Empowering Women. Supporting Recovery. Restoring Confidence.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is this normal?” about bladder leaks, pelvic discomfort, or changes after having a baby – you’re not alone. And the answer is: no, it’s not something you just have to live with.
Pelvic health physiotherapy can help. And it might make a bigger difference than you think.
At New Plymouth Physiotherapy, we offer a dedicated Pelvic Health service delivered by Sante Beasant – a UK-trained physiotherapist with over 10 years of experience and a specialist focus on women’s health and paediatrics.
What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
Pelvic health physiotherapy is specialised care for the muscles, joints, and connective tissues of the pelvis – structures that play a vital role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, childbirth recovery, and core stability.
When these systems aren’t working as they should, it affects everyday life. The good news? With the right support, most conditions respond really well to treatment.
Common Conditions We Treat
- Bladder leakage (when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise)
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Pregnancy-related pelvic or back pain
- Postnatal recovery – whether you had a C-section or vaginal birth
- Pain with sex
- Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
- Constipation or bowel dysfunction
- Paediatric pelvic issues (bedwetting, constipation, and more)
How We Can Help
Sante takes a whole-person approach combining hands-on treatment, exercise programmes and practical education to:
- Rebuild pelvic floor strength and control
- Improve core function and breathing patterns
- Reduce pain and discomfort
- Restore confidence in your body
- Get you back to the activities and lifestyle you love
For some conditions, we can also offer treatment with the Tesla Chair – a non-invasive technology that uses focused electromagnetic energy to strengthen pelvic floor muscles, hands-free. It’s a great option for those who find traditional pelvic floor exercises difficult or want to accelerate their progress.
Ask Sante whether it might be right for you.

Pelvic health is deeply personal but it doesn’t have to be a secret you carry alone. Whether you’ve just had a baby, are preparing for birth, managing a long-standing condition, or simply want to stop planning your day around toilet breaks, we’re here for you.
