Altius Women’s Health Service: Who We Treat

All of our therapists at Altius are passionate about helping women of all ages with a wide range of women’s health issues. We understand how debilitating your symptoms can be on a day-to-day basis, and how even the thought of exercising again can feel like an impossible task for some. We are here to help any woman with mild, moderate or severe symptoms, linked to their women’s health condition.

If you are reading this and you think you have only minor symptoms which you could ignore, we would highly recommend you book in for a women’s health assessment to prevent worsening of your symptoms and to prevent further disruption to your quality of life.

If you are reading this and you think your symptoms are too severe, please feel reassured that we are very likely to be able to offer a range of treatment options (see treatments section below) to aid your recovery. If getting into the clinic is a daunting task for you, we also provide home visits. Please give the office a call if you would like to book a home visit in with us.

Altius Women’s Health Service: How it Works

Our lovely practitioners at Altius (Kirsty and Amy) will complete a thorough women’s health assessment with you to have a look at your condition. They will look at the latest evidence-based research for your condition to devise with a bespoke treatment plan for you. This will always include lots of focus on education so that you understand everything along the way.
