Women’s Health has become an important part of Monica’s career. She has completed extensive professional development over the past 10 years in this field to further her knowledge and is able to treat pre and postnatal women with musculoskeletal issues or pelvic floor related issues, women with pelvic organ prolapse (including pessary fittings), urinary urgency, urinary or bowel incontinence and pelvic pain.

Her goal is to combine the knowledge and skills from both disciplines to deliver tailored, holistic exercise interventions which optimise health outcomes and keep people out of hospital. Her unique perspective of the healthcare system and understanding of acute and complex chronic conditions, passion for helping people, and personal commitment to meet client goals through harnessing the medicinal effects of exercise, put her in good stead to do just that.
Her areas of interest include chronic disease management, cardiac rehabilitation, women’s health, frailty and falls prevention, mental health and injury rehabilitation. Annie has a strong value for prevention and believes in giving people the tools to successfully self-manage their conditions to achieve long-term behaviour change.
Physiotherapy uses physical techniques to improve movement, reduce pain and stiffness, speed up the healing process and increase people’s quality of life.
Physiotherapists help people to get the most out of life. Physiotherapists are trained to assess their client’s condition, diagnose the problem and devise a treatment plan that takes into account their client’s lifestyle, activities and general health.
They help their clients recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness, increase mobility, and prevent further injury.
Physiotherapists extend their care to chronic health impacts, like heart disease and diabetes, and lesser-known pelvic floor issues. They’re experts in helping to reduce the alarmingly common health and safety issues associated with working in labour intensive industries, preventing injury as well as getting people back to work quickly and safely.
As first contact practitioners, you don’t need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists, doctors (GPs, Orthopaedic surgeons, sports physicians), and other health professionals will often work as part of a team to plan and manage treatment for a specific condition.
Clinical Pilates is a modified form of therapeutic exercises used by Physiotherapists to assess and assist in the rehabilitation and prevention of musculoskeletal injury. Clinical Pilates is the merging of the traditional Pilates method with the evidence-based approach of Physiotherapy.
The basis of Pilates exercises are: to encourage efficiency and sub-maximal muscle control by using resistance (spring-loaded) and movement, to facilitate both deep and global stability muscles thus creating a stable, controlled pelvic and shoulder. Functional and dynamic movements are incorporated in Clinical Pilates to mimic and facilitate the connection between the shoulder and pelvic girdles.
Clinical Pilates has been proven to be highly effective in the management and prevention of low back pain, functional strengthening for sports and work activities.
If you are interested in commencing Pilates for your injury, if you have not done so already, it is essential to have a review with the Physiotherapist to assess the suitability of a lumbo-pelvic stability program for you.
As Clinical Pilates is keyed to an individual, in comparison to the generic form, classes are run in small groups of no more than four people per class to ensure matched exercises are done properly. It is recommended to wear loose comfortable clothing for these classes. Health insurance can cover some of these classes.
