"I am a sports physio interested in women's health including that of and around the pelvis. I took part in the pelvic floor integration - a non-internal pelvic health course. This was absolutely excellent. Mandy presented in an engaging way that covered everything I was hoping for and more. There was a mixture of videos, handouts, self learning tools and all of these helped with the learning. Highly, highly recommend this course for any physio or health practitioner that treats or wants to learn more on and around the pelvis and pelvic floor. Thanks to Mandy for her great course.
