Pelvic floor issues are more common than many realise, with around 1 in 3 women experiencing bladder leaks, pelvic pain, or prolapse during their lifetime. Sadly, many women suffer in silence—either unsure where to turn for help or believing these symptoms are something they “just have to live with.” 

At Canning Healthcare, Melissa Booyens provides specialised pelvic health physiotherapy to help women feel confident, comfortable, and in control of their bodies again. She offers a safe, supportive environment where concerns can be openly discussed and addressed with professional care.

• Pelvic Floor Function – Comprehensive assessment of muscle strength, tone, and coordination using real-time ultrasound imaging and, where appropriate, internal or external pelvic floor assessments. Treatment is tailored to improve control, reduce leakage, and restore normal function. 

• Pelvic Organ Prolapse – Individualised rehabilitation programs to strengthen pelvic support, improve symptoms, and help you feel safe returning to exercise and daily activity. 

• Bladder Concerns – Thorough assessment and management of urinary incontinence, urgency, and leakage during activity, using a combination of pelvic floor training, bladder retraining, and education. 

• Bowel Problems – Support for constipation or bowel leakage, addressing muscle coordination, movement patterns, and contributing lifestyle factors. 

• Pelvic Pain – Targeted therapy to ease pain experienced during movement, rest, or intimacy, using a whole-body approach that considers physical, emotional, and neurological factors. 

• Pregnancy & Postnatal Care – Relief for pregnancy-related aches and pains, preparation for labour, and safe postnatal recovery plans for abdominal separation, pelvic floor trauma, or general weakness.
