Clair McKenzie
Clair worked extensively in the private and public sectors earlier in her career, primarily helping people suffering from musculoskeletal conditions such as back, pelvic and shoulder pain. Inspired by her own experiences having children, she has realised a passion for the management of pelvic floor dysfunction in both men, women and children and has specialised in this area since 2014.
After completing the ICCS course for Paediatric Incontinence in 2018, Clair has commenced seeing children for management of bladder and bowel dysfunction.
More recently in 2022, Clair completed a Post Graduate Certificate in the Conservative Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse through the University of South Australia, which included achieving competency in the fitting of pessaries for prolapse. She now runs the Pessary Clinic for Inner Strength.
Outside of physiotherapy, Clair enjoys a chaotic life with three children and savours her quieter times to drink a coffee, read a good book, mountain bike or go to the gym.
