Hello, my name is Petra and I am an osteopath working with women, children and babies. I can help you with your musculoskeletal pain such as mechanical back pain, neck pain, headaches arising from neck tension, chronic migraine prevention, arthritic knee pain, pelvic girdle pain and other aches and pains associated with postural changes during pregnancy. I work with babies who have difficulties breastfeeding due to tension in their shoulders, neck and jaw.
After graduating as an osteopath, I went on to complete a two-year postgraduate Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy and then a Diploma in Women’s Health Osteopathy. I took courses related to women’s health, such as on pessary fitting and sizing for pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence (service not available), gynaecology assessment and treatment for nurses and allied health professionals, menopause, and comprehensive training in the assessment and treatment of continence issues.
I am a certified ScarWork™ practitioner, including training in treatment of scar tissue after cancer treatment.
