Why choose seasons of life...
Physiotherapists with a special interest in women’s health, are university qualified health professionals with post graduate qualifications in pelvic floor exercise and fitness for women. Why trust your health during pregnancy and post natally to anyone less! At seasons of life we are eminently equipped to assess, prescribe, supervise, modify, monitor and evaluate physical needs for all women, from adolescence through to older age.
Women have special needs during their lives because of our unique physiological make-up. Pregnancy, birthing and the post natal period are very special times in women’s lives. You deserve only the most qualified and experienced, high quality, personalized care by a women’s health physiotherapist. Physios conducting FunkyMama pre and post natal programs at seasons of life, genuinely understand and care about your health and fitness during this time of your life. As women grow older, our needs and health priorities may change. Attention is required to maintain safe and effective results for this age group.
At seasons of life…
We specialise in women! All women can benefit from health and fitness training. Seasons of life offers programs for all women regardless of ability or health status. Women with high risk factors for exercise can be safely looked after in consultation with your medical care giver. Exercise can be modified especially for you. Classes are designed to complement advice of your health care provider. Low risk exercisers are given the right information and fitness programs to achieve their goals. Physiotherapy management is founded on evidence based practice.
Personalised service and excellence is our motto!
Classes are run in a warm, fun, friendly, relaxed and supportive atmosphere without the boot camp or over vigorous leader. Values of mutual respect, trust and responsibility are important to us.
You are encouraged to report any unusual health signs or symptoms that you may have experienced during or after the class. Please contact me by phone or email to discuss.

What to wear...
