We’re experienced Women’s Health Exercise Physiologists & Pelvic Health Physiotherapists based in North Brisbane

As a powerhouse team of women’s health experts, we can help with tailoring a program to start where you are, and to help with reaching your goals, and protecting your pelvic floor health.

So what exactly is Women’s Health Exercise Physiology?

We are so glad you asked! To answer, first we should explain what exercise physiology is! Exercise Physiologists (EP’s for short!) are allied health practitioners who are ‘active therapists’ - using exercise, movement and education as medicine to help manage injury, illness, chronic conditions as well as optimising sports and performance.

  • - experience any leaking of urine when you cough, laugh, sneeze or exercise, or feel desperate to run to the loo!

    - don’t know what exercises to do after having a baby, or having cancer, or having surgery, or find movements can cause you pain

    - have had a baby in the last 5 years and have concerns about your pelvic floor, including feeling heaviness in your pelvis, or pain during sex

    - have a condition like EDS/hyper-mobility, POTS, CFS/ME or fibromyalgia

    - have a condition like prolapse and want to exercise safely (yes - you can exercise - in fact its one of the best things you can do!)

    - have had a hysterectomy or laparoscopy or mastectomy surgery and want support in rehabilitation

    - are pregnant and want to keep moving safely

    - have been told you have osteoporosis, or at risk of osteopenia and want to use exercise to help support your bones

Hydrotherapy is water-based exercise used to treat and manage both chronic health conditions and injury rehabilitation. Due to the buoyancy of the water, hydrotherapy allows you to exercise with reduced weight bearing and greater overall range of motion.

Amazing results from our clients

  • My specialist suggested I try Pear post endometriosis excision surgery to help with the ongoing chronic pain I was suffering that was not improving with medication alone. I was linked in with Esme, who really took the time to listen and learn about what was happening for me at that time and set realistic goals. I saw her for about 6 months in the studio and was able to continue at home with a plan to increase my physical activity without incurring a huge endo flare. I'm just over 12 months post op now, and I went to the gym for the first time this morning completely pain free! Before seeing Esme I would have a 5 day full flare if I attempted a 20 minute gentle workout. My quality of life is so much better thanks to Esme and the Pear team, thank you for educating me about how my body works and how exercise can be used as a tool to heal. The communication back to my specialist was great. This took the burden off my shoulders of communicating with each of my care providers (when you have chronic pain, this can be a whole lot of people) Thank you for being part of my treatment team. I'll definitely be coming back when we start a family. Thanks Pear!

  • I started prenatal Pilates at Pear when pregnant with my 2nd which contributed to a smooth pregnancy and easy recovery. Since then I've done post-natal Pilates with Annika, the occasional massage with Michelle (heavenly!), exercise physiology with Georgia and pelvic floor physio with Patrice. Georgia has been amazing at building my program up & helping me meet my goals, she's the ultimate hype girl 😆 Patrice has worked so hard with me on my pelvic floor issues, her care & home plans are second to none, and the team all work together to ensure joined up support. After my last appointment with Patrice and Georgia I had sign off to return to sport and am feeling like wonder woman! Thanks to the whole 🍐😀 team!

  • I can’t thank Pear enough got the support during and I and after my pregnancy I started with reform Pilates at eight weeks (with abdominal separation from my first pregnancy four years earlier) and continued until 36 weeks. This pregnancy was completely different - I was stronger and had minimal pain throughout my pregnancy even though my bub weighed in at 4.4 kg!
My abdominal separation is all but gone - I have had no aches and pains (unlike my first) and I am now doing the return to run class -which is fantastic! I highly recommend pear to anyone pregnant or postpartum.

    Amber (Kedron)

  • I have been a patient at Pear for a few years and I recommend it to any women looking for support with exercise and chronic illness. I saw Esme and Tash for help with exercise while managing POTs, and they were both extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to personalise my exercise plan, as well as teaching me things I can do myself at home to improve my health. I also recommend Michelle for massage therapy and Patrice for pelvic floor physio. The admin team is also super lovely and helpful! Pear offers a truly holistic approach to women's health needs.

    Hannah (Wavell Heights)

  • I cannot speak more highly of Pear’s team and services and am already sharing with all of my mum friends. Feeling encouraged and empowered through the education and guidance I have received in my pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions with Amanda and my labour prep massage was incredible! Looking forward to more time at Mums and Bubs in the coming months.

    Stephanie (Wilston)

  • So impressed with Pear. I have been for both exercise physiology during my pregnancy and to the physio therapist for support with pelvic floor in the months after my baby was born. Could not speak highly enough of the excellent care, knowledge and professionalism of the health professionals I have received care from. If you are considering seeing a health professional in relation to women’s health issues I could not recommend this service enough!
