"I recently completed the Pelvic Health Foundations course. I was so impressed by how thorough and relatable the online content was, with real examples interspersed in all scenarios. The face to face sessions were equally thorough and enabled me to practice the theory that I had learnt online. I would highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to follow a Pelvic Health Physiotherapy path at a manageable pace. "
