About Lauren Ellis Physiotherapy

Lauren Ellis Physiotherapy is dedicated to women’s health, offering specialised care for pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and breastfeeding support. With a background in physiotherapy and a strong focus on pelvic health, Lauren provides evidence-based treatment tailored to each individual’s needs.

Lauren qualified with a BSc in Physiotherapy from the University of the Western Cape in 2016 and completed her Community Service at Groote Schuur Hospital in 2017. She has since worked in private practice while furthering her knowledge in Orthopaedic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) and volunteering at government clinics in the Western Cape.

Her personal experience with postnatal recovery and breastfeeding challenges inspired her to specialise in women’s health, leading to the establishment of her practice. Lauren now serves as the Chair of the Pelvic and Women’s Health Special Interest Group for the South African Physiotherapy Society and works in the Urogynae Physiotherapy Clinic at Groote Schuur.
