Pioneering pelvic health for over three decades

Pelvic Health Matters has been at the forefront of pelvic health physiotherapy for over 30 years. We’ve earned a strong reputation as a centre of excellence – not only among our peers and colleagues, but also within academic circles and across the media.

At the heart of this recognition is our founder and director, Shan Morrison – Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists. As a respected industry leader, Shan has spent more than three decades advancing the pelvic health field through:

  • Ongoing learning
  • Leading an evidence-based practice
  • Delivering vital pelvic health promotion in the media
  • Lecturing and teaching health professionals

Further, alongside her esteemed team of mostly titled physiotherapists, Shan is regularly invited to present at national and international conferences, lecture at universities, and appear on television and radio. She also contributes her expertise as a board and committee member for key pelvic health organisations and events.
