Is pelvic floor physio covered by health insurance? The answer is yes — and there are actually several different ways to reduce or offset the cost, depending on your situation.

Private health Extras. Medicare via a GP Management Plan. NDIS. Cost should never be the reason you don't get support for your pelvic health.

To every c section mum reading this 🤍🤍

You grew a human. You went through major surgery. You healed while also becoming someone’s entire world.

Whether your c-section was planned or emergency, whether it was the birth you hoped for or one that still takes time to process, it was not the easy way out. It was the way your baby was born.

There is nothing lesser about your birth.
Nothing missing.
Nothing you need to justify.

You made decisions, or had decisions made in moments that required strength most people will never fully understand. You trusted your body. You trusted your team. You showed up in the only way that mattered.

And then, while your body was still healing, you kept showing up.
Through the discomfort, the exhaustion, the emotional weight of it all.

You carried your baby, and you carried yourself through it too.

You are strong.
Your body is not broken.
Your birth is valid.

You are allowed to feel proud of the way you brought your baby into the world.

Pelvic organ prolapse affects 1 in 2 women who’ve had a baby. It’s one of the most common postnatal concerns - and one of the least talked about.

The heaviness. The pressure. The feeling that something isn’t right. If you’ve been experiencing this and wondering what it is - this video is for you!

Propose is not something you just have to put up with. With the right pelvic floor rehab, symptoms can improve significantly.

If this resonated with who’s and if you’re ready to take the first step - link in bio to book. New patients always welcome.

I strongly believe every woman should see a pelvic floor physiotherapist during pregnancy, not only those with symptoms.

Around 60% of women incorrectly contract their pelvic floor. That is a huge number of ineffective Kegels.

Pregnancy itself increases load on the pelvic floor. Even without symptoms, assessment matters.

I recommend a pelvic floor assessment early in the second trimester, ideally between 16 and 21 weeks. This gives you time to refine technique, build strength, and improve endurance before the demands of late pregnancy and birth increase.

Prevention is far easier than rehabilitation.

Perineal massage is an important step in your birth preparation. In most pregnancies, we recommend starting perineal massage between 34-36 weeks.

Perineal massage can reduce the risk of needing an episiotomy by 21% and reduce the risk of a 3rd or 4th degree tear by 64% 🤯😳

HOW TO:
⚡️Insert one finger into the va**na and pull out towards 5 O’Clock holding for about 30sec before repeating the same process at 7 O’Clock.
⚡️Next, maintain pressure as you sweep back and forth from one side to the other maintaining the firm pressure.
⚡️ It should feel uncomfortable but not painful.
⚡️Start by doing it for 5 minutes, 2-3 times per week.

** always check with your healthcare professional to ensure it’s safe for you to perform perineal massage.

Supportive garments can make a HUGE difference during pregnancy and postpartum, but choosing the right type matters.

Not all compression is designed to support the areas that need it most. The pelvic floor and abdominal muscles are under constant and increasing load throughout pregnancy, and the right garment can help reduce strain, improve comfort, and allow you to stay active with greater confidence.

Support through the pelvis helps reduce downward pressure on the pelvic floor. Support through the abdominals assists muscles that are being progressively lengthened.

Garments that address both provide the most effective, whole system support.

Pelvic health is not about waiting until something goes wrong. It is about understanding your body early, training it for the demands of life, pregnancy, birth and movement, and knowing what is normal and what is not.

Leaking is not inevitable.
Pain is not something you have to tolerate.
Your body is allowed to be strong.

Our care is built on knowledge, not fear.
Our support keeps you active, informed and in control.
