Initial physio assessment & treatment plan
The female body is an incredible thing and throughout a lifetime, it will enter many wonderful stages. Some stages, can take more of a toll on your body than others.
Cue, the initial assessment.
Relaxed in the comfort of your own home, one of our expert female physios will guide you through a comprehensive assessment to get to the bottom of what’s going on with you and your body. This could include incontinence, prolapse and pain – an initial physio assessment is a great opportunity to check that everything is working as it should before, and after the birth of your little one.
Initial assessments take into account your history, concerns and how you move through your day to day. Sometimes, we recommend further assessments to get as much information as possible and create the most effective treatment plan for you.
Armed with information from your initial physio assessment, we work with you to create a custom treatment plan that fits you, your goals and lifestyle.

TENS Machine education & hire
Head to any birthing class or mothers’ group and chances are you’ll come across someone talking about TENS machines. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) units can be used as part of your birth plan to help reduce the pain experienced during birth.
As part of our in-home education, you’ll get the rundown of how TENS machines work and the most effective way to use it as part of your birth plan.
Just looking to get your hands on a unit? We can help you there too with our TENS unit hire options.

In home ultrasound & laser treatment
Did you know that therapeutic ultrasound is a great postpartum treatment option for swollen perineums, haemorrhoids or inflammatory breast conditions such as blocked milk ducts or mastitis?
Low level laser therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment option, and doesn’t impact your beautiful breastfeeding journey. The treatment combines sound waves and heat to open the ducts and increase circulation, improving the flow of milk, reducing pain and swelling.
Low level laser therapy can also help with cracked or damaged nipples. Damaged nipples often occur as a result of poor attachment or biting as baby teethes. Low level laser is an effective tool for promoting wound healing, which is why it’s a great tool for nipple damage! The laser stimulates healing by increasing blood flow and cellular activity. It also helps reduce inflammation and decrease pain in damaged tissues.
