Sophie Alderslade, Master of Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health)
Sophie graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia in 2019. Growing up with a love of sport, she initially saw herself pursuing a career in sports physiotherapy. However, during her early years working in private practice, she began treating pregnant and postpartum women — and quickly discovered a passion for pelvic health that would shape her career.
Sophie went on to complete her Master of Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health) at the University ofMelbourne, graduating with First Class Honours in 2025. She has also achieved APA Titling as a Women’s, Men’s & Pelvic Health Physiotherapist — recognition of advanced clinical expertise and leadership within the field of pelvic health.
In addition, Sophie holds qualifications in neuromuscular dry needling and Clinical Pilates, allowing her to integrate hands-on treatment with targeted rehabilitation strategies.
As part of her Master’s degree, Sophie conducted original research into pelvic pain and endometriosis in Adelaide — a condition she is deeply passionate about improving awareness and care for. A significant milestone was achieved through this research, with Sophie advocating for meaningful improvements in pelvic pain management within South Australia.
Sophie is committed to ongoing education and evidence-based practice, ensuring her patients receive the highest standard of care.
Sophie is passionate about supporting individuals across all stages of life to regain confidence, control and comfort in their bodies. Whether guiding women through pregnancy, supporting postpartum recovery or helping individuals navigate complex pelvic health conditions, she strives to create a safe, respectful and empowering environment for you to share your story (free of judgement!).
Her ethos extends beyond symptom relief. Sophie believes in educating, empowering and collaborating with each patient to achieve meaningful, long-lasting outcomes. She recognises that no two presentations are the same, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. Together, you will develop an individualised management plan aligned with your goals — so you can return to doing what you love.
And yes — she is especially passionate about helping women with the fundamental three P’s of everyday life: pee, poo and pleasure.
Sophie grew up in Tanunda in the Barossa Valley, where community, connection and a love of wine were part of daily life. Growing up in a close-knit country town instilled in her the importance of kindness, support and genuine care for those around her — values she carries into her clinical work every day.
Known for her bubbly, warm and motivating personality, Sophie brings positive energy into every session. Outside the clinic, she rarely sits still — she loves keeping active, listening to music, and sharing plenty of laughs with friends and family.
