Alina Filipe Nunes
She/her/hers
I’m Alina, an APA Titled Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist with postgraduate training from Curtin University and additional qualifications in counselling. I provide care for women, men, and children with a wide range of pelvic health conditions.
Alongside clinical practice, I’m involved in research, teaching, and advocacy in sexual and pelvic pain, and I mentor physiotherapists. My personal experience of living with pelvic pain has shaped my approach—combining empathy, evidence, and collaboration.
I’m currently completing further studies in Sexual Health and Counselling. Outside of work, you’ll find me outdoors, exercising, or singing.
My Approach:
Every patient deserves safe and respectful care. I provide:
Evidence-based physiotherapy using current best practice
Trauma-informed treatment in a supportive, inclusive environment
Collaborative care with GPs, specialists, and allied health providers
My practice is LGBTQIA+ friendly and welcomes people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.
“Because everyone deserves access to pelvic floor physiotherapy
regardless of age, gender, choices and sexuality.”

Sexual Pain and Pelvic Pain
Whether you have pain or any difficulties during intercourse (including vaginismus and vulvodynia) know that focusing on your pelvic floor can be crucial.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can also help ease pain from endometriosis, anal pain and/or levator anii syndrome.
-
Pregnancy Physiotherapy and Postnatal Pelvic Floor check up
Whether you are getting ready for pregnancy or you are recovering from childbirth, pelvic floor physiotherapy is highly recommended to prevent and manage conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence.
A return to exercise assessment/ check up is recommended after childbirth.
-
Embracing Menopause and Andropause
As we age our muscles may become weaker. Pelvic floor weakness and stiffness can lead to pain during intercourse, leaking and erectile dysfunction. Understanding how your body and the pelvic floor works can improve your pelvic and sexual health.

Other types of rehab
Is your child bedwetting or having problems controlling wees and poos? Did you know pelvic floor physiotherapy can help?
