\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hi,\u00a0I have started this website for my patients, friends and public, to help\u00a0you find more information about Women’s Health concerns.<\/p>\n

My long suffering husband\u00a0 who is an absolute geek<\/strong> with all this computer stuff, has both inspired and helped ….well actually pretty much set up the whole website for me.\u00a0 Quick plug here for Peter’s photos <\/a>geek and photographer..but I digress !<\/p>\n

By deliberately\u00a0using reliable and accurate information that I have been able to source from the internet, I can direct\u00a0you\u00a0 to specific\u00a0websites regarding women’s pelvic floor health ; core exercises for women; pre natal; post natal and\u00a0 relevant\u00a0 up to date information.
\nI am not attempting to re-invent the wheel as there is a fantastic amount of good information and education out in the worldwide web.\u00a0However there is also a lot of\u00a0 stuff that is not helpful –\u00a0and \u00a0even incorrect.\u00a0I definitely have my favourite websites and you will find me linking into these a lot.<\/p>\n

As I get better at this ‘techo’ stuff I have started to add \u00a0drop down subjects on the menu tabs.
\nThe drop down info is more detailed and includes some of my own physiotherapy knowledge and clinical experience.<\/p>\n

\u00a0About me \"vanea\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Vanea Atwood; I am a Director at Sports Focus Physiotherapy, a Senior Women\u2019s Health Physiotherapist and a Pilates teacher with both Clinical Pilates and Polestar Pilates for Rehabilitation training,\u00a0and work both at the Northbridge and\u00a0Wynyard city practises.
\nI qualified in the UK (many years ago)\u00a0and after 5 years working in major teaching hospitals in London, moved to Sydney to\u00a0work\u00a0in private practice and have a family.\u00a0 For\u00a0more than twenty years I have\u00a0continually\u00a0updated my post-grad\u00a0professional education in Women\u2019s Health, Pre & Post natal physiotherapy, Fitness\u00a0Instructor -group,\u00a0Pilates exercise certification,\u00a0Assessment and care of the Lactating breast, Advanced physiotherapy<\/a> Pelvic floor courses in Stress Urinary Incontinence, Over Active Bladder, Pelvic Pain, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Urinary disorders in the post natal woman, use of Real time ultrasound and attendance at many\u00a0\u2018Fitness industry\u2019, Physiotherapy, and Continence Foundation conferences nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0experience in the treatment of women’s\u00a0musculo-skeletal disorders\u00a0has focused my interest on:
\nWomen’s Health to include :<\/p>\n

Pelvic Floor<\/strong> assessment, treatment, education and re-training<\/strong> – individual full assessment of muscle function to include internal examination of\u00a0 the female pelvic floor muscles.
\nPre natal<\/strong> treatment and exercise: – early intervention and advice for your changing shape – specific guidance on safe exercise levels for you – treatment of any pelvic instability and\/or pain – Full 1 hour Women’s health assessment at 20 weeks to determine your current postural,\u00a0pelvic floor and core \u00a0health and advice for exercises to guide you through to y due date \u00a0– Pilates for pregnancy<\/em> – ‘Mums & Bumps’<\/a>
\nPost natal<\/strong> treatment and exercise: – post-natal check-up\u00a0at 1-2 weeks after delivery – treatment and advice on breast care and Mastitis, support, education and advice on perineal trauma – treatment of any associated bladder or bowel dysfunction – and at 6 weeks individual and group exercise specific to your mode of delivery ‘Muscle Mums’<\/a>
\nWomen’s Health<\/strong> – specific treatments related to pelvic floor problems – stress urinary incontinence – urinary frequency and urgency – pelvic pain – treatment of musculo-skeletal problems associated with ageing – menopausal changes impacting on your muscles and bones
\nPilates<\/strong> based exercise programs, individual and group
\nBack\u00a0 & Neck pain<\/strong> assessment and treatment in a functional ‘core stability’ framework<\/p>\n

I lecture to Pilates teachers, local GP\u2019s, Midwives, Early childhood nurses, Physio\u2019s and Fitness professionals ; and I am passionate about improving \u2018Pelvic Floor Safe\u2019<\/em> <\/a>exercise for women.
\nBy\u00a0combining my \u2018hands on\u2019 physiotherapy\u00a0skills with a comprehensive approach to graduated exercise, my clinical work load gives me the opportunity to assess, treat and personally train<\/em> women holistically through all life stages.<\/p>\n

All Women’s Health initial\u00a0consultations are 1 hour. There are so many aspects of pelvic health physio and each area is almost a speciality in itself. The pelvic floor is the centre<\/em> of your being…and your self<\/em>.\u00a0 It demands your time and and my respect.<\/p>\n

For more details on your appointment please ask the receptionist. She may want you to speak to me regarding your booking. You can also learn more about your appointment by clicking on my\u00a0 may 2013 blog ‘ \u00a0<\/strong>What do Continence & Women’s Health- pelvic floor physios do!

I look forward to meeting you.<\/p>\n
