Empowering Women Through Physiotherapy: A Holistic Approach to Women’s Health

Women’s Health

Introduction

At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre (Delhi & Gurugram), we believe that women’s health is more than just physical wellness-it’s about empowering women to lead pain-free, active, and confident lives. From young athletes to expectant mothers, working professionals to post-menopausal women, each phase of a woman’s life brings unique challenges. Physiotherapy plays a critical role in navigating them.

Understanding Women’s Health: A Lifelong Journey

Throughout their lives, women’s bodies experience a variety of physiological and hormonal changes, including menstruation, puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. These alterations affect the cardiovascular, pelvic, musculoskeletal, and hormonal systems, frequently leading to disorders that need specialist treatment.

Common women’s health issues we address include:

  1. Pelvic floor dysfunction (incontinence, prolapse, painful intercourse)
  2. Postural issues due to breastfeeding or sedentary jobs
  3. Prenatal and postnatal musculoskeletal pain
  4. Osteoporosis and age-related bone loss
  5. Sports injuries in female athletes
  6. PCOS-related metabolic and postural complications
  7. Menstrual cramps and PMS-related body pain

How Physiotherapy Supports Women’s Health

1. Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Almost one in three women suffers from pelvic floor dysfunction. Weakened pelvic muscles can result in prolapse, pelvic discomfort, or incontinence, regardless of the cause—obesity, menopause, or childbirth.
Elite Physiotherapy offers the following services:

  • Biofeedback treatment
  • Manual treatment for the pelvic floor
  • Core and Kegel exercises
  • Deep activation with electrical stimulation (EMS)

2. Prenatal & Postnatal Physiotherapy

Posture, joint alignment, and core stability are all altered during pregnancy. The body requires organized therapy after delivery in order to regain its strength.
We provide:

  • Safe prenatal activities to ease back discomfort and promote labor
  • Management of diastasis recti
  • Pelvic girdle support
  • Adjusting posture to reduce strain from nursing
  • Advanced pain management techniques include TECAR/CRET therapy, Class 4 Laser, SIS, and shockwave.

3. Menstrual and Hormonal Pain Relief

Physiotherapy offers drug-free relief from:

  • Menstrual cramps
  • Lower back pain associated with PMS
  • Hormonal migraines (via cervical mobilization & relaxation therapy)

4. Bone Health & Osteoporosis Prevention

After menopause, the drop in estrogen accelerates bone loss. Our program includes:

  • Weight-bearing exercises
  • Postural training to avoid spinal compression fractures
  • Electro-modalities like SIS and Laser therapy for joint and bone pain management
  • Functional mobility assessments to reduce fall risk

5. Sports Physiotherapy for Female Athletes

Women are 2–8 times more prone to ACL injuries due to structural and hormonal differences. We address:

  • Muscle imbalances and alignment issues
  • Sport-specific rehab and injury prevention
  • Return-to-sport functional assessments
  • Mental health support for injury recovery

How We Diagnose at Elite Physiotherapy

At Elite Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre, we go beyond routine assessments. We combine physical and functional assessments with evidence-based special tests tailored for women’s health:

Assessment Includes:

  • Orthopedic Special Tests (referencing Orthopedic Physical Assessment)
  • Pelvic floor internal & external assessments (for trained therapists only)
  • Gait & postural analysis
  • Core stability and balance testing
  • Joint laxity and hormone-cycle-based functional screening
  • Body composition and BMD evaluation
