PESSARIES ✨✨ A Vaginal Pessary is a soft silicone device that is placed inside the vagina. It is designed to support the Vaginal wall and assist the connective tissue that would normally provide support to the Pelvic Organs (Bladder, Uterus & Bowel). Pessaries can be used for women who have a Pelvic Organ Prolapse (feeling of heaviness or bulging in your vagina) as well as women who experience Stress Urinary Incontinence (think leaking when you sneeze, cough, run etc!) Vaginal Pessaries come in all shapes and sizes. You will often hear us refer to them as a Sports Bra for your Pelvic floor… they are there just to give us a little bit of extra support. We fit them to the individual depending on your concerns, severity of symptoms and degree of Prolapse. Because of this it can sometimes take a while to fit the perfect pessary for you. Yet once we get the correct size and fit, you shouldn’t even know the Pessary is there. If you would like help with your Pelvic floor symptoms or think that a Pessary may be a good fit for you, get in contact with us.

From a young age Lara loved sport and learning everything she could about the human body… the perfect recipe to become a Physio! Lara completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at the University of Canberra in 2016 and began her work as a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist.

NOCTURIA 🚽 Nocturia is defined as the need to urinate more than once per night, which is often caused by Polyuria (excessive Urine output), decreased bladder capacity or an increased fluid intake. It is a common sleep disturbance that is thought to affect up to 40% of the adult population. Unfortunately the prevalance of Nocturia increases as we age, with more than 70% of people over 70 being affected. As you can imagine this is extremely disruptive to their sleep cycle, as well as an increased risk of falls. Studies show that fall and fracture risk increases by 50% for people who urinate 2 or more times per night. Book an appointment today if you have Nocturia so we can help improve your quality of sleep. Love WIF 🤍🤍

Birth prep is a Physiotherapy service we offer from 34 weeks gestation with the aim to best prepare you and your body for your upcoming delivery. Women (and partners) typically attend some form of antenatal classes in the lead-up to the delivery, but we often find that due to the large group numbers, women still have numerous questions afterwards, particularly how this relates to them. This is where we come in. Our birth prep appointments are designed to discuss with the mother (and her partner if she chooses) their birth preference, concerns, fears and any other questions she might have. We focus on preparing the muscles, joints, connective tissue and nervous system for the physical challenge of labour and delivery, by optimising the Pelvis, Spine and Pelvic Floor. This appointment typically includes a Pelvic Floor assessment to better teach Perineal Massage and discuss other ways to prepare for the relaxation of your Pelvic floor muscles before delivery. By working with a Women's Health Physiotherapist during your pregnancy and in preparation for birth, we aim to improve your birth outcomes and provide you with strategies to give you the best chance of an optimal postpartum recovery. Our goal is to help you feel supported and empowered going into your birth.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW PHYSIO KATIE 🥰Katie has just joined our Bondi Junction clinic full time so we wanted to introduce her to everyone! Why did you become a Women's Health Physiotherapist? As women we are so busy with work, family and life that we quite often don't take the time for ourselves (whether that is time for exercise or time for our health). I like working in a space where my role is to swap this around and put women first! (Plus I am a big fan of having a chat and also getting our bodies moving so I am lucky that my job lets me do both). What motivates you? Food mostly haha In a work sense I am motivated by helping women achieve their goals, whatever they are and no matter how small. It makes my day when clients come in and tell me they started running again or simply got a good night's sleep! The role of a Physio can be quite physical and strenuous. What do you do to stay active and injury free? Like many of us I love pilates and do a mini pilates session most days. I also love to do anything outdoors, running, kayaking, hiking, skiing, swimming. I always feel good after some exercise and time in the sun. Did you set any health or fitness goals for 2023? I am working to build a more consistent strength based exercise routine this year for my bone health. I am also hoping to do a half marathon in May. 🏃 Tell us a fun fact about yourself: I have a twin sister 👭 To book an appointment with Katie give us a call on 9388 9083 Love WIF 🤍🤍🤍
