Women’s Health Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps restore function when you are affected by injury, illness or disability, through movement and exercise, manual therapy, education and advice.
It’s a science-based treatment that takes a ‘whole person’ approach to health and wellbeing, which includes your general lifestyle. At the core is your involvement, through education, awareness, empowerment and participation in the treatment.
Naomi specialises in women’s health with focus on the following:
Antenatal and Postnatal Women
Our bodies are amazing, however creating another life puts an significant strain on a woman’s system. These pressures may present differently in different woman and may include:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic Girdle pain
- Low back pain
- Carpel Tunnel
- Diastasis Recti (Tummy Gap)
- Prolapse
- C-Section Scar Tissue
- Vaginal birth tear
Pelvic Health
We all have a pelvic floor, a unit of supportive core muscles which support the pelvic organs. The pelvic floor is required to relax as well as contract to provide the support your body requires. When these muscles are underactive or overactive it can present with the following symptoms
- Incontinence
- Extreme urgency and frequency to get to a toilet
- Feeling like you don’t fully empty your bladder
- Heaviness, dragging or bulging sensation from the vagina
- Painful sex
- Pelvic girdle and low back pain
- Many of these symptoms are “common” but not “normal”.
Menopause
This is phase in a woman’s life that is rarely discussed. despite this, many women will experience significant uncomfortable and unsettling physical symptoms which may last for many years. These physical symptoms may include:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic girdle pain
- Prolapse
- Joint pains
- Constipation
- Vaginal pain
With the right support, education and treatment many of these symptoms can be alleviated.

⭕️ The Acupuncture Collective - This Monday ⭕️
We often talk about health as a marathon, not a sprint. With winter (and El Niño), and all its demands on our immune system, on its way, now is the perfect time for a pre-emptive tune-up.
In Chinese medicine, our immune system is made up of layers of defence, and Acupuncture is our Holy Grail in fortifying these defences.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, strengthening your Wei Qi (Protective Qi) now is the best way to prevent winter colds and keep your foundations strong.
Whether you've been managing chronic digestive issues, navigating hormonal wobbles, or seeking support for your mental well-being, our Collective haven is here to help you.
We'll be working to build that natural inner vitality so you can greet the colder months from a place of strength.
We are also delighted to let you know that with Dr Sunila taking a step back, as she prepares for the arrival of her little one, we welcome Jules Simonneau to the Moon Women's Health practitioner family.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 3pm to 8pm on Monday 12th October

Despite the warmth, Autumn is now well and truly upon us: the farmers’ market is full of squashes and conkers shimmer underfoot.
With the season change comes an artwork change to adorn the wall of Moon’s studio space.
Local artist Jen Cable has continued her generosity and loaned us her work ‘Hidden Connections’ - a piece that highlights the interconnected world of trees.
Mature trees are able to pass nutrients to shaded or struggling saplings through their underground fungal networks. During drought, trees share water with their neighbours, helping younger trees thrive when resources are scarce.
Trees don’t simply look after themselves - they’re part of a bigger, connected community. We see this reflected our own community, the small acts that keep us together. A kind word, checking in on a neighbour, sharing what we have, lending a hand when someone is struggling.
When times are tough, these small acts of care can make all the difference. So, when you next pass a tree in your street, give it a drink. A little water from each of us can go a long way.
