Free, accessible physiotherapy guidance for women+ with birth injuries
Many women+ experiencing birth trauma are left managing physical injuries without access to support. Pelvic floor injuries, incontinence, prolapse, and ongoing pain often go undiagnosed or untreated, especially for women who face barriers such as location, cost, or limited awareness of pelvic health physiotherapy.
Our Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Telehealth Service is designed to change that.

- Are your daily activities feeling harder, such as getting out of bed, using the bathroom, walking, lifting your baby or during sex?
