Women’s Health – practical pre and post-natal help.

Northcare provides physiotherapy management of women’s health issues related to pregnancy and childbirth, with aquatic classes run by an experienced physiotherapist.

Classes utilise Pilates and Yoga principles to incorporate strengthening, stabilising and flexibility work.  Our physiotherapists are able to liaise with your treating Doctor and Obstetrician regarding injury management peri-natally.

Our physiotherapists can also assist with neck, back and pelvic pain both pre and post-natally through hands-on therapy, exercise, and taping or external supports such as bracing.

Urinary incontinence management.

We provide practical help in this area. Real time ultrasound assessment can help patients gain better control of abdominal and pelvic floor muscles to assist with continence as well as lumbopelvic stabilisation.

We also offer post-natal strengthening programs that can be gym-based, delivered as Pilates or Hydrotherapy classes, or as home exercise programs.
