Pelvic Health & Women's health Physiotherapy

Empowering You Through Every Stage of Pelvic Health.

At Raglan Physiotherapy, we’re proud to have not just one, but two experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapists on our team. Tess, our Advanced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, also offers pessary fitting and management, allowing us to provide a higher level of care for those needing specialised support.

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy focuses on the muscles, joints, and connective tissues in and around the pelvic area. Concerns in this region can often be linked to issues in the hips, groin, or lower back, which may affect both men and women. Our team takes a holistic approach to assess and treat these interconnected areas.

Pelvic health challenges commonly arise during and after pregnancy. We offer prenatal and postnatal care for a range of concerns such as abdominal muscle separation, pelvic organ prolapse, lower back or pelvic pain, leg discomfort, incontinence, voiding difficulties, and pelvic floor weakness or tearing. Our treatment plans are designed to relieve symptoms and help you safely rebuild strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing after giving birth—all within a supportive and understanding environment.

Pelvic Health & Women's health Physiotherapy

Empowering You Through Every Stage of Pelvic Health.

Many of our therapists have first-hand experience in pregnancy and all of our physiotherapists are experienced in the management of conditions that arise during and following pregnancy. This may include lumbo-pelvic issues, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome and joint and tendon stresses.

We incorporate a variety of techniques which include Pilates-based exercise, craniosacral techniques, massage, exercise and bracing.

Our physiotherapists can prescribe specific exercises that work to strengthen the Pelvic floor, deep abdominal, hip and pelvic muscle slings which are under new and increased loads through pregnancy.  Maintaining good abdominal and pelvic floor control throughout pregnancy not only helps to relieve pain associated with pregnancy but helps to maintain spinal and pelvic stability which can facilitate a faster post natal recovery.

​We will provide a thorough assessment both pre and post partum and provide you with advice and management strategies to reduce discomfort and ease the journey both prior and following the delivery of your pepi. We can provide you with safe exercises to assist with the changes which occur during pregnancy and accelerate the recovery following labour. We can also lodge any maternal birth injuries with ACC on your behalf.
