Physiotherapy in Women’s Health
Supporting women at every stage of life
At Edge Healthcare, we support women through every stage of life—from adolescence and the reproductive years to menopause and beyond. Each chapter brings its own physical challenges, and physiotherapy plays a key role in helping women move, feel, and live better.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a painful condition affecting the pelvic organs, but it often impacts the entire body. Our physiotherapists take a whole body approach, not just focusing on the pelvis and pelvic floor, but also assessing the spine, hips, breathing, and upper body tension.
By understanding how these areas are connected, we develop tailored treatment strategies to help you manage symptoms and improve overall wellbeing.
Pregnancy & Postnatal Care
Pregnancy is a transformative time and for many, a physically demanding one. Our experienced physiotherapists support you through each stage with safe, evidence based care.
During pregnancy, we can help with:
- Spinal and pelvic girdle pain
- Postural changes
- Prenatal exercise guidance
- Birth preparation
After birth, we offer support for:
- Pelvic floor recovery
- Gentle return to exercise
- Resuming daily activities and sport safely
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect your confidence, comfort, and quality of life. Common symptoms include:
- Bladder leakage with coughing or sneezing
- Urinary urgency or frequency
- Pain during sexual intercourse
- Pelvic, hip or lower back pain
- Constipation
Our women’s health trained physiotherapists conduct a thorough assessment to identify the underlying causes and create an individualised treatment plan. This may include:
- Manual therapy and soft tissue release
- Pelvic floor muscle training (to strengthen or relax overactive muscles)
- Breathing and relaxation strategies
- Targeted exercise rehabilitation, including Pilates based movements
Menopause Support
Menopause is a significant life transition that can affect muscle tone, bone health, and energy levels. The good news is that research shows lifestyle changes and regular exercise can help manage many of these symptoms.
We work with you to create practical, achievable strategies that support long term health, improve mobility, and boost overall wellbeing.
Osteoporosis & Bone Health
Osteoporosis, often linked to menopause, long term bed rest, or medical treatments like chemotherapy, leads to reduced bone density and increased fracture risk.
Our team provides a detailed assessment and builds personalised programs focusing on:
- Posture and alignment
- Strengthening and joint support
- Balance and fall prevention
- Safe, progressive weight bearing exercise
We are proud to be the only clinic in Singapore licensed to offer Onero Training — an evidence based, supervised exercise program proven to improve bone density through high intensity, impact loading movements.
Mastitis and Blocked Milk Ducts
If you’re breastfeeding and notice pain, swelling, or heat in your breast, it could be mastitis or a blocked milk duct. These issues can make feeding painful and stressful. We help by reducing inflammation, improving milk flow, and teaching gentle massage techniques. You’ll also learn how feeding positions and posture can make a big difference.
Gynaecological Surgery Recovery
Recovering from gynaecological surgery can be a challenge. Whether it’s a hysterectomy or prolapse repair, you might feel weak, tight, or unsure of your movements. Our team supports your healing with:
- Scar care and movement advice
- Gentle exercises to rebuild strength
- Help with posture and everyday tasks
Abdominal Muscle Separation
Abdominal separation (diastasis recti) is common after pregnancy. It can affect posture, cause back pain, and reduce core strength. We assess your abdominal wall and teach you simple exercises that support muscle repair. The goal is to help your core function well again.
Bowel Disorders
Pelvic floor issues often link to bowel problems like constipation, pain, or bloating. Our approach looks at your body as a whole. We help you:
- Understand the role of your pelvic muscles
- Improve bowel habits with posture and movement
- Relax tension in key areas
Perineal Massage
Preparing for birth can include perineal massage. It may help reduce the chance of tearing during delivery. We guide you on when and how to start, using simple techniques you can do at home. This small step can have a big impact.
Birth Preparation
Birth is a big event, both physically and mentally. Being ready makes a difference. Our birth prep sessions cover:
- Breathing techniques for labour
- Movement and positions for comfort
- Pelvic floor awareness
- Gentle exercises to stay active and strong
You’ll feel more ready, more informed, and more at ease.
Urinary Incontinence
Leaking when you laugh, sneeze, or exercise is a sign your pelvic floor needs support. It’s common, but it’s not something you have to live with. We assess your pelvic muscles and teach you how to build control again—step by step, with no guesswork.
What to Expect from a Women’s Health Physiotherapy Session?
During your first session:
- Detailed discussion about your health history, lifestyle, and goals
- Questions on pregnancy, childbirth, menstrual health, bladder or bowel habits, and pelvic pain
- Gentle physical assessment (posture, breathing, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles)
- Private, respectful, and supportive environment
Treatment and follow-up:
- Personalised plan based on assessment findings
- Techniques may include pelvic floor exercises, manual therapy, and postural training, pilaties
- Education on daily habits to support recovery and prevent future issues
- Progress tracked and adjusted at each visit
- Focus on long-term strength, confidence, and overall women’s health
We work with your comfort level at all times.
You’ll leave with a clear plan tailored to your needs. That might include hands-on treatment, exercises, or small changes to your day-to-day routine. Nothing too much. Nothing confusing.
Women’s health physiotherapy provides practical support, helping you move more easily, build strength, and enjoy greater freedom in daily life.
Our goal is simple: to empower women to move confidently, feel stronger, and live fully — no matter the life stage.
