Bio
Jennie treats pelvic floor dysfunctions through education and advice, manual therapy, exercises, myofascial release techniques, acupuncture and stretches. Having experience in pelvic floor physiotherapy and APPI Pilates training, her approach is patient centred, working together with her patients to optimize their outcomes by targeting treatments to achieve their goals and functional requirements. She applies her musculoskeletal background to pelvic health issues when treating both ante-natal and post-natal women for specific, pregnancy-related, musculoskeletal pain conditions. The emotional health of her clients is something she always has in mind, creating a safe space where her patients are reassured they are going to be heard, helped and guided.
