Women’s Health
Our experienced practitioners can offer assessment and treatment within our women’s health clinic relating to health, pregnancy, postnatal difficulties, incontinence and any sexual or reproductive concerns. We can also offer tailored, personalised care during pregnancy to delivery and beyond.
Bare Motion has women’s health and continence physiotherapists who specialise in the rehabilitation of pelvic muscles. The pelvic floor muscle sits at the base of the pelvis and are important for bladder and bowel continence, low back/pelvic and pelvic organ support as well as sexual function. They may be stretched and weakened by pregnancy, childbirth or heavy lifting and even hormonal changes during menopause. In men prostate surgery can result in pelvic floor dysfunction.
Pelvic floor problems are very common. As many as one in three women and one in ten men have urinary leakage and is worst among the elderly. It can cause emotional distress and can prevent someone from participating in exercise, social activities and levels of intimacy. You can successfully treat pelvic floor problems with a personalised pelvic health program designed by one of our physiotherapists during you visit to our women’s health clinic.
A significant percentage of people can see improvements with consultation, together with treatment and exercise with a specialised continence physiotherapist.

We have a Mindray Z5 diagnostic real-time ultrasound machine which helps us to assess your muscle weakness in your pelvic floor area, abdominals, hip and gluteal musculature as well as your back extensors.
Harmless ultrasound waves can give us detailed information about the internal structure of your body, revealing more about muscle, tendons or connective tissue damage.
