Over 13,000 responses revealed the realities of living with pain. The report found that 90% of respondents had experienced pain lasting over a year, with 54% experiencing it daily. One respondent shared, “I have never felt seen or heard when it comes to my pain, something needs to change.”

Listening to these stories highlighted unmet healthcare needs, gaps in research and representation, gender bias in healthcare and barriers across communities and most importantly a clear call for change.

It is important for us to recognise these experiences and reflect on how care and understanding can improve for everyone living with pain. If you would like to read the report yourself it is available online via the Victorian Department of Health website.

If you have private health insurance, your extras cover may reset at the end of December — which means any unused physio cover could disappear soon.

Over 13,000 people across Victoria shared their experiences of living with pain in the Bridging the Gender Pain Gap: The Inquiry into Women’s Pain Report 2025 from the Victorian Department of Health, Women’s Health and Wellbeing Program.

The stories are powerful. Many had to see multiple healthcare providers before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Others described distressing experiences such as being dismissed, having invasive procedures carried out without proper consent or pain relief, or facing discrimination based on gender, s*x, s*xuality, age, disability, weight or race.

Pelvic pain, menstrual pain and endometriosis were among the most commonly reported conditions. Participants highlighted the huge impact pain has on daily life, mental health, work, study and relationships. They called for more research, better clinician education, earlier diagnosis and a health system that listens, validates and supports people living with pain.

This report makes it clear that pain is not just a personal experience. It is a systemic issue. It is a crucial step towards closing the gender pain gap and ensuring all pain is recognised, taken seriously and treated with respect and compassion.

This is your reminder to actively engage your pelvic floor whenever you cough, sneeze, lift something heavy, jump, or do any activity that puts sudden pressure on your core.

These movements can cause unexpected pressure on your pelvic floor which may lead to leakage. Squeezing your pelvic floor muscles in these moments helps protect them and prevent leaks.

Your pelvic floor works hard every day so give it a little love and keep it strong 💙

Breastfeeding brings so much joy, but mastitis can be really tough. Here is what you need to know.

Mastitis is a painful inflammation caused by blocked milk ducts. It can affect breastfeeding and milk supply.

Prevention includes frequent nursing or pumping, ensuring a proper latch, alternating breastfeeding positions, fully emptying the breasts, wearing loose clothing, practising good hygiene, and avoiding prolonged pressure on the breasts.

Overcoming mastitis involves rest, applying warmth to the affected area, and continuing breastfeeding to help clear blockages. Seek professional support if symptoms persist or worsen.

Self-care is essential. Stay hydrated, eat nourishing foods, and get adequate rest. Be gentle with yourself. You are doing an amazing job nourishing your little one.

Stay strong, seek support, and embrace the beauty of this journey. You have got this. 💙🍼

Back pain during pregnancy is common, but it doesn’t have to be something you just “put up with.”

As your body changes, extra weight and shifting posture can place more strain on your lower back and pelvis. A women’s health physio can help you manage discomfort, improve mobility, and support your body as it adapts.

We use gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques to relieve pain, guide you through targeted exercises, and help you feel more comfortable day to day.

If back pain is making pregnancy harder than it should be, book an appointment and let’s help you move with ease again.
