Liz Childs

I have been a pelvic health physiotherapist in Wellington for over 25 years, treating people of all ages and genders with a wide range of pelvic health disorders. I completed postgraduate training in pelvic floor physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne, and now run a specialised pelvic health clinic, employing and mentoring four other experienced pelvic health physios.
I am on the National Executive of Continence New Zealand and present regularly at conferences and workshops. I recently co-authored a Pregnancy Guidebook, on behalf of Continence NZ, with advice on prevention and treatment of pelvic floor disorders - during pregnancy and the postnatal period, as well as longer term. This is now available free online and will soon be available in print for all pregnant people to access.

I also have a special interest in helping people who have experienced trauma, to improve their pelvic floor function and quality of life.
