Pelvic Health Experience

Mikhaela is fully qualified to complete internal pelvic floor assessments, credentialed by Dr Melissa Davidson – Pelvic Health Specialist Physiotherapist (NZ). Her clinical training allows her to safely and confidently assess conditions such as pelvic pain, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual pain or dysfunction, and changes following pregnancy or prostate surgery.

She also provides support for ACC Maternal Birth Injury claims, helping women navigate the physical and emotional impacts of birth-related trauma with gentle guidance and personalised rehabilitation.

Musculoskeletal & Functional Rehabilitation

With a strong background in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, Mikhaela brings a whole-body lens to pelvic health. She understands that the pelvic floor does not function in isolation — it interacts closely with the hips, spine, abdominal system, and overall movement patterns.

Her rehabilitation style focuses on:
• Restoring natural, confident movement
• Improving strength and coordination
• Teaching patients to understand their bodies
• Reducing fear around pain and injury
• Building long-term, sustainable habits

She believes in active rehabilitation that empowers people rather than simply treating symptoms. Her goal is to help every patient regain control, rebuild trust in their body, and return to meaningful activities — whether that’s lifting their children, going to the gym, walking pain-free, or enjoying a full, comfortable life.

Clients describe Mikhaela as warm, gentle, and deeply invested in their wellbeing. She takes time to listen to each person’s story, ensuring they feel seen, respected, and supported. Her approach prioritises comfort, safety, and collaboration, allowing patients to progress at their own pace with confidence and clarity.
