Do I need a GP referral for women's health physio from Marulan?

No referral is needed to book. Medicare rebates under a GP Chronic Disease Management plan do need a referral, and we also accept private, DVA, and NDIS funding. Worth confirming your pathway before the 26-minute drive down.

Is a single women's health physio visit worth the drive from Marulan?

Yes for the first assessment — pelvic floor checks need to be in person. Once your program is set, some follow-up sessions can run by phone, saving the 30-kilometre trip when a check-in is all you need.

Do I have to have an internal examination?

No. Internal assessment is only offered where it adds clinical information external assessment can't, and only ever with your informed written consent — you can decline at any point. External and self-assessment approaches are clinically valid for most cases, and the options are walked through before anything is offered.

I'm a few months postpartum and want to run again — where do I start?

With a postnatal check of pelvic-floor strength and coordination, abdominal wall, scar tissue, and lower-limb strength. Return to running follows recognised guidelines — staged impact through walking, intervals, then graded running once you hit the strength and continence benchmarks. The timeline comes from the assessment, not the calendar.

Local care

Women's health physio for Marulan residents.

Marulan sits where the Hume Motorway meets a working town of quarry shifts, freight runs, and young families putting down roots. It's a 26-minute drive south to our Goulburn clinic, roughly 30 kilometres, which for a household with a new baby usually means timing the trip around a feed or a car nap.

We see Marulan mums for the physical toll of early motherhood: abdominal separation, bladder leakage that turns up on the highway drive or standing at the school gate, and pelvic or rib pain carried through a late pregnancy. When you're ready, we also help plan the return to running and higher-impact activity, checking your pelvic floor and core can handle the load first.

You'll see the same physio at every appointment, so your recovery is tracked from the first assessment through to getting back on your feet — useful when a growing household doesn't slow down for anyone.

What we treat

What Marulan patients see us for.

Women's health physiotherapy is physio with extra training for the pelvic floor, abdominal wall, and how the body loads through pregnancy, birth, surgery, and the rest of life.
