About Esthesis Physiotherapy

Nestled in the charming seaside community of Largs Bay, Esthesis Physiotherapy opened its doors in 2015. Founded by Melissa Connell, the practice focuses on providing expert physiotherapy with a special emphasis on women’s health. The name “Esthesis” refers to the sensation of touch, perfectly capturing the clinic’s hands-on approach to care.

Melissa graduated from the University of South Australia in 2000 with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Physiotherapy. Over the years, she gained extensive experience in various musculoskeletal private practices. However, her true passion grew in the field of women’s health and pelvic floor physiotherapy. This inspired her to complete a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Health and Continence and to establish Esthesis Physiotherapy as a hub for specialised care.

Melissa is an active member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA), including its Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health Group. She also collaborates closely with GPs, Obstetricians, and Gynaecologists to ensure an integrated, comprehensive approach to her clients’ health issues.

Melissa believes that combining manual therapy with improved movement patterns is essential for lasting rehabilitation. To this end, she has completed Clinical Pilates training at levels 1 through 4 with Dance Medicine Australia. She has also worked in several Pilates studios across Australia, incorporating this expertise into her physiotherapy approach.
