All the things your pelvic floor wishes you knew

A free educational event, empowering women with knowledge about their pelvic floor health, from women's health physiotherapist, Odette.

There’s part of our health many of us were taught to quietly put up with – and we think it’s time we changed that.

Pelvic health issues affect 1 in 3 Australian women over the age of 15, but most of us were never taught what ‘normal’ looks like.

Leaking when you cough, sneeze or laugh is just one of the signs your pelvic floor needs support – and it’s more common and treatable than you may think.

This free event offers a holistic and evidence-based approach, delivered by Odette Gaynor who brings:

  • 15 years of experience in continence and pelvic health
  • Masters of Clinical Physiotherapy (Continence and Pelvic Health)
  • Passion for supporting women

When: Thursday 13th August 2026

Time: 9.30am – 10.45am

Where: Luma, 98 Onslow Road, Shenton Park

Tea / Coffee and Fruit Platter provided

Who is this for: Anyone experiencing Pelvic Pain, Incontinence, Bladder & Bowel Dysfunction
