Pelvic Physiotherapy
Polly Levinson
Physiotherapist - Pelvic Health
Polly has had a varied career since graduating as a physiotherapist from the University of Sydney in 2000. She worked across different roles (musculoskeletal, sports, palliative care) before finding her niche in the world of pelvic health, an area she has been working in passionately since 2011.
Polly worked for many years at the Royal Hospital for Women alongside some of Sydney’s top obstetricians, gynaecologists, urologists, colorectal surgeons and pain specialists. She has completed post-graduate training in the management of pelvic organ prolapse and pessary fittings.
After the births of her own two children, Polly worked hard at getting back to her love of running and is super passionate about working with new mums (and all women) to reach their exercise goals.
Polly also works as a Senior Clinical Educator for the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia, a not-for-profit organisation where she delivers pain education programs across schools, sporting and community groups and to other health practitioners.
Polly has a sensitive and caring approach to her work with all of her clients.
