TAILORED CARE FOR WOMEN
Osteopathy, Clinical Pilates & Strength Coaching Designed with You in Mind
Women’s bodies are uniquely different from men’s—not just in anatomy but also in biomechanics, hormonal cycles, and lifestyle demands. These differences mean women often have distinct needs when it comes to managing pain, preventing injury, and building strength. At Recovery +, we specialise in osteopathy, clinical pilates, and strength & conditioning programs that are carefully tailored to support female health and wellness at every stage of life.
Why Women Need a Different Approach
Hormonal Influence: Fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone affect ligament laxity, joint stability, and muscle function. This can increase susceptibility to injuries like ACL tears, especially around menstruation or pregnancy.
Pelvic Health: Unique challenges such as pregnancy, postpartum recovery, pelvic floor dysfunction, and menopause impact posture, core strength, and overall musculoskeletal health.
Movement Patterns: Women often display different biomechanics—such as wider hips —this influences how forces travel through joints during gait, increasing risk of overuse injuries or chronic pain in areas like knees and lower back.
Lifestyle Factors: Balancing work, family, and fitness means women may experience different stress patterns and muscular imbalances, requiring a holistic and adaptable treatment and training plan.
How Osteopathy Supports Women’s Health
Osteopathy addresses these specific needs by focusing on whole-body balance and function. For women, treatment often includes:
Gentle, targeted techniques to support joint stability during hormonal changes
Pelvic alignment and soft tissue work for pregnancy and postpartum recovery
Addressing common issues such as lower back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and tension headaches
Enhancing circulation and nerve function to support overall wellbeing
Clinical Pilates: Building Core Strength and Stability
Clinical Pilates is ideal for women looking to improve posture, strengthen the deep core and pelvic floor muscles, and enhance movement quality. The low-impact, controlled nature of Pilates makes it perfect during pregnancy and after childbirth, helping to restore strength safely. It’s also a powerful tool for managing chronic pain and preventing injury related to daily activities or sport.
Strength & Conditioning Tailored for Women
Strength training isn’t just about building bulky muscles—it’s about building functional strength, boosting metabolism, protecting bones, and improving joint health. Programs at Recovery + specifically consider:
Joint stability to reduce injury risk
Muscle balance to correct postural issues
Exercises that respect hormonal fluctuations and recovery needs
Progressions that accommodate all fitness levels, from beginner to athlete
