Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
No drugs, no surgery and no invasive probes! Magnetic pelvic floor stimulation offers new hope in restoring normal bladder function.
This breakthrough technology builds strength and endurance back into the pelvic floor muscles. The process is similar to Kegel exercises for the pelvic floor however, this system performs the exercises for the patient in a more complete and effective manner than the patient could do on their own. No active participation by the patient is required.
Treatments are twice weekly, painless and take 20 minutes. The complete course takes eight weeks approximately.
Vaginal Atrophy
We are excited to introduce a new nonsurgical treatment for vaginal atrophy!
Monalisa Touch is a revolutionary 10 minute laser treatment that is providing lasting improvements for those women affected by the symptoms of vaginal atrophy including:
- Vaginal itching and burning
- Vaginal dryness
- Loss of lubrication
- Vaginal laxity
- Painful sexual intercourse
As we age our oestrogen levels begin to decline and this can cause vaginal atrophy. Mona lisa Touch works by stimulating the body’s own regenerative processes to create more hydrated and healthy cells.
The procedure takes only 10 minutes and there is no downtime which means you can return to your day to day activities more or less immediately. Most patients report a noticeable improvement after just one session however, it is advised they undergo a series of three treatments, one month apart, followed by a maintenance treatment at 12 months or on an as needed basis.
Contact our rooms on 9887 8566 to make an appointment to assess your suitability for this exciting new vaginal rejuvenation.
Support during pregnancy for your wellbeing
The physical strain of pregnancy can start at around 17-20 weeks, sometimes earlier. SRC Pregnancy Shorts support the body and reduce discomfort and pain associated with pelvic instability, vulval varicosities, lower back pain, sciatica, pelvic joint inflammation and varicose veins of the upper thigh. They provide support and aid mobility so you can work and exercise pain free throughout your pregnancy.
SRC Pregnancy to the rescue
Invented by women for women, these unique garments are nothing short of miraculous! With the adjustable waistband, they can be worn from 12 weeks until late term. The patented designed gusset panel supports the perineal area and can help reduce the feeling of pressure in that area. The lightweight fabric is breathable and provides maximum support without any feeling of restriction.
Recover your pre-pregnancy shape faster
After delivery and before you’ve started to feel like yourself again, change into your Recovery Shorts to help you look a little more like the old you. Designed for wear in the first 8-10 weeks, but can be worn for as long as they provide benefit. Once you return to light exercise, they will support your body and actually help you regain your pre-baby shape faster.
SRC Recovery Shorts aid mobility and provide stability to the back, abdomen, pelvic region and upper legs. The patented gusset panel design is vital for support and post birth healing; especially helping to reduce episiotomy wound pain. The anatomical panels also help to support caesarean wound areas by stimulating blood flow, which aids in tissue healing.
