Is the 39-minute drive from Tarago worth it for one appointment?

For your first visit, yes — pelvic floor assessment is done in person. From there we build a plan you can follow at home, so return trips from Tarago's 42 kilometres are spaced out, not weekly.

Does Medicare cover women's health physio for Tarago patients?

Medicare rebates apply with a GP Chronic Disease Management plan and referral. We also accept private health cover, DVA, and NDIS funding, so it's worth checking which pathway fits before you book.

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 Tarago residents.

Out past the wind farm, Tarago is a spread-out community of farming families and Woodlawn workers, where a health appointment usually means setting aside the best part of a day. The trip to Goulburn takes about 39 minutes via the Goulburn–Tarago Road, roughly 42 kilometres, so we try to make each visit count with a clear plan rather than frequent check-ins.

We treat the pelvic floor and core load that comes with farm work and physical jobs: bladder leakage, pelvic pain, and pelvic organ prolapse, alongside pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain and recovery after birth, including abdominal separation and scarring. For Tarago's working households, we build a program you can follow between visits, with the same physio assessing your progress each time you're in.

That continuity matters when the drive means every appointment has to earn its place.

What we treat

What Tarago 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.
