Pelvic Physio
Sydney Pelvic Clinic was established to provide a specialised service for men and women suffering with pelvic dysfunction. We see an increasing number of people from Sydney and all over regional Australia as well as interstate and international clients with a wide range of pelvic issues. Many of these people have suffered for a long time and feel relieved to finally find a solution to their issue.
Let’s Talk About This
Issues in the pelvic region can sometimes be a source of embarrassment as well as not always being sure that the pelvis is the source of your concerns! We are experienced in working with men, women, trans* people and children to help you talk about and describe the nature of your pain or difficulty. We’re here to help you overcome these challenges so that you can live a higher quality of life free from pain, discomfort and embarrassment. We will work with you with sensitivity and discretion. Telehealth appointments are also available if you prefer not to come into the clinic, or if you live outside of Sydney.
