Womens Health & Palliative Care
Women's health physiotherapy, also known as pelvic health physiotherapy, focuses on the assessment and treatment of conditions affecting the pelvic floor muscles, pelvic organs, and surrounding structures in women. This specialized area of physiotherapy addresses a wide range of issues related to pregnancy, childbirth, pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, sexual health, and musculoskeletal disorders affecting the pelvic region. Palliative care is a multidisciplinary approach to care focused on improving the quality of life for individuals with life-limiting illnesses and their families. It addresses physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs throughout the trajectory of illness, from diagnosis to end-of-life care.
