State Exam Physiotherapy

I am a physiotherapist with a special interest in continence and pelvic health.

I graduated from Auckland Physiotherapy School in 1986, followed by 4 years working in Waikato, Waitakere and London hospitals.

On returning to Auckland, I spent 10 years in private practice gaining experience in the conservative management of musculoskeletal and pelvic health conditions, during which time I gained a postgraduate Diploma in Continence & Women’s Health (NZ).

Since returning to practice after having my 2 children, I have worked in this specialty area of pelvic health, and pregnancy-related conditions at Women’s Health Physiotherapy, Greenlane Clinical Centre, and treating postnatal mothers at Birthcare.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, the outdoors and movies.

My service includes the assessment and conservative management of:

• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Bladder control
• Bowel control
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction
• Pre and post surgical pelvic health issues (urological, gynaecological, colorectal)
• Pregnancy related conditions in the antenatal & postnatal periods – pain and dysfunction in the upper or lower back, pelvic joints, wrist and hand pain, abdominal muscle separation & weakness
• Postnatal pelvic floor problems
• Returning to exercise safely following the delivery of your baby.

I am dedicated to delivering a high standard of care to my patients, regularly attending advanced practitioner courses. My approach to your treatment is done with respect and sensitivity, valuing the importance of working as part of a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
