Pelvic Health
What is Pelvic Health
Pelvic health is an essential - and often overlooked part of your overall wellbeing. The pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, play a key role in continence, support core stability, and contribute to sexual function.
At our clinic, Dr Maddie Ding provides comprehensive pelvic health assessments and treatments in a safe, respectful and supportive environment.

Pelvic health osteopathy can assist with:
- Urinary leakage (stress or urge incontinence)
- Urinary urgency or frequency
- Pelvic pain
- Pain with intercourse

Dr Maddie is trained in both external and internal pelvic health assessments and treatments.
