We are looking for our women's health and fitness focused physio to join our fun, supportive and growing team on Saturdays! This is a permanent role and would suit a physio with group instruction experience. The low-down: ⭐️ Permanent position, half or...

We hear the word "weak" thrown around a lot when it comes to describing pelvic floor issues. If you have experienced urgency (having to rush to the bathroom), leakage or heaviness, you might have imagined your pelvic floor like a floppy sheet of cooked lasagne! But...

As soon as the weather warms up, sandals, slides and thongs come out of the closet and become our footwear of choice over the summer months. Unfortunately, they aren’t doing any favours for our feet. Suddenly we are walking a stack km’s in footwear with very little...

So, there you are, standing at the door, with your hospital bag in hand and a strong contraction. What on earth happens now? For many women, the thought of getting through labour and delivering a baby can bring on serious self-doubt and trepidation. What if we told...
