Both Rebecca and Stacey are also trained in Manual therapy, Clinical Pilates and Acupuncture. Rebecca and Stacey believe that they can make the most difference to their client’s lives by educating them about their bodies, as well as giving them the tools to keep them performing at their best.

We encourage all pregnant women and new mums to be checked by a Women's Health Physiotherapist for advice on the best care of yourself and your body so you can feel empowered and confident on your journey into motherhood. Please note: If you have ANY pelvic floor symptoms (e.g. leaking, prolapse symptoms, painful sex) please book in for an Initial Private Pelvic Floor Appointment instead of a WOF. Our postnatal WOFs include an ultrasound of your pelvic floor so please try to attend with a moderately full bladder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b9d8ce8a02c7a9179a39a2/b9f5d198-ba05-414b-ab41-43d8a1460744/2017_12_01_LETO27088.jpg Home - Real Time Ultrasound Scan RTUS allows us to see how your muscles working in real time. This enables your physiotherapist to show you how to activate and control the muscle more effectively. Similar to an obstetric ultrasound it is a comfortable and non-invasive scan. Many women feel concern over whether or not they are activating their ‘core’ and ‘pelvic floor muscles’ correctly during their gym workouts or pilates classes. RTUS is great visual feedback tool for you to see how to engage these muscles correctly. Please note imaging is usually best when the client has a moderately full bladder. * For women with pelvic floor concerns, a follow up appointment may be suggested for a physical examination and internal assessment. A full explanation about this assessment is always given and your consent will be established prior to any assessment taking place. https://www.leto.co.nz/shop-2 daily 0.75 2023-11-29 https://www.leto.co.nz/shop-2/p/the-leto-belt monthly 0.5 2024-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b9d8ce8a02c7a9179a39a2/1571619126621-PTCN68UTKLQYX87GXD7Z/belt+logo+final.png SHOP LETO BELT - Leto Belt https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59b9d8ce8a02c7a9179a39a2/1565165374039-MU4E5S0ZBXQF1JYT52NT/belt+buggy+pic.jpg SHOP LETO BELT - Leto Belt
