Women’s Health is an essential specialty area within physiotherapy, focusing on the well-being of women throughout various stages of life, from childbearing years to post-menopausal syndromes and the changes that come with old age.

Motherhood, a precious gift, can often bring about physical challenges, especially during pregnancy. Many women experience issues such as low back pain, wrist pain, or hip pain, largely due to hormonal changes. These hormonal shifts cause ligaments to relax, making room for the growing baby and preparing the body for delivery. This relaxation can strain ligaments and lead to pain and movement problems. During this time, the muscles step in to support the ligaments, and this shift continues even after delivery.

Physiotherapists specializing in women’s health provide a comprehensive assessment to address these concerns. They guide women through targeted exercises to help manage the changes during the antenatal and postnatal periods, as well as in premenopausal, postmenopausal, and aging stages. This approach helps prevent long-term complications and supports women’s physical health at every stage of life.
