🎄🧑‍🎄 CHRISTMAS OPENING HOURS 🧑‍🎄🎄

I am OPEN for Home Visits over the Christmas Break!!!

I will be doing Physiotherapy Home Visits in Darwin, Palmerston (and potentially Howard’s Springs) dependent on need.

Text 0430021878 for any questions 🙏

I return to the clinic on the 7th of January and am currently booked until mid January 🧡

I hope everyone has a wonderful break and their stockings are full (note my talented mum who has made my family stockings)

🧡 Increased Availability 🧡

I have now increased my work days to 4 days (not working Thursdays) which has reduced my wait time from 5 weeks ( 😱) to under 1 week! Hooray!!!!!

I will still be running home visits but not as regularly.

If you’d like an appointment with me call Northside Health NT on 79997448

Here are some UTERUS cookies (yes I am aware they can look like something else if you squint) to announce some sweet news!

I have now added an extra day at the clinic so will be working Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays.

If my current wait has put you off an appointment this should improve so now is the time!

I have added Wednesdays so they will be the most available 🧡

Hope to see you soon,

Ashlee

Government support for people living with pelvic pain and endometriosis is essential 🧡 the financial burden of healthcare is one of the main barriers and there is still an average of 7 years (and usually multiple doctors visits) before diagnosis.

Over a number of years I worked with local women to draw attention to the lack of resources for women suffering endometriosis and pelvic pain. Our Federal Labor Government have since put treatments on the PBS and funded a clinic in Darwin which has been very successful in providing support.

This week the Assistant Minister for Health, Aged Care and Indigenous Health, the Hon Rebecca White MP, joined me at the Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis Clinic in Coconut Grove.

This clinic is part of the Albanese Government’s $500 million investment in women’s health, making sure women in the Territory and across Australia have better access to care, earlier treatment and stronger support.

Home Visits Relaunched 🚀🧡

FAQs answered:
-Home Visits are the same length appointment as in clinic. I check and treat all the things I would do in clinic. The only thing I do not do in home visits is pessary fittings.
-The fee for your appointment is the same as in-clinic. Home Visits have a small travel fee added dependent on your location.
-Ideal for when you are struggling to make it to appointments or don’t want to time your appointments around potential nap times!
-I also treat blocked ducts and mastitis at home with therapeutic ultrasound.

Message me if any questions! 🧡

🧡 My Go-to Yoga Routine 🧡

My most recommended youtube clip would have to be this beautiful flow from Paula Lay in Melbourne. Perfect if you feel tension in your upper back (breastfeeding, office work, general stress!).

Not only is it doable at only just over 10 minutes but it is also highly effective. And if you're anything like me and love multi-tasking, do your pelvic floor exercises at the same time 🥰🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Namaste 🧡

🧡 Ultrasound of the Pelvic Floor 🧡

Because we can’t see our pelvic floor muscles it can be really challenging to know if we are contracting them properly! Realtime Ultrasound over the lower belly or perineum can be an amazing feedback tool to ensure you’re doing it right!

I take my ultrasound on home visits and use it most days in clinic (especially for men and children).

If you are interested in having a look at what your muscles are doing (in a very fun way) contact Northside Health NT on 79997448 for an appointment!

🏡 HOME VISITS ARE BACK! 🏡

From July 1st I will be restarting my pregnancy and postnatal home visits. My service will be limited due to the demands of the clinic (and a toddler) so if you are interested email me at adphysio@outlook.com!

Here to look after Mum! 🤰🏼

Fantastic having Ashlee from .births and Bronte from at the Expo to show women that there is support out there for you! There are a total of 8 physiotherapists (that I know of) working in Women's Health in the Darwin/ Palmerston region so we have you covered 😀

I have a few leftover tubigrips for sale from the expo ☺️ I’ve created a guide included which explains all the various uses of tubigrip in the pregnancy and postnatal period (I lived in mine in third trimester to support my stretching stomach and give me some relief from rib pain).

DM me if you’d like to purchase one- they are perfect to add to a baby shower gift for mum 🧡

🧡 Appointment Updates! 🧡

They say it’s better to be busy than bored but when your waitlist blows out to 5 weeks something has to give! 😱😱😱

I have made the decision to put a hold on new appointments for the next month to help me catch up and ensure my return clients can get an appointment at a good time.

If you have contacted myself or Northside Health NT then please disregard this note but if you are looking for an urgent physiotherapy appointment and you haven’t seen me before contact me and I’ll give you some other great options 🙏
