A targeted approach
By highly experienced and multifaceted therapists who have treated elite level sportspeople with complex injuries
Indianna, Tiele and Claire are strong advocates for increasing pelvic floor function. This is supported by high-quality scientific evidence that shows you can successfully treat pelvic floor problems with a personalised pelvic health program designed and managed by a specifically trained physiotherapist.
For lactation & breastfeeding issues we use therapeutic ultrasound and lymphatic release techniques for the breast as an effective physiotherapy treatment that can relieve the symptoms of breast engorgement, blocked ducts or mastitis. It is used as part of holistic treatment to help women continue to breastfeed their baby.
