PELVIC HEALTH MELBOURNE

What PELVIC HEALTH MELBOURNE does

Pelvic Health Melbourne is a privately-held, specialist pelvic health physiotherapy practice headquartered in Altona North, Victoria, with two additional clinic locations in Caroline Springs and Maidstone serving Melbourne's western and north-western suburbs. The practice was founded by Director Alexandra Lopes, a physiotherapist with 30 years of clinical experience and former National Chair of the Australian Physiotherapy Association's Women's, Men's, and Pelvic Health Group, and serves four primary patient cohorts: women (including pregnancy, postnatal, menopause, prolapse, and pelvic pain), men (including prostate health, post-prostatectomy rehab, erectile dysfunction, and pelvic pain), transgender and intersex individuals (including gender-affirming surgery recovery), and children (including bedwetting, constipation, and toilet training). The clinical model relies on evidence-based assessment including real-time transabdominal, trans-labial, transperineal, and rectal ultrasound, complemented by therapeutic ultrasound, pessary fittings, and clinical reformer Pilates-based rehabilitation. The practice also delivers multidisciplinary allied health (osteopathy, myotherapy, psychology, gastro diagnostics) and accepts NDIS-funded participants.

The business operates four revenue streams: (1) one-on-one clinical physiotherapy consultations across its three clinics; (2) recurring public exercise programs — PILATES every body (clinical reformer Pilates), BODY strong men (men's strength), and free BODY after baby educational sessions — priced at A$44-55 per class with tiered multi-class passes (A$247 for 5 classes, A$880 for 20 classes); (3) NDIS allied health services under managed-care arrangements; and (4) professional education courses for physiotherapists and osteopaths across Australasia, now operated under a separate 'Pelvic Health Australia' banner (Men's Health Unpeeled, Pelvic Health Foundations, PGP Uncovered, Real-time Ultrasound, Rectal, and Pelvic Pain courses). Customer acquisition combines free education events (which funnel attendees into clinical services), GP and specialist referral relationships, content marketing through the practice blog, and practitioner training as both revenue and referral source. The company is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding, and its Director also co-leads Symmetry Physiotherapy, an affiliated 12-location Melbourne physiotherapy group.

Direct peers

• Core Physiotherapy & Pilates: Multi-location Australian physiotherapy group bundling clinical Pilates with physiotherapy services. Comparable bundling model (clinical + Pilates) to PHM's Pilates every body offering.
• Pelvic Solutions (Brisbane): Queensland pelvic health physiotherapy specialist with similar condition coverage (incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain, pre/postnatal). Direct category peer in a different Australian geography.
• Women's Health Training Associates (WHTA): Australian pelvic health professional training provider whose courses are a prerequisite for PHM's offerings. Competes directly with Pelvic Health Australia in the postgrad pelvic health education market.
• Sydney Pelvic Clinic: Specialist pelvic health physiotherapy clinic servicing men and women in Sydney, with comparable service offerings (continence, prolapse, pelvic pain, post-prostatectomy rehab). Direct regional peer in the same specialty.
• Body Logic Physiotherapy: Perth-based pelvic health physiotherapy practice offering women's, men's, and pediatric pelvic health services. Comparable specialist positioning and service catalog to PHM in a different state.
• Symmetry Physiotherapy: Melbourne-based multi-location physiotherapy group co-directed by PHM's founder Alexandra Lopes, encompassing 12 locations. Shares leadership, referral network, and operating geography with PHM, making it the closest operational peer (essentially a sister company).

Regional players

• Calvary Health Care: Major Australian private hospital and community care provider; large-scale pelvic health physiotherapy services embedded in tertiary care settings represent a structural alternative to PHM's outpatient specialist model.

Others

• Continence Foundation of Australia: National peak body for incontinence and pelvic health; PHM has delivered education modules for CFA and team members hold CFA certificates. Not a commercial peer but a key ecosystem/credentialing body.

Broad incumbents

• APM (Australian Physiotherapy & Management): Large Australian allied health provider with physiotherapy services including NDIS-funded offerings. Broad incumbent competing for NDIS pelvic health patients and employer contracts.
• Healthia Limited: ASX-listed Australian allied health network operating physiotherapy, podiatry, and related services across 170+ locations. Represents the large-scale competitive threat that can absorb pelvic health within broader service offerings.
