Pelvic Health Physiotherapist
Sophie is currently on Maternity Leave
Sophie is an experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who graduated from University of Sydney with first-class honours.
Her early career saw her working with sports injuries, and local rugby and netball teams. Over time, completing many courses and attending conferences, both here and in Europe, her passion for pelvic health developed and she now focuses on all aspects of women’s health, both internal and external, integrating the latest evidence-based treatment, together with her earlier experience in sports physiotherapy, to provide holistic management of women through all life stages.
Sophie believes that women from all walks of life should be able to access quality, compassionate healthcare, and has a particular interest in assisting women with maintenance of fitness during pregnancy, and helping them return safely to exercise after giving birth. She uses Clinical Pilates (both mat and reformer) to assist her client’s rehab goals.
On a more personal note, Sophie has a love of sport, previously competing at a National level in rowing and surf boat rowing. She now enjoys keeping fit by running, reformer Pilates, outdoor training and swimming. She also enjoys spending time with her family, travelling and cooking.
