Many people suffer from pelvic floor problems and pelvic pain. Bladder leakage, prolapse and painful sex can affect women of all ages and life stages, and while they may be common, it is not normal and we encourage people suffering any of these symptoms to seek help. Our team of pelvic health trained osteos and physios will work together with you to assess and treat a variety of conditions:

  • Urinary leakage, urgency or frequency

  • Constipation, straining

  • Prolapse assessment

  • Painful sex (dyspareunia), pain using tampons

  • Genital pain, pelvic floor spasm, Coccyx pain

  • Pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy (including sacroiliac, low back, hip and pubic symphysis pain)

  • Round ligament pain

  • Labour and birth preparation

  • Scar tissue treatment

  • Our goal is to offer you an assessment that looks at your whole body and how it integrates with your pelvic floor. Your initial appointment will involve an online questionnaire prior to attending, and our consult begin with a series of questions about why you have come in to see us, and any specific health goals that you wish to achieve. We will ask questions about your medical history, symptoms, toileting habits, sex, diet and exercise routine and this information helps us to begin to create a picture of what could be going on in your body. 


    Our physical assessment may include observing your posture, breathing patterns and some simple movements. Assessment of the pelvic floor can be done in a variety of ways, one of these is an internal assessment (details below). Treatment may include hands on techniques to address any muscular, fascial or joint restrictions in your body as well as guidance on appropriate strengthening and stretching.

  • One of the best ways that we can assess not only the strength of your pelvic floor, but also any tight muscles or scar tissue, is via an internal pelvic floor examination. This is a completely optional form of assessment and treatment.

    If an internal assessment of your pelvic floor is recommended, we will thoroughly explain what to expect and gain your consent. Please know that you can change your mind at any time, and we welcome any questions throughout your consultation. 

    A pelvic floor examination requires you to remove your underwear, allowing your osteo to observe and palpate the pelvic floor anatomy both internally and externally. An internal assessment can provide us with important information regarding your pelvic floor health including; its tone, strength, endurance and coordination. This information helps to build a picture about your pelvic floor and whether it is weak, tight and/or functioning appropriately.

    During the assessment of your pelvic floor, if a tissue is found to be tight or dysfunctional, gentle release techniques may be used to help restore normal function. We know that it can take some time and to find a practitioner that you trust to help you with your pelvic health complaints. 

    We will always endeavour to provide a safe, comfortable, judgement-free space for you to freely express your health concerns and receive the best possible care to help you achieve your health goals.

    All aspects of your assessment and treatment are completely optional and you are welcome to decline anything that you are uncomfortable with, at any stage along our treatment journey.
