Georgia at Flexifit Physio has been fantastic in managing my acute shoulder and neck issue. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and her treatment approach is both effective and genuinely supportive.

Physio Review I can’t recommend these two sisters highly enough! They are incredibly hands-on and skilled, and after each session, I can genuinely feel the blood flow improving. I always leave feeling so much better. I thoroughly enjoy my physio sessions and make sure not to be late because I know how beneficial they are. Beyond their expertise, they’re also super friendly, making every visit a great experience. Their boutique clinic in Collaroy has such a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for top-notch physios who truly care, this is the place to go!

Georgia has been able to massively reduce the neck and back pain that had developed due to long hours I spent sitting at a desk and hunched over one screen or another. I had also developed a reduced range of motion and stiffness and tightness in my neck. Georgia has significantly improved that as well. I highly recommend Georgia! She also happens to be smart, funny, open-minded, and very warm and welcoming.

The girls at FlexiFit have literally put me back together. Whilst still a work in progress; the difference from when I started going to them, to now, is chalk & cheese. Not to mention the incredible customer service & the genuinely kind people Tess & Georgia are. I highly HIGHLY recommend them for all your needs !!

Hands down the best physio experience I’ve ever had! Georgia and Tessa are absolute incredible —super kind and just really great people to be around. I came in feeling pretty rough, and the difference after my sessions has been amazing. I’m moving so much better and feeling stronger already. They really take the time to understand what you need and make the whole process easy and enjoyable.

Georgia and Flexifit physio are the absolute bomb. I had a bunged AC joint in my shoulder and bursitis. I had immense sharp pain and could not do anything that I usually did. After a few sessions from Georgia and doing (only half) the rehab myself that she suggested,😝 my shoulder is back to 100%. And I am back surfing every day and able to play the drums again. I could not have done it without her physical manipulation skills and Motivational advice. Thank you so much For helping me avoid surgery.

Fantastic service from both Georgia and Tessa. Always very accommodating of last minute changes. Always have a smile on their faces and a friendly and professional demeanor. Top notch service, highly recommended.

I’ve seen both Tessa and Georgia on and off for years; they’re the BEST. Both of them are so knowledgeable when it comes to finding the right spots to release tension. You also get a great chat, they are genuinely interested in their clients. You’ll need to take a deep breath when they hit those tricky spots but it’s worth it, I’m addicted!!

I highly recommend Georgia and Tessa for anyone seeking professional and effective physiotherapy care. I’ve been a patient of both for many years and they have helped me (and my kids) through some pretty gruelling pain and injuries. They take the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explain the treatment plan in a way that is easy to understand. The exercises and treatments provided are tailored specifically to my needs, and I notice significant improvement in my pain and mobility after just a few visits. Both Georgia and Tessa are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly caring making each session a positive experience.Thank you to both for your excellent care.

Georgia has been amazing! Always friendly and up for a chat. But most importantly she certainly knows her stuff not only fixing issues but helping prevent them as well. Highly recommend.

To put it simply, FlexiFit is the best physiotherapy I've been to. I would highly recommend to any family or friends. Tessa and Georgia are amazing; always getting me back into shape for my next soccer game after an injury. Throughout my numerous injuries, they know exactly what my body needs, and they are super accommodating as when my schedule changes they fit me in when an appointment opens up. They are genuinely lovely people, they always make me feel safe and comfortable in appointments.

I was referred to Georgia by an Orthopaedic Surgeon following an elbow fracture. I couldn’t be more happy with Flexifit - my elbow is improving each week and the practice is a pleasure to visit.

Georgia could not have been more caring and wonderful with our 13 year old daughter. Her treatments were not only effective but she also offered lots of great advice and a plan for going forward. Georgia also treated me and it was so good I only needed one session. Can’t recommend FlexiFit highly enough. Thanks Georgia! 🙏🏻💙

I had the slipped disc for couple of days and I wasn’t able to move around at all, the pain was unbearable. I came to George and fix me up in no time! I had a couple of sessions with her to make sure I’m fully fixed. I couldn’t be more grateful enough for Georgia. I’m really glad I came to this place ❤️ Highly recommended!

Knowledgeable and cost effective treatment

Georgia is a brilliant physio. She quickly diagnosed my problem and worked on a plan with me to get me moving again.

Georgia was awesome treating me when I was experiencing quite severe knee pain - she gave me a series of exercises as well as her treatment strategies with a very successful result. Thank-you so much Flexifit

Georgia provides exceptional service and has helped me immensely with my chronic lower back issues and degenerative arthritis. She works hard to keep my pain managed and provides me with knowledgeable advice specific to my injuries. If you are seeking a physio who truly cares and works hard to target specific issues, then look no further; it's so great to walk out of her clinic with complete relief.

I have been attending this practice since they opened and have had no hesitation in recommending Flexifit to my friends. Georgia and Tess are both professional women and the studio is so calming, beautifully spotlessly clean. It’s a treat to attend their business. The work they both do is amazing.

Flexifit is absolutely brilliant! Georgia has been my Physio for the past couple of months and she has been helping me with neck pain/migraines and knee pain. She has provided me with incredible hands-on physical support, as well as a specific and structured at-home exercise plan, that she created and adjusted based on my circumstances. Alongside the actual Physiotherapy aspect, the team at Flexifit have always been super accommodating towards my work schedule and have been happy to shuffle around appointments at the last minute. They are amazing and I can’t thank Georgia enough!

The ladies here do the best work of any physio I’ve ever been to and I’ve visited a few. Not only are they great at their job but they are nice to chat with as well. Definitely recommend them but just don’t come and steal my appointments! 😁

Georgia has treated me for three separate issues over the last four years - both in Gordon and now Collaroy I have been impressed with her competency and professionalism on each occasion. My local GP in the upper North Shore was so impressed with how well Georgia has treated my latest issue, he took all her details and said he was thinking of referring his patients that were prepared to travel from the upper North Shore to Collayoy.

Thank god I found this place. I have been suffering for years with neck and back pain, after playing baseball for years, and being a brow and lash artist for the last 5 years, I was constantly in pain and my posture was terrible. Georgia has been working her magic on me for a few months now and I have never felt so good. I can actually move my neck freely now without pain, and Georgia has given me some fantastic advise on how to best manage my training sessions with my personal trainer and the way in which I sit during work. The studio is so clean and provides a relaxing environment, and Georgia and her sister are so lovely and knowledgeable.

I have seen Georgia for a very troublesome shoulder issue I had for years. I am not able to explain adequately how impressed I am with the final result. I still cannot believe I have a pain free shoulder. Thank you Flexifit 🙏.

For the past few months I have had the pleasure of receiving physiotherapy treatment from Tessa at FlexiFit Physiotherapy in Collaroy for an ongoing neck & back issue, and I must say it has been an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere, which immediately put me at ease. Tessa demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise throughout my sessions. She took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, listening attentively to my concerns and addressing them with the utmost care. Her extensive knowledge and understanding of the human body were evident in her ability to accurately diagnose and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. What truly impressed me was Tessa’'s ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. She patiently guided me through each step of the treatment process, ensuring that I understood the purpose and benefits of each exercise or technique. This not only empowered me to actively participate in my own recovery but also instilled a sense of trust and confidence in her abilities. I am delighted to say that thanks to Tessa's expertise and guidance, I have experienced significant improvement in my condition. Her holistic approach, combining manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education, has not only alleviated my pain but also equipped me with the tools to prevent future injuries. I highly recommend FlexiFit Physio to anyone in need of physiotherapy services. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their patients make them an outstanding practitioner in their field. I am very grateful for the positive impact they have had on my health and well-being.

I can’t recommend the team at Flexifit highly enough! I’ve had chronic shoulder problems for 2 years and seen other specialists which hadn’t solved the problem. Tessa at Flexifit sourced the problem and after the first session, my shoulders were sitting aligned - the first time that’s happened in 2 years. I felt validated with the pain I was in and feel so much more positive about my treatment pathway with Flexifit.

Georgia’s brilliant and excels in all the areas I want from a physio - diagnosing/figuring out the prob, massage and physical work, and then exercises to do at home to help long term. Worth the 40 minute drive!

I've been seeing Georgia and Tessa from FlexiFit for the last year, and they have both been outstanding. They are caring, compassionate and highly skilled. They have assisted me with managing multiple injuries and I've referred several members of my family who are equally impressed with their services! Thank you, Georgia and Tessa, you guys are amazing!

Great experience helping with my ACL recovery, would recommend

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 🙌🏻

Georgia and Tessa are both friendly and professional and have helped fix my injuries and get me moving again. They are very hands on and I highly recommend them

The girls at FlexiFit are simply amazing. So kind, friendly, understanding and knowledgeable. They know exactly what my body needs. My neck pain has improved dramatically since going here. Love my visits!

Why Women’s Health Physiotherapy Is So Important

Women’s health physiotherapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy that focuses on the unique health needs of women throughout their lives. From puberty to pregnancy, menopause to beyond, women experience a range of physiological changes that can impact their overall health and wellbeing. 

Women’s health physiotherapy provides a holistic and personalised approach to addressing these changes, helping women manage their symptoms, prevent health issues and improve their quality of life. In this article, we’ll explore why women’s health physiotherapy is so important and the many benefits it can offer.

What Is Women’s Health Physiotherapy?

Women’s health physiotherapy is a non-surgical treatment effective for all pelvic floor disorders. Symptoms like constipation, incontinence, vaginal prolapse and painful sex can be treated with physiotherapy. Additionally, physiotherapy is useful in treating medical conditions during pregnancy and after birth in women.

The female pelvic floor, composed of a group of muscles, provides the ability to support the baby during pregnancy. The contraction of pelvic floor muscles helps maintain continence, whereas the relaxation allows healthy bowel movements, urination, sexual intercourse and childbirth. 

Women face two types of pelvic floor problems: hypotonic and hypertonic

  • The hypotonic pelvic floor is a condition where muscle tone is low and is incapable of supporting normal pelvic functions. In hypotonic conditions, pelvic floor muscles become too weak and cannot properly stabilise and position your pelvis to support healthy bladder and bowel function.
  • Increased muscle tone is a characteristic feature of a hypertonic pelvic floor. In the hypertonic pelvic floor, muscles naturally become tighter. Women might have a harder time relaxing and have pain during intercourse.

 

Any symptom of incontinence is unpleasant to deal with, especially if it prevents you from engaging in your favourite activities. Women with hypertonic pelvic floor experience more pain when inserting tampons or during gynaecological tests. Whether you’re trying to go up and down stairs or exercise, women with a hypotonic pelvic floor typically experience more incontinence symptoms. Both of these physical predispositions can have several different effects on your day-to-day activities, so it’s important to find a treatment that best meets your needs.

Benefits of Physiotherapy for Women

Physical therapy benefits all females, from young athletes to women with children, menopausal women and older women. Physiotherapy for women benefits the following: 

  • Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the inability to control urine flow. It is also known as an overactive bladder. Weakness in the pelvic floor muscles as a result of injury, pregnancy, surgery or inactivity causes urine leakage. 

  • Pre and post pregnancy physiotherapy

Physical therapy can also be used to treat pain in the pelvic region, lower back, ribs and thoracic region, as well as headaches, stiff necks, weak pelvic floor muscles, leg cramps, weak bladder muscles and abdominal muscles in pregnant women.

  • Antenatal physiotherapy

Physical therapy during pregnancy is referred to as antenatal or prenatal physiotherapy. It includes pelvic girdle pain treatment, childbirth education (relaxation techniques) and yoga practice.

  • Postnatal physiotherapy

Physical therapy after pregnancy is referred to as postnatal physiotherapy. It includes strengthening of the pelvic floor and rectus diastasis treatment. Rectus diastasis treatment helps rebuild the abdominal wall and improve core activation after childbirth. Postnatal physiotherapy also includes connective tissue therapy and caesarean scar treatment, which help women recover from C-sections. 

  • Obesity and its associated disorders

Women’s health physiotherapy is also useful in managing and preventing obesity in women. Obesity is usually associated with restricted body movement, thereby impacting the person’s physical activity. Physiotherapy treatment for obese women helps them lose weight in a controlled and safe environment. Additionally, it helps overcome ailments associated with obesity, such as knee pain, back pain, etc. 

  • Osteoporosis

Postmenopausal women are more likely to develop osteoporosis. Bone-strengthening exercises are of the utmost importance when it comes to maintaining the health of osteoporotic bones. In postmenopausal women, physiotherapy reduces the likelihood of bone fractures and prevents additional bone loss. 

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

The medical condition known as PCOS affects women and occurs when the ovaries produce multiple undeveloped eggs that eventually form cysts on the ovaries. Genetic tendencies and hormonal imbalances often result in PCOS. Physiotherapy helps women lose weight gained as a result of lower insulin levels and oestrogen storage in adipose tissue. Hence, physiotherapy is also used to alleviate the symptoms of PCOD. 

What Does A Women’s Health Physiotherapist Do?

A women’s health physiotherapist is a healthcare professional who specialises in addressing the unique health needs of women at different stages of their lives. They provide assessment, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of conditions related to women’s health, with a particular focus on the female reproductive system and pelvic health. They also offer education, guidance and support to help women maintain their overall health and prevent future health issues.

Women’s health physiotherapists can help women manage a variety of conditions, such as: 

  • urinary incontinence
  • pelvic pain
  • sexual dysfunction
  • pelvic organ prolapse
  • pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain. 

 

Women’s health physiotherapists use a combination of techniques to address these conditions, including manual therapy, exercise prescription, education and lifestyle advice. They work closely with their patients to develop personalised treatment plans that address their specific needs and goals. By providing specialised care that focuses on women’s health, women’s health physiotherapists play a critical role in supporting women’s overall health and wellbeing.
