During your session you can expect a thorough assessment of the whole body and pelvic organs/pelvic floor. You will be provided with education on our findings, a strategy and plan on your diagnosis, and a specific exercise prescription where appropriate. You will also have the option for an assessment of the core and pelvic floor muscles using our real-time ultrasound.
Post-natal Check
After 6 weeks, we provide a post-natal check that goes for 60minutes.
In that session your:
- Stomach muscles will be assessed for any abdominal separation (Diastasis Rectus Abdominis)
- Pelvic organs will be assessed for any prolapse
- Pelvic Floor muscles will be assessed
- Whole body alignment will be assessed
- Findings from the above will then be explained and management will then be discussed
The Perfect Bra
Sometimes it is difficult to find the correct bra for yourself after experiencing pain or discomfort from either short-term or long-term injury, as well as post-surgery. De Bra’s have a dedicated wide range of bras that open from the front, which is such a relief if you have limited mobility, pain or strain in the upper body. They also stock a range of posture-support bras to reduce pain and discomfort frequently caused by a heavier bust. They are helping as many women as they can around Australia and offer fitting support with online orders like live chat and even virtual fittings with our in-store team.
We have teamed up with them and DeBras is offering $20 OFF, PHYSIO20 discount code to use at checkout.
