Physiotherapy is an allied health department which provides physiotherapy services to all relevant inpatients and to outpatient clinics within the Royal Women's Hospital.
|
Physiotherapists provide physical management and discharge advice for post-natal and post-surgical patients, physical treatments for all pelvic floor disorders such as incontinence and prolapse, and pain management for both maternity and gynaecological patients.
We also run exercise classes for pelvic floor problems, pregnancy fitness and pregnancy Pilates classes, TENS for labour, and postnatal classes both on the postnatal ward and outpatient classes.
