Women’s Health Physio Kiama.

A women’s physiotherapy session at Sunny Natal is tailored to your specific needs and health goals. Your session begins with a private consultation to discuss any symptoms or concerns, such as pelvic pain, incontinence, or postnatal recovery. Depending on your needs, the assessment may include an ultrasound to check pelvic floor function. You’ll receive personalised exercises, hands-on techniques, and guidance on posture and lifestyle adjustments to support improved pelvic health. Each session is designed to help you achieve lasting comfort, strength, and confidence in your body.

No, in Australia, physiotherapists, including women’s health physios, are first-contact practitioners, so you don’t need a referral. However, if your doctor or specialist has given you one, feel free to bring it along to your appointment. It can provide helpful background information for your physiotherapist.

During your first consultation, your physiotherapist will take time to thoroughly discuss your medical history and symptoms. If you're coming in for pelvic floor physio, expect detailed questions about your pelvic health, pregnancy, or post-natal recovery. If an internal examination is needed, your physiotherapist will explain why and ensure you are comfortable before proceeding.

Please bring the following:

• Any relevant medical reports or previous documentation related to your condition.

Having these on hand helps your women’s health physio get a complete picture of your health and ensures an effective treatment plan.

Our women’s health physios are trained in internal assessments and treatments, but this will only be done with your consent. During your session, your therapist will discuss if an internal assessment is recommended for your specific condition. Alternatively, we also use real-time ultrasound to assess pelvic floor function externally.
