Leaking or incontinence of bladder or bowels
Pelvic floor pain or dragging/heaviness
Feeling or seeing bulge in pelvic floor
Pelvic or lower back pain
Gap in your tummy, or pendular abdomen
Want to go back to high impact exercise after birth

She qualified in 2012 with an MSc in Rehabilitation Sciences (Physiotherapy) after a previous Bsc in Psychology and Anthropology. This unique combination has given Eve an interest in the mind/body connection and how this can be used in healing and pain management.
