women's health physio remote & face to face appointments available

Face-to-face appointments are now available following an initial contact where you will be offered the most appropriate type of appointment for your concerns.

I am still offering remote appointments via Zoom as they have worked extremely well during lockdown. You can find more info on how this works here, and please keep in touch via my Facebook page.

Why not get in touch via the contact form for more details about remote or face to face appointments.

Are you booked for a hysterectomy or other gynae surgery ?

Enhance your recovery by seeing me prior to your surgery. This way you can learn how to optimise your recovery through exercise, nutrition and planning ahead.
