Christien Bird MSc, MCSP 

Christien Bird is a Chartered Physiotherapist specialising in supporting women through perimenopause and menopause, helping them stay active, confident, and strong through hormonal change.

She is the co-founder of The Menopause Movement, an evidence-based education and community platform that equips health and fitness professionals to confidently support women during midlife transition.

Christien is also the founder of the White Hart Clinic, established in 1996. With over 25 years' clinical experience, she is widely recognised for her expertise in pelvic health physiotherapy, with particular focus on menopause care, pelvic floor dysfunction, and bladder and bowel rehabilitation.

Clinically, Christien works with women experiencing conditions such as urinary and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction, both following childbirth and later in life. Using functional ultrasound imaging, she helps women understand how their pelvic floor works and how to strengthen it effectively—building long-term confidence, function, and wellbeing.

An experienced educator, Christien presents nationally and internationally at professional conferences, sharing the latest evidence on pelvic health and keeping women strong and active into and beyond menopause.

She previously held a senior role as Superintendent Physiotherapist at Central Middlesex Hospital and coordinated a major clinical research trial on physiotherapy for acute low back pain. She holds a Master's degree in Clinical Research Methodology from King's College London, with research published in peer-reviewed medical journals worldwide. Christien is a full member of POGP and has served on its Education Committee.

A passionate advocate for movement, Christien continues to compete as an age-group triathlete for Great Britain. Her mission is simple: to inspire women to enjoy movement, stay strong, and thrive at every stage of life.
