A 75 minute appointment sounds like a long time doesn’t it? Well I tell you what, we need it & it will fly by! 

We start off by mainly talking, going through a heap of questions about your symptoms so I can paint a really good picture in my mind of what we are going to need to look for and assess. We are big believers in educating you about what happens to our bodies during pregnancy, childbirth and beyond, so depending on your symptoms, we will teach you what has likely led to where you are now and what we will need to look for, and how we can do that. 

Most of the time, the gold standard of assessment for any pelvic issue, or postnatal pelvic screening, is to do an internal vaginal assessment. We know the concept of this can be daunting, however we promise we always keep this as brief, light hearted (you will laugh at some point I’m sure!), and educational as possible. And most of the time, my ladies go “oh, is that all?!”. It is 100x more comfortable and tolerable than a pap smear! Do I really need a vaginal examination I hear you ask? Well of course it is your choice, however I liken this to asking a physio to treat your shoulder by looking at your foot. We really can’t get any idea of how your shoulder is functioning, what the support structures are like or how well you can use it by looking at your foot, and the same goes with any of the pelvic floor muscles, fascia and pelvic organs! They’re all internal, so that’s where we get our best information from. 

So, once we’ve worked out what is going on, together we will come up with a plan of attack and then that will be our whirlwind of a session complete! 

Sometimes we don't need to see you for 4-6 weeks after that, other times it’ll be much sooner, it really just depends on what is going on and what your goals are. We also endeavour to make sure any homework or instructions given are written down, so don’t feel like you need to remember every word we’ve discussed during our time together. We’ve got your back!

We absolutely do! Dry needling, sports, general aches and pains, musculoskeletal, you name it. Kids or adults, we are here for everyone across their whole lifespan. Just select a "General Physio Initial" when booking online.  

I need more info! Are you suffering neck/back/pelvis/wrist etc types of pain? Then go ahead and book a ‘Pregnancy Aches and Pains’ Initial. Or do we need to delve deeper? 

If you’re hoping to learn about how to prep your pelvic floor for birth, or are concerned about internal pelvic pain, bladder or bowel control issues, sexual pain, or prolapse symptoms (heaviness or a bulge usually felt vaginally), please book a ‘Pregnancy Initial Consult’ as these types of issues often need an internal assessment (low risk pregnancies only). Still not sure? Ask us directly! 

This is totally your preference, however it actually doesn’t affect our time together at all from our perspective. We always have wet wipes for you to use before any internal assessments so you can feel clean. And we know how hard it is for us to make our schedules line up at times, so we'd hate for your monthly cycle to be a burden on our plans! 

Please just remember that we do have a cancellation policy, and do require notification before 4.30pm the day beforehand if you can’t attend to avoid our 50% cancellation fee (head to our Fees page for more information). 

Please refer to our cancellation policy found here. 

Of course! All of our rooms have a toy box to help entertain your little one(s). You're welcome to bring snacks in as well, we just ask that you only bring in foods that aren't too messy (I'm looking at you sprinkle donut...!). Plus, we would never say no to a baby cuddle!

Some of our appointments are up to 75 mins in duration, so you be the judge on how your little one(s) will cope or if babysitters would be best.

The only consults where we recommend no kids are for the C-section/Abdominal Release sessions. These are like visiting the day spa, please leave them with someone else so you can get the most out of your time.

Sure can! We have a HICAPS terminal, so we swipe/tap your private health card, and you'll just have to pay the gap on the spot. If you forget to bring your card, you will need to pay in full either via cash (correct money only) or card, and we will be able to email or post you a copy of the paid invoice for you to claim back manually with your health fund afterwards. 

​

No private health insurance for Physiotherapy? No worries! You will just need to cover the full price of the consult independently via either card (preferred) or cash. 

If you want to know in advance what your gap will be, you will need to call your health fund directly and quote the item code(s) and our fees that you will find on the Fees page. Please remember that all fees must be paid in full on the day of service. 

We are happy to accept cash however we don't carry change, so can only take cash if it is the exact amount. 

Unfortunately we are solely a private clinic and only see clients privately (those who pay the fee in full themselves, or who pay the gap using their private health insurance). We cannot see any clients currently seeking treatment for the same/similar issue under RTWSA, MVA etc, nor those wishing to fund their appointments though any third party payer (including NDIS, My Aged Care, or Medicare EPC/TCA "care plans" etc). 

Nope! Just head online and book in. If you do have a referral from your GP or a specialist, we always love extra information, so feel free to get them to email it directly to us at jess@plwp.com.au.

Booking online is the quickest way to secure the next available appointment. Otherwise please message or call us on 0475 714 114 and we will get back to you in 1-2 business days. 

Online booking tips:

If we are booked out far in advance, it can be fiddly to find the next available appointment online.

1) Select the consult type that you are hoping to book (eg Women's Health Initial Appointment)

2) Once the diary shows, click on either the calendar icon, or the date (eg Monday November 3 2025), which will bring up a whole calendar view.

3) From here simply use the arrows at the top to scroll through the months until you see pale purple showing availability.
