“We work together to understand and improve your symptoms”.

Alexandra Diggles

Founder & Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Brisbane

Bringing clarity, direction and leadership to complex pelvic health care

Alexandra is the founder of Pelviology and a Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, having completed the highest level of recognised training in Australia through the Australian College of Physiotherapists.

She works with individuals experiencing persistent pelvic pain, bladder and bowel dysfunction, post-surgical recovery, and presentations that haven’t improved with previous care.

Patients often say, “no one has explained this so clearly before.”

Specialist Care at Pelviology

Alexandra is among a small number of physiotherapists nationally - and the only clinician in Queensland with formal Specialist recognition in pelvic health.

Her role within Pelviology extends beyond individual consultations.

She provides:

  • advanced assessment and clinical direction for complex cases

  • mentorship and collaboration within the Pelviology team

  • structured treatment planning alongside your treating physiotherapist

This means that even if you are not seeing Alexandra directly, your care may still benefit from Specialist input as part of a collaborative team approach.

Appointments with Alexandra are typically reserved for individuals requiring advanced clinical reasoning, complex care planning, or second-opinion consultation.

What It’s Like to Work With Alexandra

Alexandra thrives in complexity.

She is known for helping people make sense of what has felt confusing, fragmented or overwhelming - bringing together the full picture of their symptoms, history and care.

Her role is not just to treat, but to guide.

She helps you:

  • understand what’s happening in your body

  • see how different treatments and providers connect

  • and move forward with a clear, structured plan

Her approach is strategic and outcomes-focused, but always grounded in the person in front of her.

She believes that healthcare should feel human. Where appropriate, she brings humour into sessions — helping to create a space that feels safe, collaborative and a little less overwhelming.

Who Alexandra Works Best With

Alexandra is particularly suited to:

  • Complex or long-standing pelvic health conditions

  • Persistent pelvic pain

  • Bladder and bowel dysfunction

  • Post-surgical or medically complex presentations

  • Individuals who have seen multiple practitioners without clear progress

  • Those wanting a structured, whole-person approach to care

She is often the clinician people seek when they are ready to understand their condition more deeply and move forward with clarity.

Her Approach

Alexandra’s approach is strategic, evidence-based and neurologically informed.

She combines:

  • detailed assessment and pattern recognition

  • education and behavioural coaching

  • functional movement and pelvic floor integration

  • understanding of neurophysiology and pain science

Her focus is on identifying the right treatment at the right time — whether that is physiotherapy-led care or integrating medical and interdisciplinary support.

When things feel overwhelming, Alexandra often maps out care visually — creating clear, practical plans that can be revisited and adapted as needed.

Her goal is to help you feel confident, informed and supported in your healthcare journey - without losing sight of the human experience within it.

  • Bladder and bowel dysfunction

Why Pelviology Exists

Pelviology was created to deliver a higher standard of pelvic health care.

Not just for common conditions - but across the full spectrum of pelvic health, including complex pain, neurological conditions, men’s health and gender-affirming care.

Alexandra’s vision was to build a team and system of care that is:

  • evidence-based

  • collaborative

  • inclusive

  • and capable of managing complexity with clarity
