What Is a Physical therapist?

A physical therapist specialising in women's health provides expert care for musculoskeletal and pelvic floor concerns throughout the childbearing years. During pregnancy, physical therapists help alleviate common discomforts such as lower back pain, sciatica, pelvic girdle pain, rib discomfort, and round ligament pain using safe, evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and postural education. After childbirth, they guide women through safe recovery of core and pelvic floor function, addressing issues like diastasis recti (abdominal separation), urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, perineal scar sensitivity, and C-section scar adhesions. Physical therapists develop individualised rehabilitation programs that progress from gentle activation exercises to full return-to-activity, exercise, and sport. Their goal-oriented approach helps women regain confidence in their bodies, eliminate pain, and return to the activities they love.
