ABOUT SCENCE
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Pelvic health care that sees the whole woman.
Scence is a women’s pelvic health physiotherapy practice in Bayside and Melbourne. We support women through pregnancy, postpartum and every stage of life after, with one-on-one care tailored to your body, your birth and your goals.
Our story
WHERE SCENCE BEGAN
Scence takes its name from matrescence, the physical, emotional and psychological shift of becoming a mother. It’s one of the biggest transitions a woman goes through, and it deserves care and understanding.
Scence began in 2023 with a simple belief: when women understand their bodies, they make empowered, informed choices. In pregnancy, that means knowing how to stay strong, comfortable and moving, and preparing your body for birth, however your baby arrives. After birth, it means a clear path back to feeling like yourself, and to the movement you love.
Prepared in pregnancy.
Supported after birth.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Our why
Birth changes you. It doesn’t define you.
Whether your birth went to plan or nothing like it, whether you’re expecting your first or your youngest has just started school, you deserve care that sees the whole woman, not just the birth.
Your body does extraordinary things. It deserves time, attention and a plan to help you feel strong and confident in it. Whether you’ve had a baby or not, your pelvic health deserves the same care at every stage of life.
It makes scence.
How we care
OUR APPROACH
One-on-one time
Every appointment is just you and your physio. You’ll have time to talk, ask questions and be truly listened to.
Informed, evidence-based care
Treatment grounded in current research and explained in plain language, so you can make confident, informed choices about your body.
Strong through every stage
From pregnancy and postpartum to menopause and beyond, we help you stay active and return to the movement you love.
Care that connects
We work alongside your GP, obstetrician, gynaecologist or midwife, so every part of your care is supported as a whole.
