The Pelvic Expert
The Pelvic Expert is a one-stop digital destination providing evidence-based and holistic women’s healthcare programs for pelvic pain, pregnancy and postpartum problems. The Pelvic Expert was founded in 2016 by Heba Shaheed, a women’s health coach and physiotherapist, and Nabeil Allam, a business strategist, after witnessing the lack of education and accessible services in pelvic health.
15-25% of women suffer from pelvic pain, and each year millions of women worldwide suffer from pregnancy and birth related complications. The Pelvic Expert serves to reduce the global burden of pelvic problems by delivering affordable, accessible and evidence-based digital programs for women. Programs include women’s health physiotherapy education on bladder, bowel, sexual and menstrual health, holistic nutrition, functional exercise videos including pilates and yoga, and pain neuroscience education.
