Women’s Health physiotherapy, as its name suggests, refers to physiotherapy for conditions affecting women. The most common condition treated is female urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence can frequently respond to retraining the muscles of the pelvic floor. Natali has a special interest in women’s health physio and has completed extra training in this area, so if you suffer from incontinence, book in for an assessment today.
If you are concerned about exercise during pregnancy, this article is a good resource to read.
One of the most common conditions treated is female urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence can frequently respond to retraining the muscles of the pelvic floor. Ceridwen and Natali both have a special interest in women’s health physio (they’ve also both had 2 children each themselves!) and have both completed extra training in this area, so if you suffer from incontinence, book in for an assessment today.
The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has a great Q and A section on their website regarding urinary incontinence.
If you are experiencing any of these issues or would like to check or strengthen your pelvic floor muscles please contact us for further information and to book.
No. You can book directly with a Physiotherapist, Exercise Physiologist, Massage Therapist or Podiatrist without a referral.
But, if your treatment payment is part of a specific insurance, Dept of Veteran's Affairs, workers' compensation or Medicare program, a referral IS required.
Yes.
Please send it to us, ideally, before your first appointment. Your physio will write to your GP after the first visit to detail how we will work together with you to address your issue. At the end of treatment program, your physio will write again to the GP with a discharge summary.
Chronic Disease Management plans allow you a Medicare rebate for up to 5 visits over a 12 month period. You can choose which health professional you use those visits at. The 5 visit total is across all allied health disciplines though, unfortunately. So if, for example, you need to see a dietician and a physio for your condition, those 5 visits will be shared between the 2 practitioners.
If you use a care plan to subsidise your physio treatment, you cannot also use your private health fund for the same visit. Rehabilitation for complex conditions usually take greater than 5 visits to manage, and so if you have private health cover, you can use this to subsidise the treatments once you have used up your care plan.
No.
We provide at least a 30 minute appointment and up to 60 minutes for pelvic floor condition assessments. There is also associated paperwork which is a compulsory government requirement.
Medicare rebates do not adequately recompense for this time spent.
Yes, there is ample street parking right in front of the practice on West St, Burleigh Heads. It is 3P metered, so you can either use the "Easypark" app or pay at the machines. If you have a disabled sticker, displayed clearly, Gold Coast City Council don't expect you to pay for metered parking.
