Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist & Mummy MOT Practioner
Meet Ali Cansell
Ali Cansell is the Founder & Lead Pelvic Health Physiotherapist at The Pelvic Physio Farnham.
She is a physiotherapist with over 19 years of physiotherapy experience, specialising exclusively in pelvic floor and pelvic health care. She is also a mum of two energetic children, so understands both the clinical complexities and the everyday impact pelvic health issues can have.
Ali holds a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy degree from the University of Brighton (2007), an MSc module in Advanced Clinical Practice in Pelvic Health from Brunel University (2025), and has completed numerous specialist postgraduate courses to ensure her practice remains fully up to date with the latest evidence.
Alongside clinical practice, Ali is a Guest Lecturer at the University of Brighton, teaching physiotherapy and midwifery students. She also provides mentoring for physiotherapy students, fitness professionals and musculoskeletal physiotherapists developing their skills in pelvic health. She regularly delivers workshops and talks for companies, gyms and community groups, and brings extensive NHS experience, having worked closely with consultants, GPs and midwives to provide coordinated, high-quality care.
Based at Meadowside Osteopathy Clinic in Farnham, Surrey, Ali provides expert pelvic health care in a welcoming and professional clinic environment, with a limited number of home visits available. She supports women with bladder and bowel leakage, urgency, frequency and constipation, prolapse symptoms, overactive bladder, pelvic pain, pregnancy-related concerns including pelvic girdle pain and birth preparation, and postnatal recovery including pelvic floor rehabilitation, abdominal separation and safe return to exercise. She is also an accredited Mummy MOT practitioner.
Working in the NHS
Ali has extensive experience working within the NHS and left her role as a Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and Team Lead only recently to further develop The Pelvic Physio Farnham and spend more time with her two young children. In this role, she worked closely with hospital consultants, GPs and midwives, treating a wide range of conditions including pelvic girdle pain, bladder and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, obstetric birth injuries and tears (OASI), and diastasis recti. This experience has provided her with invaluable expertise in the field of pelvic health.
Mummy MOT Practitioner
Ali is an accredited Mummy MOT Practitioner and provides postnatal assessments both in clinic and in the comfort of her patients' own homes. She is passionate about providing education and creating a safe, supportive environment where women feel comfortable discussing their symptoms and, above all, feel listened to. Ali is committed to helping every woman rehabilitate back to the activities that matter most to them—whether that's enjoying a stroll in the park with their children or completing an Ironman triathlon.
Certifications
Ali is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP), Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP), and is an accredited Mummy MOT Practitioner.
