women's pelvic health
Women’s pelvic health refers to the health and proper function of the muscles, nerves, and organs in the pelvic area, including the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These structures help support the body, control bladder and bowel function, and contribute to sexual health and comfort. Pelvic health can often be improved and maintained with specific exercises and treatment techniques.

Antenatal care
Pregnancy is a special time in a woman’s life. It may seem quite short but can come with its own set of challenges and emotions to navigate. My treatment focus on the management of:
Pubic symphysis pain (lightening crotch)
Pregnancy-related back and pelvic girdle pain
Treatment for neck, hip, and joint pain
Rib pain and breathing discomforts
Advice on safe exercise during pregnancy
Preparation for labour and delivery
Antenatal breastfeeding consultations
postnatal care
Recovery after birth can take much more time then anticipated. Self-care during this time is generally not prioritised, but so essential to your recovery. My treatment focus on the management of:
Recovery and healing of vaginal birth or cesarean scar using massage techniques, laser therapy and dry needling.
A 6-week post birth pelvic floor assessment and initiation of the rehabilitation program.
Assessment and treatment of diastasis recti and general core rehabilitation.
Personalised return to exercise programs and guidance.
Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
Assessment and treatment of any pelvic floor dysfunctions postpartum.
Breastfeeding related difficulties (See Lactation Consultations)
