Every year, Women’s Health Week shines a spotlight on the importance of women taking time to focus on their health and wellbeing. This year, the theme is “Say yes to you.”
It’s a call for women, girls, and gender-diverse people to put themselves first – something many women struggle to do while balancing family, work, and community responsibilities. At Logan Physio, we see first-hand how often women delay seeking help until pain or injury interferes with their daily lives. Women’s Health Week is the perfect reminder that your health deserves to be a priority.
In this blog, we’ll explore the 2025 theme, highlight common health challenges women face, and show how physiotherapy can help you say “yes” to your health at every stage of life.
Why “Say Yes to You” Matters
Saying yes to yourself isn’t selfish – it’s essential. Many women put others’ needs ahead of their own, often neglecting early warning signs like pain, fatigue, or pelvic floor issues. Women’s Health Week encourages women to:
- Book the health checks they’ve been putting off
- Make time for movement and exercise
- Speak up in healthcare conversations
- Prioritise mental health alongside physical health
Physiotherapy plays a key role in supporting women to take proactive steps, prevent long-term issues, and manage existing concerns with confidence.
Common Health Challenges Women Face
Women’s health is unique and complex, with specific challenges across the lifespan. Physiotherapy provides evidence-based support for many of these issues, including:
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can weaken the pelvic floor, leading to incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or reduced core stability. Physiotherapy provides guided exercises and education to restore strength and function.
Pregnancy & Postnatal Recovery
Pregnancy brings enormous changes to the body, and issues like back pain, pelvic discomfort, or abdominal separation can continue postpartum. Physiotherapists guide safe exercise and hands-on treatment to support recovery.
Musculoskeletal Pain
Neck pain, lower back pain, hip discomfort, and knee issues are all common in women, especially during times of hormonal change or with age. Physio helps by improving posture, mobility, and strength.
Osteoporosis & Bone Health
Women are at higher risk of osteoporosis after menopause due to hormonal changes. Physiotherapy provides targeted strength and balance programs to reduce fracture risk and maintain independence.
Sports & Active Lifestyle Support
From netball and running to gym workouts, women are just as active as men – and just as vulnerable to sports injuries. Physiotherapists help with injury prevention, rehabilitation, and return-to-sport programs.
