WHAT IS A WOMENS HEALTH
EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGST?
Here at Her health Performance & Rehab we specialise in bridging the gap between rehabilitation and returning to exercise by prescribing individualised programs specific to you. Research continues to show us the benefits exercise has on correcting issues related to pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic pain, improving overall health markers, the benefits during both the pre and postnatal period and chronic health conditions.
We remove the uncertainty and guide you through safe exercise techniques specific to what stage of life you’re in.
Some examples of when to come and work with us are if you:
Experience any leaking of urine when you cough, laugh, sneeze or exercise, or feel desperate to run to the loo!
Don’t know what exercises to do after having a baby, or having surgery, or find movements can cause you pain
Have had a baby in the last 5 years and have concerns about your pelvic floor, including feeling heaviness in your pelvis

STRENGTH THROUGH PREGNANCY
Once you have been given the all clear by your health care provider, your next best best point of call is an Accredited Exercise Physiologist to assist you with safe prescription of exercise during this exciting time. We work closely with you through your whole pregnancy journey to assist with keeping you moving and reducing any aches & pains that arise during this period.
THE FIRST 6 WEEKS
These first 6 weeks following that beautiful moment of bringing your bub into the world is a time of great change. Adapting to this new phase in your life can be both a physical and emotional rollercoaster with a side of uncertainty when it comes to where and when you should start with your return to exercise. This is a time to nourish and nurture your body and with the use of restorative exercises you can do just that, in the comfort of your own home.
Following the all clear from your health care provider to return back to exercise, you will be taken through a thorough assessment to allow us to develop a program which addresses all your concerns, returning you back to full strength training. This program progresses through a 3 stages approach ensuring you have mastered all the fundamentals before advancing to the next phase
RETURN TO STRENGTH
EXERCISE THROUGH THE FEMALE LIFE CYCLE
Transitioning into menopause? Navigating a recent prolapse diagnosis, or maybe you experience chronic hip and low back pain that doesn’t seem to resolve despite making modification to your training program. You may need to take a different, more holistic approach to treating your symptoms and addressing the whole body is imperative.
