Women's Health in Galston, NSW
At Motiv Health, we are passionate about supporting women through every stage of life - from the physical demands of pregnancy and postpartum recovery, to the unique musculoskeletal challenges that affect women throughout their lives. Our care is gentle, evidence-based, and always tailored to you.
Harriette Fraser, our chiropractor and clinic director, has a particular passion for women's health. If this applies to you, women's health considerations will be incorporated directly into your appointments rather than treated as a separate or add-on service. It is simply part of how Harriette approaches care for every woman who walks through the door.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy places enormous demands on a woman's body. As your centre of gravity shifts, hormones relax the ligaments, and the spine and pelvis adapt to accommodate a growing baby, it's common to experience back pain, hip pain, pelvic girdle pain, and sciatica.
Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe and effective. We use gentle, pregnancy-specific techniques and positioning to ensure you're always comfortable throughout treatment. Our goal is to help you stay active, reduce pain, and prepare your pelvis for birth.
We commonly help pregnant women with:
-
Lower back and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain
-
Pelvic girdle pain and symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD)
-
Round ligament pain
-
Sciatica and referred leg pain
-
Upper back and rib pain
-
Neck pain and headaches
Postpartum Recovery
The postpartum period brings its own physical challenges — your body is recovering from birth, adapting to feeding positions, and often carrying and lifting a newborn in ways that strain the back, neck, and shoulders. Many new mothers also experience core weakness, pelvic instability, and hip pain in the months following birth.
We provide gentle hands-on treatment and progressive rehabilitation to support your postpartum recovery, helping you rebuild strength and return to the activities you love.
Other Women's Health Concerns
Beyond pregnancy and postpartum, women often present with distinct musculoskeletal patterns that benefit from specialist-informed care.
At Motiv Health, we are experienced in managing:
-
Hip and pelvic pain
-
Hormonal headaches and migraines
-
Shoulder and neck pain from prolonged feeding or desk work
-
Osteoporosis-related spinal concerns
-
Musculoskeletal support during perimenopause and menopause
A Safe, Comfortable Environment
We understand that women's health is personal. At Motiv Health, you'll always be treated with respect, dignity, and care. We take the time to listen, explain, and ensure you feel fully informed and comfortable with every aspect of your treatment.
