THE HEART BEHIND THE NAME 🤍

Hi, I’m Julia 👋 I’m a pelvic health physiotherapist and the founder of LVE Physio — a women’s & pelvic health physio service based in Port Melbourne (with home visits available too).

A lot of people think LVE stands for “love” 💌 but it actually is my beautiful mum’s initials, Lynette Victoria Esposito, who we lost suddenly and unexpectedly.

A few years later, I also lost my baby boy, Frankie, who was stillborn. I then had two subsequent high risk pregnancies which gave me Anthi & Chiara with Anthi being born premature, which added some complexities.

My mum’s and my own experiences taught me that women face unique health challenges & has shaped the way I practice today.

Women deserve care that recognises these unique challenges, so at LVE Physio I offer longer consults and the option of either in clinic or home visit appointments.

I know how valuable it can be — whether you’re navigating grief, experiencing fertility issues, caring for a newborn, suffering from mastitis, or simply not ready to sit in a waiting room.

Or conversely, getting out of the house and into the clinic, may be exactly what you need at this point in time.

Either way, I am here. LVE is here to help the women of our community thrive & access the right care, regardless of your journey.

If this resonates with you, please feel free to call, DM or email me with any enquiries. ✨

Yes, you read that right!

Only 10% of postpartum women with symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse seek treatment.

Too often, women put themselves last - but we’re here to change that!

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a highly effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse.

Look out for these symptoms

❤️ Heaviness or dragging feeling
❤️ A lump/bulge in the perineal area
❤️ Feeling like things are going to fall out

Please reach out to your women’s health physio if you suspect you have a pelvic organ prolapse!
