How the pelvic health rehab program works...
Our Pelvic Health Rehab Program is a 12-week program designed around our unique treatment framework. A 4 phased approach to exercise programming:
Phase 1: Connection - This phase is all about developing neural pathways that will improve how the pelvic floor and deeper core muscles work. This is essential to learn as each phase builds on these foundational concepts.
Phase 2: Building muscular balance - this phase addressing muscular imbalances surrounding your pelvis and trunk that are contributing to your symptoms. This is where we improve your posture and total body alignment.
Phase 3: Integration - phase 3 teaches you how to take concepts from the first 2 phases and apply them to the way you move in daily life and in your exercise routine. This is where the magic happens, especially if you experience symptoms in activities of daily living or basic movements.
Phase 4: Strength - After mastering integration we now improve the strength of the system. your pelvic floor and deep core know how to work well but they now need strength to match the demands of your activities.
This structure has been designed based on up-to-date research with a focus on progression. Progression is a key component that is missing with many other therapies. This program moves beyond Kegels and really addresses all the contributors of your symptoms. It has helped women with pelvic floor dysfunction just like you get back to the activities they love with less leaking and a whole lot of confidence.
a personalized approach to your pelvic floor treatment
You still have symptoms because you haven’t worked through a movement based approach.
If you didn’t already your pelvic floor requires more than just kegels to work well. Sometimes Kegels can make your symptoms worse, indicating more pelvic floor tightness based problems, and sometimes you can do all the kegels in the world and you will still have issues of leaking, heaviness and even pelvic pain.
This is because your pelvic floor is part of your deeper core stability system and this means many other things impact how it works. Thigs like your pelvic stability, spinal mobility, general posture, breathing mechanics, stress levels and even things like poor gut health and changes in hormones can cause an unhappy pelvic floor.
Corrective exercise is a term we use to describe exercises inside phase 1 and phase 2 of the process. These exercises aim to train muscles to work correctly. This goes beyond learning to relax or contract a muscle in isolation (like kegels) but works through an integrative movement-based approach. It aims to teach initial contraction and relaxation of muscles and then continue to train them to show up properly in all variations of movement, daily activities and exercise. This takes slow progression over time. It requires an exercise program that progresses in nature, moves away from manual therapy and is movement based.
If you have been seeing a women’s health physiotherapist for ongoing pelvic floor treatment, haven’t been given exercises beyond pelvic floor kegels and hip stretches then you will never see improvements in your symptoms or be able to get back into exercise without pelvic floor symptoms.
You need a movement-based approach, progressing beyond basic pelvic floor exercises to change how your muscles are working. This is exactly what we do inside our Pelvic Health Rehab Program.
The Pelvic Health rehab Program is for you if…
You experience urinary incontinence of any kind. Whether it is during daily life or exercise, no one wants to worry about this on the regular.

You have a tight pelvic floor and have feelings or urgency, irritation, pain with insertion and unresolved hip, pelvic or low back pain.
You don’t know what is going on but you have bothersome symptoms and need help resolving them.
“I was a bit sceptical about how she was going to treat me over zoom but I was proven wrong. She uses photos you take of yourself along with using the zoom call to do some basic mobility exercises. Her ability to spot the tiny nuances in your movement is amazing. Thanks to her amazing eye and deep knowledge of women's body, she was able to pinpoint the right exercises to help me gain strength in the right areas...”

testimonials
“Courtenay helped me return to running and strength training following my 3rd baby. I was able to use exercise to correctly co-ordinate my core and pelvic floor to stop my leaking with running and have learnt so much along the way, that I can now self-manage through exercise. Courtenay also helped me learn to lift more effectively and to combat my back pain with strength training. Thank you for providing me with an opportunity to develop a super sense of body awareness and empowering me with the skills to continue training without pain or leaking.”
“I approached Courtenay after following her on social media for awhile. I was 10 years postpartum and experiencing ongoing hip and back pain and despite being a Women’s Fitness Trainer myself, was frustrated that I couldn’t “fix” it. I needed a different perspective. Fascinated by how the online clinic would work I spoke with Courtenay and signed up straight away.
Courtenay has thought of everything with regard to how she will help get you results. From supplying initial info and photographs to using your computer/camera in the privacy of your own home to be cued through exercises and be educated.
Courtenay has a natural gift when it comes to asking the right questions, cueing, troubleshooting and getting YOU to understand your own body, how it feels and how it needs to work to be pain and symptom free.
I would recommend Courtenay to anyone experiencing pelvic floor, abdominal, hip or back dysfunction or pain or any Women’s related matter. She is so knowledgeable, friendly and makes you feel comfortable instantly and she gets results!”
“Courtenay has a huge range of knowledge and an ability to explain and share her knowledge with anyone.
She has helped me better understand my body and how to align everything to ensure everything is working correctly. Little did I know that how I breathe impacts my pelvic floor.
Courtenay was able to incorporate my exercises into my training program to ensure I’m getting the correct outcomes from both programs.”
“Courtenay has made the world of different to my pelvic floor health, my capacity to feel comfortable returning to the exercises I love and has helped to shift a very negative mindset I had around my pelvic floor health. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with someone who not only has such great knowledge and experience in this area but is also so passionate about sharing it. I honestly couldn’t have imagined the progress I would have made in the relatively short time I worked with Courtenay and I now feel confident to carry on with improving my health and wellbeing into the future. Hands down would recommend to anyone who is a little nervous to give it a try.”
“So stoked to have found Courtenay! At my 6 week check up, my Dr told me I had a minor prolapse and didn’t give me much information on how to heal. I was so lost! And then I found ‘HER Exercise Physiology’. With Courtenay’s help, I have been able to get the strength back in my pelvic floor, minimise my lower back aches drastically, and I am armed with so much knowledge now that I don’t fear exercise or sneezing!! She has helped me build strength and confidence and I am forever grateful I enlisted her help! Strongly recommend her services!”
“I can’t thank Courtenay enough for all she has helped me accomplish! After having my first baby I was unable to walk, workout or even do simple housework without pelvic floor issues. After just 1 week I already saw small improvements and now 6 weeks later I am getting so close to my usual activities. I saw a physio who could not give me any answers or help and was lost of where to go from there. I am so happy I went to Courtenay! She has helped me get not only my strength back but my confidence as well!
Ladies you will not regret reaching out to HER Exercise Physiology!”
