​
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy covers a wide range of injuries, pain and conditions. If you are suffering from any pain or injury, contact me to get started today.
Women's Health
While SMC Physio offers a range of services, it has a strong focus on women's health physiotherapy and education. Women's health is a growing field of physiotherapy which covers pregnancy, the postpartum period and the pelvic floor. This includes many issues such as:
​
-
Incontinence
-
Pregnancy pains
-
Ab separation (DRAM)
-
Pelvic organ prolapse
​
To properly assess and treat these issues an internal examination is usually recommended. To find out more about these conditions and how I can help treat them please contact me to discuss.
Sport Physiotherapy
Sport and musculoskeletal physiotherapy is a field that I have a lot of experience in and a passion for.
I have extensive experience working with sporting injuries at all levels.
I also have experience working with elite athletes across many sporting fields, including netball, football, cross fit, ballet, weight lifting and many more.
​
Most of my experience has been focused on Australian Rules Football, where athletes experience a wide range of injuries, working with teams including the following:
​
-
South Adelaide Panthers (SANFL)
-
NT Thunder (NEAFL)
-
Nightcliff Tigers (NTFL)
-
Darwin Buffaloes (NTFL)
Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation
One of the most common reasons people need to see a physio is to rehabilitate from an injury or surgery such as an ACL tear, shoulder dislocation, hamstring tear and the list goes on. A full recovery from these injuries requires rehabilitation and exercise.
​
As I also have a degree in Exercise and Sport Science creating rehabilitation and exercise programs is something I have a lot of experience in and passion for.
