Women’s Health & Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy. Right here, in the Barossa Valley.

Life as a woman is never still. It’s a rippling river of constant change.

Sometimes the stream of womanhood is flat, calm and straight, navigating easily between its surroundings amongst smooth pebbles.

Other times the path is jagged, winding and tumultuous, with steep drops and a roaring current.

This cascade of change is challenging to navigate alone, particularly when the changes bring physical symptoms that can be swept under the rug as being a ‘normal part of being a woman.’ These might be things like painful periods, pain during sex, back pain during pregnancy, pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence.

Listen up, ladies.

Just because these things are common, it does not make them normal. There is hope and help available, right here, in the Barossa Valley.

Cascade Women’s Health aims to bridge the gap between country women and their city sisters, improving access to quality women’s pelvic floor physiotherapy in our local community.

“No matter your stage of life, it would be my privilege to walk beside you on your journey and help you navigate the cascading changes of womanhood”
