Preconception and Pregnancy
Our Women’s Health GPs love assisting women in the lead-up to and during their pregnancies. Whether it’s helping with symptom management, organising further testing, or giving up-to-date advice and education, they will help you to be as proactive as possible. The GPs have the option to refer in-house to one of the other FitRight HQ practitioners, such a Pelvic Health Physiotherapy, Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy or Women's Health Dietitian.
