Is women's health physio worth it for an 18-minute drive from Run-O-Waters?

Yes — at around 12 kilometres, it's one of the shorter trips to our clinic, which makes it realistic to keep up regular postnatal or pelvic floor sessions without much disruption to school runs or work.

Do I need a referral to see a women's health physio?

No referral is required to book an appointment. If you want to claim under Medicare's Chronic Disease Management plan you'll need one from your GP; private, DVA, and NDIS funding don't require a referral.

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 Run-O-Waters residents.

Families on Run-O-Waters' acreage blocks are close enough to town to make the trip an easy one — about 18 minutes across the western edge of Goulburn, roughly 12 kilometres, whether you're coming from a lifestyle block or heading in before the school sport run.

That short drive makes it realistic to keep up a proper program after birth: checking abdominal separation and scarring, working through bladder leakage or pelvic pain, and rebuilding strength before you're back on the sideline or lifting kids in and out of the car. We also assess pelvic pain conditions such as endometriosis and vaginismus, and support pregnancy-related back, pelvic, and rib pain for women juggling a block, a commute, and school-age kids.

The same physio sees you every visit, so a short drive still means real continuity of care.

What we treat

What Run-O-Waters 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. It's AHPRA-registered, consent-led, and the same physio across every appointment — assessment and treatment for bladder leakage, prolapse, pelvic pain, and recovery around birth.
