My mission is to remove the taboo around pelvic health. In my clinical practice I can only help one patient at a time. As a clinical educator, I can share my knowledge and experience with you so you can help all people with pelvic health issues in your community.

I am currently the only Specialist Physiotherapist in Pelvic Health registered with the New Zealand Physiotherapy Board. This is my specialty. This is my passion. I graduated in 1990, and since then I have worked hard to extend my knowledge and skills in pelvic health with Post Graduate Certifications, a research Masters, and a PhD.

At Dr Melissa Davidson - Pelvic Health Training, we offer evidence-informed, clinically relevant courses to give you hands on skills you can apply immediately in your own practice. These courses are now available fully online or in hybrid format so you can learn this vital information where ever you want, whenever you want.

We specialize in providing courses that encourage multidisciplinary training opportunities: physiotherapists, medical doctors, nurses, osteopaths, extended care paramedics, clinical nurse specialists, consultant specialists, midwives, nurse practitioners, exercise physiologists, and personal trainers. If you are keen to learn about pelvic health, we are keen to train you! 

Help us spread the word about pelvic health and #removethetaboo.
