About Women’s Health
This is a very broad area that covers both pregnant and non-pregnant women (pre and post birth).During pregnancy, the body goes through a number of (radical) changes, that it is not necessarily ready or prepared for. Just consider some of the changes, adding mass & weight, enhanced fluid retention and laxity in certain support structures as the body prepares for birth. This often causes significant discomfort and pain. Typical conditions include symphysis pubic dysfunction, sacro-iliac joint dysfunction, back pain, carpal tunnel and sciatica.
For the non-pregnant, physiotherapy can play a significant role in helping recover and reduction following multiple diseases or interventions including: Abdominal surgery, Hysterectomy, Incontinence and a minor prolapse in the pelvic area. In breast cancer patients, there is often significant swelling resulting from lymphoedema which physiotherapy can also help with.
