Special Interests and Expertise

Knee Pain

Jasmine specialises in treating knee pain, providing comprehensive care for a variety of knee conditions.

Women’s Health

In the realm of women’s health, Jasmine focuses on musculoskeletal issues, specifically those related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery. While she does not treat pelvic floor dysfunction, she does address pelvic discomfort and pain related to musculoskeletal causes. Her expertise includes:

Pre- and Post-Natal Back Pain

Jasmine offers specialised care for expectant and new mothers dealing with back pain, providing gentle, effective treatments that are safe during pregnancy and postpartum. She focuses on relieving the strain placed on the spine by pregnancy-related changes, improving posture, strength and enhancing comfort during daily activities.

Mastitis

Jasmine utilises therapeutic ultrasound to offer immediate relief for women suffering from mastitis. Therapeutic Ultrasound quickly clears blocked milk ducts, reducing pain and inflammation, allowing mothers to continue breastfeeding comfortably.

Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Muscle Separation)

Jasmine is skilled in treating diastasis recti, a common condition where the abdominal muscles separate during pregnancy. Her approach includes the reduction of low back spasm, and targeted core strengthening exercises that help restore abdominal integrity, improve posture, and reduce associated back pain.

Thoracic and Rib Pain

Tightness and pain between the shoulder blades in the thoracic region and rib pain often occur after childbirth due to the postural demands of breastfeeding. She provides tailored physiotherapy interventions to relieve discomfort, improve postural alignment, and prevent long-term musculoskeletal issues. Her treatments focus on restoring mobility in the thoracic spine and ribs, easing protective muscle spasm to help new mums breastfeed in comfort.

Coccydynia (Tailbone Pain)

Jasmine treats coccydynia, a condition that can be aggravated by childbirth, through manual therapy and exercises designed to reduce pain and improve mobility. She provides specialised advice on seating and posture to ease the strain on the tailbone and promote healing.
