Belinda Henry

Biography 

While studying physiotherapy in the early 90’s my interest in Pelvic Health began. I did my elective clinical in women’s health at the Royal Women’s in Sydney. Once I completed my degree I worked in London in the post natal wards, ran aqua-natal classes and worked on the Breast Cancer ward at the Royal Marsden.

When I came home from London in 2000, I worked in a leading clinic in Bondi Junction. At this time I developed my musculoskeletal skills while working alongside some pioneering Women’s Health Physiotherapists. Soon after, the south coast beckoned and I started working at Gerringong Physiotherapy.

After the birth of my first child I truly understood the importance of the pelvic floor and pelvis. I returned to university to complete my Post Grad Certificate in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and have continued to learn through courses, podcasts and webinars since. I have now been working exclusively in Pelvic Health for 13 years and am passionate about providing caring and quality care to the people of the south coast.

Biography:

Being lucky enough to grow up locally on the beautiful South Coast, Gerringong Physio and I go way back. From my week spent in the clinic for Year 10 work experience, to working with the admin team whilst studying my bachelor’s degree, I am now continuing my physiotherapy career where it all began.

I love that physiotherapy allows me to connect with people from all walks of life and help them get back to doing the things that they love. I also have an interest in Women’s and Pelvic Health, which I am currently doing further training in.

Growing up, I was heavily involved with netball but these days I like to keep active by attending the gym, bushwalking or swimming. On the weekends you’ll find me at one of the local beaches or hanging out with my border collie Beau. I also love cooking, kicking back in the sun with a good book and camping.

  • Women’s and pelvic health
  • Young active population
  • Post-op rehabilitation

Vanea Atwood

Qualifications

  • Grad. Dip. Cert. Phty. UK 1979

Biography:

I have been a treating physiotherapist for over 30 years and have extensive experience in the treatment of musculoskeletal spinal disorders and have specific clinical interest in Women’s Pelvic health, including pre- post-natal care for women.

After qualifying and then working in London for 5 years, I moved to Sydney to work in private practice. I was then fortunate enough to travel to PNG and took time out to have a family.

On my return to Sydney, I was able to juggle a work/life/family and eventually focus on ‘Women’. 

I offer advanced assessment of pelvic floor disorders, pelvic pain, pre- post natal assessment, treatment and care through to a full recovery. Physiotherapy treatments and Pilates rehabilitation exercise underpin my holistic approach to female health. 

I am passionate about educating my clients on how to progress from injury, surgery and childbirth to full health and offer education and expertise in group and individually tailored exercise training for women. 

My 15 years of Pilates experience with its foundations in spinal alignment and movement integration; forms the base of my approach to women and my long time ‘hobby’ of gym exercise gives me a solid foundation on which to treat women of all ages. 

I am available on Thursdays at our Gerringong practice.
