I am a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist passionate about ante and postnatal rehab and returning to sports. My clinical experience includes assisting in the prevention of and recovery from 3rd and 4th-degree tears, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti and more. I regularly attend courses to stay updated on the latest research and techniques, ensuring the highest standard of care. I consult with the English National Ballet (ENB), providing pelvic health physiotherapy to expectant professional dancers. I have developed antenatal and postnatal care pathways for the ENB and the professional dance community. In addition to my clinical work, I am a Certified Pilates Instructor and member of the Research Advisory Group for Dance Mamma and of the Women in Sport and Exercise Academic Network.

What a feeling! First MSc Essay handed in.

I have been looking into the important topic of how birth related perineal trauma may be reduced, especially in professional dancers.

What role pelvic physio could play in pregnancy
- teaching correct pelvic floor exercises
- assessing for high-tone / non-relaxing pelvic floor
- looking at other risk factors related to 3rd and 4th degree tears
- Assisting in informed decision making with birth preferences

Now time to get organised for Christmas and a little revision for my Quantitative Research module.

This nomination means so much to me - thank you 🩷

Thank you to all those who have supported me over the past few years in developing these guidelines, which are just the start.

I am looking forward to developing them further and supporting parents back to the stage.

Dancing doesn't have to stop when you start a family - but evidence-based pelvic health support and education needs to be available.

Hi I am Rachael, and I wanted to share some of the services I currently offer and am passionate about.

I have over 10 years of experience as a Pelvic Health Physio and am very passionate about equipping pregnant persons with the knowledge they need to make informed birth choices.

I am fortunate to be starting my first year at Brunel University studying MSc Advanced Clinical Practice in Pelvic Health. I am looking forward to learning more and also being involved in research.

Away from work I am mum to two boys. I enjoy running, pilates and weights. I love meeting friends for a coffee, a cinema or a theatre trip.

Please feel free to share with friends & family and DM me with any questions.
