The Healthy Peach Physio is a Brisbane-based pelvic health physiotherapy clinic, home to a team of eight specialised physiotherapists. Founded by Marnie Poiner—Physiotherapist and Psychosexual Therapist—the clinic takes a holistic, individualised approach focussing on education, empowerment, and personalised care.

We support women through every life stage—from menarche, through pregnancy and postpartum, and well beyond; Treating a wide range of pelvic health concerns including bladder/bowel dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, and sexual function concerns.

During pregnancy, we work closely with you to help prepare your body for birth. If you’re planning a vaginal birth, assessing pelvic floor function, muscle range of motion, and the effectiveness of your pushing technique—tailored to suit whichever birth position you prefer. Sessions will educate you on each stage of labour, equipping you with practical strategies to navigate the physical and emotional ups and downs. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your birthing journey.

If you’re planning a belly-birth or still deciding, we’ll also walk you through what to expect, how to prepare, and what recovery may look like post-abdominal surgery. No matter how your baby enters the world, we’ll help you understand what’s normal during recovery and when to seek support—so you can feel informed, safe, and cared for.

We also help manage the many physical changes that can arise during pregnancy, including bladder or bowel issues, constipation, vaginal heaviness, varicosities, and pelvic girdle or lower back pain.

Postpartum, we encourage you to visit us for both abdominal and pelvic floor assessments. Abdominal checks can take place as soon as you’re comfortable leaving the house, while pelvic floor assessments are typically recommended around six weeks postpartum. However, if you’re experiencing concerns earlier, it’s important to seek support sooner.

We also offer treatment for lactating breast conditions, including the management of blocked ducts, engorgement, and mastitis. These conditions can be painful and distressing and may impact your feeding journey. Our physiotherapists provide hands-on care and guidance to relieve symptoms, support healing, and help you continue breastfeeding comfortably and confidently.

As you consider returning to physical activity, we’ll guide you through a safe and progressive plan tailored to your body’s healing process and your personal goals.

At The Healthy Peach Physio, we’re committed to helping you feel confident, informed, and in control of your pelvic health—whatever chapter of life you’re in.
