Rebecca Bruce

I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Kinetics in my home country of Canada. I worked as a personal trainer before moving to Melbourne to complete the Doctor of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne in 2013. As a general musculoskeletal physiotherapist in private practice I treated people with pelvic pain and low back pain for years. I subsequently found my niche in pelvic health and completed my post graduate certificate in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne in 2017.

I enjoy seeing a variety of people, men, women, adolescents, gender diverse and transgender people with problems in all areas of pelvic health including all things bladder and bowel including bowel/bladder frequency urgency and incontinence, nocturia. All kinds of pelvic pain including low back pain, pelvic pain, SIJ pain, Coccyx pain and pain with penetration. I also commonly treat prolapse, pre and post natal pelvic floor, menopause, pre and post prostatectomy and musculoskeletal concerns.

I am passionate about pelvic health because so many people suffer in silence for years, not realising help is available or not getting effective help for their symptoms and what a difference it can make to someone’s life when it resolves.

I love combining my understanding of the external and internal pelvis and my personal training skills to empower people to regain confidence in themselves and their bodies and be able to do the things that they love again.

When I am not at work I enjoy exploring the local natural beauty of the peninsula with my husband and our 4 small children ages 5 and under including twins.
