About me:
Emily is an Australian Physiotherapist with over 10 years experience. Women's Health and providing education to the wider community is her passion.
Emily has experience treating women with abdominal separation, pelvic floor weakness or increased tone, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual pain, over active bladder (urinary urgency), pelvic girdle pain, clogged ducts/mastitis and post mastectomy clients.

Philosophy:
I believe that providing the right education and understanding, a compassionate approach, individualised exercise prescription and manual therapy to assist with pain and movement if needed, are key in helping clients achieve their individual goals. It’s important the client feels empowered to be able to help themselves with the right tools and guidance.
