We understand how the menstrual cycle and hormonal changes impact injury risk and strength. Our team provides targeted conditioning and load management strategies to help you stay resilient and perform at your best during these physiological shifts.

Pelvic Health Integration

Our clinical approach bridges the gap between pelvic floor function and high-impact exercise. We go beyond the basics, actively treating pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, and pelvic pain in an active context to keep you moving safely.

The Adolescent Athlete

FAQ

How can a Sports Dietitian help me manage fuelling during hormonal changes?

Hormonal fluctuations affect metabolism and energy requirements. Our dietitians provide expert nutritional guidance for Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), bone health, and performance fueling to ensure you have the energy availability required for your active lifestyle.

Why is it important to maximise protein intake as females age?

As women progress through life stages such as perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts naturally lead to a decrease in muscle mass and bone density. Maximising daily protein intake, alongside targeted strength programming, is crucial for preserving muscle tissue, maintaining functional strength, and supporting joint health.

How do a Women's Health Physiotherapist and Exercise Physiologist work together for postpartum return to activity?

They collaborate to deliver evidence-based programming to safely return you to sport postpartum. A Women's Health Physiotherapist will first assess your pelvic floor and abdominal healing, and then an Exercise Physiologist uses those findings to prescribe a safe, progressive strength and conditioning plan.

What does a Dance Physiotherapy assessment involve?

Our injury prevention and rehab focus on the unique demands of the performing arts. This includes comprehensive pre-pointe assessments and tailored exercise programming designed to support elite dance performance while minimising the risk of overload injuries.

Do you offer services specifically for younger girls in sport?

Yes, our clinic offers specialist support for the developing female athlete, focusing heavily on bone health and biomechanics. This ensures that adolescent girls build a strong physical foundation and learn safe movement mechanics to support a lifetime of healthy activity.
