Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Women’s Health Physiotherapy
Is pelvic floor physiotherapy only for postnatal women?
No. While it's common after childbirth, pelvic floor therapy helps women of all ages with incontinence, pelvic pain, and core weakness.
How soon after childbirth can I start physiotherapy?
You can start gentle physiotherapy 4–6 weeks post-delivery, depending on how you're healing. Always consult your doctor first.
Is women’s health physiotherapy invasive?
No. Most treatments are external, and any internal assessment is only performed with full consent and when necessary.
Can physiotherapy help with menopause-related symptoms?
Yes. It supports joint health, balance, and flexibility, helping reduce aches and posture-related discomfort.
Do I need a referral from a gynecologist?
No referral is needed. However, we coordinate with your physician if required.
Can I do pelvic floor exercises at home?
Yes. Once assessed, your physiotherapist will guide you on a home-based routine designed for your needs.
How many sessions are required for postnatal recovery?
Typically, 6–10 sessions offer real results, but this varies based on delivery type, condition severity, and goals.

"Every patient who walks in with women s health physiotherapy has a different story — different cause, different severity, different daily impact. My job is to understand that story and build a treatment programme around it, not fit them into a template." — Dr. Vaishali Suri (BPT), Realign Rehab Clinic, Faridabad
