns for women that they face throughout their lifespans.

Now, all women, from adolescent athletes to pregnant women to elderly women, receive several benefits from participating in women’s physiotherapy. But still, many women shy away from discussing these problems.

The need for women’s health physiotherapy

According to research:

  • 1 in every 9 women experiences problems with bowel control
  • 1 in every 3 women endures the pelvic and sexual aches
  • 1 in every 3 women undergoes urinary leakages
  • 1 in every 2 women suffers from prolapse symptoms

Either these problems are not voiced out, or they are considered minor problems that do not need treatment. This is where our healthcare system fails to provide enough resources for women suffering from these issues. If not dealt with the right way at the right time, these issues can become massive problems that would need lifestyle changes at best and surgeries at worst. And you do not want to be in this cycle. Thus, physiotherapy treatment at the right time could make all the difference in the world.

I can commend Georgia and Tessa for their excellent hands-on approach. So many physios nowadays are often hands-off, so being treated at FF has been a refreshing change 🙌🏻

The team at FlexiFit Physio are exceptional practitioners who genuinely care about the outcomes for their clients. When you book with Georgia or Tessa you know you have their full attention for the session, they are not juggling multiple clients and their hands on therapeutic approach is seamless and extremely effective to reduce pain and enable progression from injury. I can not recommend them more highly. Thanks guys!

My experience at FlexiFit Physiotherapy has been truly exceptional, and I would wholeheartedly recommend both Georgia and Tessa to anyone in search of effective support for managing persistent pain conditions. Both Georgia and Tessa have been integral to my journey in addressing both acute knee pain and long-standing issues with back pain, tension headaches, and migraines. In the past, my interactions with healthcare professionals haven't always yielded lasting results. However, the level of attentiveness and authentic care they've shown for my overall well-being and the underlying causes of my pain are clearly reflected in their hands-on approaches, follow- up care and advice and healing strategies. I feel so lucky to have found this practice.

These girls saved my day! Professional & friendly service… despite being fully booked, they were quick to respond & help me on the first possible cancellation! Felt so bad with vertigo, was off balance and literally needed support & help to get into the rooms, walked out a different person, independent & without help… just amazing!

I’ve been seeing firstly Georgia and then Tessa at Flexifit Physiotherapy since I moved to the area early in 2022. I went there initially because I wanted a physiotherapist in the Collaroy area, but then I stayed because they really help. They have always listened to my various problems, asked questions and then worked using both hands-on therapy and have given me exercises to do at home to complement the treatment, making sure I knew what I was doing and doing it correctly. You get their undivided attention for the whole appointment and it never feels like you are being rushed through as just another body to be treated and that they’d rather be somewhere else. Thank you and long may you keep up the good work!!!

Highly recommend the professional, personalised and friendly service delivered by both Tessa and Georgia. I sort after their expertise to alleviate back/shoulder/neck aches. Their hands on treatment style is effective and worth a visit. I feel like I have a new lease on life after an appointment.

Sisters are doing it... After years of uncomfortable aches and twinges I was referred to FlexiFit. Georgia is my therapist and I'm ecstatic to report no more sleep deprived nights and an improved range of movement in my shoulders and overhead. Coupled with an arsenal of exercises for prevention. I give you 5/5 Georgia - Thank you, so very much
