Matremaga Physiotherapy exists to support women through all seasons of transition in life: menarche, matrescence, motherhood and menopause.
We seek healing for the whole woman, not just your condition. We give you time and space to tell your story. We create a welcoming environment for sharing experiences, fostering community and trust. We help you understand your symptoms and empower you to make informed choices about your recovery.
Our evidence-based practices provide personalised treatment for each client. By prioritising education and self-care, we empower women to take control of their health for a brighter future.
