Pelvic Health & Pregnancy Care at Osteos of Noosa
with Dr Chelsea Mill, Osteopath
Personalised osteopathic care through pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum recovery and pelvic pain.
WHAT WE HELP WITHSupport at every stage
Pregnancy & birth preparation
Managing aches and pains as your body changes, and preparing your pelvis and pelvic floor for labour
Postpartum recovery
Supporting your body's healing after birth, from core and pelvic floor function to returning to exercise.
C-section prep & recovery
Scar tissue work and whole-body support before and after a caesarean.
Pelvic Pain
Getting to the cause of pelvic, hip or lower back pain — including endometriosis, bladder, bowel and pelvic floor symptoms.
INTERNAL PELVIC HEALTH
Internal assessment and treatment, when it helps.
Some pelvic floor symptoms are best understood with an internal assessment. It's always explained fully beforehand and only ever proceeds with your consent — you're in control the whole way through. It lets me assess pelvic floor muscle tone, strength and coordination directly, so your treatment plan is built around what's actually happening in your body, not guesswork.
Dr Chelsea Mill
Pelvic Health Osteopath
Whole body, whole story
I believe everything in the body is connected. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, I look at your whole body and your whole story — your history, your goals and the stage of life you're in — to get to the real cause of what you're feeling. Whether you're preparing for birth, recovering from one, or working through pelvic pain, my aim is for you to leave feeling heard, educated and supported, with a clear plan for what's next.
Meet Chelsea
Dr Chelsea Mill
Osteopath | Clinical Pilates |Pelvic Health
Hey, I'm Chelsea. I'm passionate about all things women's health and have done extra training in pregnancy and pelvic health. I love working with women to help them understand what's going on in their bodies so they feel educated, empowered and supported — through birth preparation, the postpartum journey, and pelvic, hip or spinal pain, including bowel and bladder issues.
Outside the clinic you'll find Chelsea at the beach, practising yoga and Pilates, or reading in the morning sun with a coffee in hand.

FAQs
-
An osteopath with additional training in pregnancy, postpartum and pelvic floor health. Chelsea uses a whole-body approach — hands-on treatment, education and exercise — to help with symptoms involving the pelvis, bladder, bowel and pelvic floor.
-
Pregnancy aches and pains, birth preparation, postpartum recovery, C-section scarring, pelvic girdle pain, bladder leakage or urgency, prolapse, constipation, pain with intercourse, period pain and endometriosis-related pain, plus general pelvic, hip or lower back pain.
-
Not always. Many pelvic floor issues can be assessed and treated externally. An internal assessment is only ever offered when it will genuinely help your care, and only with your full understanding and consent — you can say no at any point.
-
Chelsea starts with a thorough history — your symptoms, medical history, and obstetric, bladder, bowel and lifestyle factors. From there she runs a physical assessment (postural, movement and functional) and talks you through what she finds, before you build a treatment plan together.
-
Yes — osteopathic treatment can help manage pregnancy aches and pains, support healthy movement as your body changes, and prepare your pelvis and pelvic floor for birth, at any stage of pregnancy.
-
Yes. Chelsea can work on scar tissue and the surrounding tissue, support your core and pelvic floor recovery, and help you return to movement and exercise safely.

Postpartum recovery of your core and pelvic floor, returning to exercise, bladder and bowel symptoms, pelvic or back pain, and general guidance on your body's healing timeline.

Both can assess and treat the pelvic floor. As an osteopath, Chelsea brings a whole-body, hands-on approach — looking at how your spine, hips, pelvis and surrounding tissue all work together — alongside pelvic floor specific treatment and education.
-
Yes. Chelsea can help manage pelvic pain associated with endometriosis using a whole-body approach, alongside your existing specialist care.
-
Chelsea will explain exactly what's involved and why before you start, and it only ever proceeds with your consent. It lets her directly assess pelvic floor muscle tone, strength, coordination and any tenderness, which helps build a more precise treatment plan.
-
Yes. An internal assessment can still go ahead while you're on your period — as long as you're comfortable, and Chelsea will always check in with you throughout.
