Women's Physiotherapy Services in Chennai
Women's physiotherapy covers conditions and life stages that general physiotherapy often doesn't address specifically — pregnancy-related pain, postpartum recovery, diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, and rehabilitation after gynaecological surgery. At Chennai Physio Care®, all women's health assessments and treatment are carried out by female physiotherapists.
What Is Women's Physiotherapy?
Women's physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focusing on conditions and life stages unique to women. It considers the distinct anatomical, hormonal, and physiological factors affecting women's bodies. Our approach recognises challenges related to pregnancy, childbirth, menstruation, menopause, and female-specific health concerns that benefit from targeted physiotherapy.
Common Causes
Women's Physiotherapy can be caused by various factors, including but not limited to:
- Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal changes
- Postpartum recovery needs
- Pelvic floor dysfunction
- Hormonal fluctuations affecting joint stability
- Menopause-related physical changes
- Female-specific sports injuries
- Post-gynecological surgery rehabilitation
- Breast-cancer treatment side effects
Our Approach to Treatment
Treatment depends entirely on where you are — whether that's managing pelvic girdle pain at 28 weeks, rebuilding core stability at 8 weeks postpartum, or addressing pelvic floor dysfunction that's been present for years.
For postpartum patients, we assess both the pelvic floor and abdominal wall together — diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction often coexist and need to be treated as a connected system rather than separately.
You'll receive a home exercise programme alongside clinic sessions. For most women's health conditions, what you do daily between appointments drives the majority of the recovery.
For a detailed guide on diastasis recti including how to self-check, see our diastasis recti condition guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does women's physiotherapy treat?
Women's physiotherapy covers pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, diastasis recti, pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, pelvic organ prolapse, and rehabilitation after gynaecological surgery.

When should I start physiotherapy after delivery?
A pelvic floor assessment can begin from 6 weeks postpartum for vaginal deliveries, or 8 weeks after a caesarean section once cleared by your obstetrician. Earlier assessment is possible if you have specific concerns — speak to us and we'll advise based on your situation.
