We also work with women who simply want to build core strength, improve posture, and stay active in a way that supports their body through change.

• Your first session is a private, respectful, and supportive conversation. We’ll take the time to understand your symptoms, concerns, and goals — and tailor your treatment accordingly.

  Depending on your needs, treatment may include:

  • Pelvic floor assessment and retraining

  • Real-time ultrasound for core activation

  • Exercise programs for strength and mobility

  • Hands-on therapy for pain relief

  • Postural and movement education

  We take a gentle, evidence-based approach — and you’re always in control of your treatment plan.

• Female physiotherapists with specialist training in women’s health

• Private and welcoming treatment spaces

• A whole-body, whole-person approach to care

• Collaboration with GPs, obstetricians, and allied health where needed

• Focused on helping you feel stronger, more confident, and more supported

Kate Fosdike and Claire Barton are among the few Women’s Health Physiotherapists in Perth who are qualified to assess, fit, and manage vaginal pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse. This advanced skill offers non-surgical, conservative treatment options to women experiencing prolapse symptoms—helping them restore confidence, improve comfort, and regain quality of life.

Kate and Claire are both based at Live Well Currambine.
