About us
We are Wellington’s only clinic that focuses exclusively on pelvic health, with over 25 years experience. Pelvic Health Physiotherapy was established by Liz Childs. It has grown substantially and Liz now has a carefully chosen team of dedicated and passionate pelvic health physiotherapists committed to providing personalised, expert treatment for their patients.
Staff attend courses and conferences, along with regular inhouse training, to ensure they all provide up to date and consistent evidence-based treatment. You can be sure that whoever you see, you will get the same quality care.
