I have worked as a physiotherapist in the NHS since 2005, across a wide variety of disciplines and specialised in pelvic health physiotherapy in 2016 after returning from maternity leave for the second time. Having suffered with pelvic girdle pain and pelvic floor problems during and after pregnancy I have been able to really empathise and understand the challenges faced by women during the peripartum period and beyond. For the past 3 years I worked as a specialist perinatal pelvic health physiotherapist, treating women with pelvic floor dysfunction pre and post birth and was a joint lead working on the NHS England project to reduce health inequalities faced by perinatal women, an area which I am very passionate about”
I am dedicated to helping women take back control of their pelvic health so that they can regain their confidence and dignity. I treat a wide range of pelvic floor disorders including bladder (wee) and bowel (poo) incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic pain, whether they have occurred as a result of pregnancy/birth, at any stage in a woman’s life or as women age and move through the perimenopause and menopause.
