I am a specialist Physiotherapist in Pelvic and Women's Health. My life mission is to continue to support women during the tender pre and post-natal physical stages and ultimately spread pelvic health awareness to all mothers so that they can be proud of their bodies and return to their full potential. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, my primary focus and passion is optimising women's health and wellbeing for all women, everywhere. As a physiotherapist, I continue to strive to change women's health with a huge passion for pre and post-natal care by supporting them on their journey to full recovery. In addition, as a keen strength, conditioning and fitness enthusiast, I believe that the pelvic floor and the woman’s body should be viewed through a holistic lens including exercise ensuring a sustained solid foundation through the years. I have a special passion for supporting pregnant and post-pregnancy women, providing non-surgical methods to accelerate a healthy recovery through guided rehabilitation exercises and wellbeing programmes designed for different stages of pregnancy and life beyond the bump. As a health specialist, it is necessary to invest in continuous learning and I continue to strive to offer an evidence-based approach to all my clients. I am trained by the UK’s leading women’s health physiotherapists and I dedicate time to researching alongside international researchers and women’s health physios. In addition to my clinical practice, I work closely and tutor with the Mummy Mot team where I teach other physiotherapists the principles of returning to rehabilitation for both pre /postnatal and post-surgical intervention. Marta is an associate member of the Association of Pelvic Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapist (POGP), a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP) and is registered with the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC). I have worked in Manchester's leading hospitals Hope hospital, Trafford General Hospital, both semi- and professional sports teams alongside and private practices in London in Harley Street and Belgravia and Kensington.
