Female pelvic health
Women's pelvic health physical therapy
Specialist pelvic health care for women through every stage of life — bladder and bowel problems, prolapse, pelvic pain, pregnancy, postpartum recovery and menopause.
Female pelvic health
Common doesn't mean you have to live with it
Pelvic health problems are incredibly common — but pain, leaking, urgency, bowel trouble, sexual discomfort, or changes to your body aren't something you simply have to accept. We provide specialist pelvic health physical therapy for women through every stage of life: from your first period through pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, menopause and beyond. Whether it's pee, poo, pelvic pain, periods, pregnancy, postpartum or painful sex — we're here to help.
What we treat
Female pelvic health conditions
Your pelvic floor supports the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs and plays a role in continence, sexual function, core stability and support. When those muscles are weak, overactive, painful or poorly coordinated, symptoms follow — and they respond well to individualized care.

The postpartum physiotherapy check
Our hour-long postpartum check can be done any time after giving birth. In it, we assess your pelvic floor recovery, abdominal wall and diastasis rectus, bladder and bowel function, pelvic and lower-back symptoms, and your readiness to return to exercise — then you leave with a personalized plan built around your body, symptoms and goals.
You are not alone — and you don't have to put up with it
Pelvic health problems can affect confidence, relationships, exercise, work, sleep and everyday life. Many women delay care because they feel embarrassed or assume their symptoms are “normal.” You deserve to understand what's happening in your body and to have a plan designed specifically for you. You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before booking — that's what the assessment is for.
