Sue Croft OAM is an experienced physiotherapist who has worked for over 33 years in Women’s Health and pelvic health. Sue worked as a solo practitioner for 20 years, but the demand for pelvic health services has escalated over the last decade and she realised it was time to employ other experienced, pelvic health physiotherapists to help women, men and children with their bladder, bowel and pain issues. Sue has now expanded to having seven physiotherapists, who are able to help you with any complex pelvic health problems.

Sue has also trained the physiotherapists in the way she incorporates the necessary, extensive education, for whatever the condition may be, so the patient can fully grasp the changes that may need to be made in their lives to solve the problems. All the physiotherapists at Sue Croft Physiotherapy have her same passion for pelvic health physiotherapy, have studied extensively with courses and will always seek her advice should there be a problem that needs to be solved.

Starting as soon as you are able is important to start the journey of new learnings for your pelvic health condition. Every patient who is seen at our practice will receive one of the two books that Sue has authored (Pelvic Floor Recovery: Physiotherapy for Gynaecological and Colorectal Repair Surgery (NEW 5th Edition) and Pelvic Floor Essentials (4th Edition) ) as a part of their consultation. There is also a new German translation of ‘Recovery’ titled  ‘Beckenbodenrehabilitation – Physiotherapie für die gynäkologische und kolorektale Chirurgie’

Sue was awarded to Order of Australia Medal in 2023 for service to the community as a physiotherapist.
