Commencing 5th June 2021 I will be seeing clients for pelvic health consults in Alice Springs. I’ve had a small break from pelvic health and am really excited to get back to trying to solve some of the big issues below the belt!

Wow! What a year 2019 has been. For me it has certainly been a busy one. Once we speed up often it can take some time to slow the momentum and slow down. I am certainly looking forward to an opportunity to do this over the summer break. Then hopefully moving gracefully with an openContinue reading “2020 offerings”

Pelvic organ prolapse is the slipping (from the normal anatomical position) of the pelvic organs (bladder, bowel, rectum or uterus). Women may or may not experience symptoms.

Thus commencedContinue reading “Men’s health physiotherapy”

I tell all the women I see in clinic, on the maternity ward or in antenatal class that it would be ideal if they came and saw me 6 weeks after the baby comes out, regardless of how they came out for a ‘6 week check’. “But I feel fine” they cry, “I’ve done thisContinue reading “But, what’s a 6 week ‘check’ even for?”

As a young physiotherapist I knew right from the beginning I wanted to become a women’s health physio. I have always been intensely passionate about women’s access to healthcare and felt that this little known corner of physiotherapy would suit me well.  Sometimes I found it difficult to work out what was next in termsContinue reading “So you’re interested in pelvic health?”

Bladder urgency and frequency is a common problem. Sometimes it’s paired with urinary incontinence but often it’s just that feeling of ‘I’ve got to go right now!’. Women will often report that they are going to the toilet ten or more times per day and often they see that as being just a normal thingContinue reading “When you’ve got to get to the toilet RIGHT NOW”
