★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"I had a very traumatic birth experience and my recovery was painful, long and complicated. A friend had strongly suggested that I get a mummy MOT done after hearing about my situation and I recall that my pre-birth course instructor had also strongly suggested this to all of us expectant mums, so I promptly got booked in with Julia at Bodyset.

9 weeks postpartum and after complications with my episiotomy, I was not able to sit or walk without a lot of pain and discomfort. I was suffering from quite a bit of emotional trauma from my terrible first few weeks after birth and current situation. Talking things through with Julia, having her do a thorough physical check of me and tell me that although it will take time and effort, I will recover, had such a profound impact on me. It gave me hope at a time when I felt I was losing hope and felt so terrible about my situation. Her empathy and the confidence she gave me that things would be ok, and she would help - almost brought me to tears through sheer relief!

Julia was always contactable if I was having any physical problems during treatment, which I really really appreciated. Anyway, fast forward to 10 months of targeted support and physio and I am almost fully recovered. I honestly cannot thank Julia Bodyset enough and I'm recommending her to anyone I know that has a baby!"

Julia Peters Belk, MSK & Women's Health Specialist, Mummy MOT & POGP

I’m a certified Mummy MOT practitioner with extensive experience and training in Pilates, rehabilitation, acupuncture and manual therapy. I enjoy supporting women at all stages in their lives, addressing their specific needs and achieving their goals however large or small. After the birth of my two children, I felt strongly about advocating the importance of Women’s Health and encouraging women to seek out specialist help for issues such as tummy gap, pelvic or back pain, and urinary urgency or incontinence.

Aftercare for mums is often not as extensive as it should be. Many women are not made aware of the issues surrounding abdominal and pelvic floor muscle weakness following pregnancy. These weaknesses can often lead to further issues if they are not assessed and treated. Many women also learn to get by with conditions such as incontinence and sexual dysfunction after having a baby. I’m passionate about raising awareness around Women’s Health in the hope that with more knowledge on the subject matter, more women will seek help, and fewer women will suffer in silence.

Danielle White, MSK & Women's Health Specialist

I am an experienced musculoskeletal and Women’s Health Physiotherapist. I started my career in private practice, where I had the opportunity to work with Premier League Netball teams. This allowed me to gain valuable experience with acute sporting injuries and rehabilitation programs at a high level.

I have since specialised in women’s health assessing a variety of conditions that include pre and post-natal mums, obstetric pain, caesarean care, urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, and stress incontinence. Since moving to the UK I have spent time as a Women’s Health Physiotherapist in the NHS. This allowed greater exposure to more chronic conditions that included women with prolapse, pelvic pain/discomfort, and prolapse repair. I enjoy helping women gain control of their pelvic floor so they can get back to what they love to do.

I love nothing more than empowering my clients with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their conditions, feel confident in their body, and enjoy a better quality of life.

Jayde Cabourne, Senior MSK & Women's Health Specialist & Mummy MOT

I am a Senior MSK Physiotherapist and a certified Mummy MOT Women’s Health Specialist. I have a wealth of experience in exercise rehabilitation, Pilates and running injuries and enjoy helping pre and post natal women doing the sports and exercise they love.

As a Mummy MOT Women’s Health Specialist, I believe the physical care of pre and post-natal women is of huge importance. Many conditions such as pelvic girdle pain and urinary incontinence stop women from doing the things they love, but they can be helped and prevented with physiotherapy treatment.

I also specialise in Pilates and gets most of my clients on the Pilates Reformer during their rehab sessions. It’s a fantastic form of treatment.

I love to run and want to help women of all ages get back to running; whether its post natal, training for a marathon or post injury. Let’s get strong together!

My treatment approach integrates a blend of hands-on therapy, educational support, and tailored exercise regimens, encompassing Pilates-based techniques and sports-specific strength training. My goal is to assist women in achieving their diverse range of health objectives with personalised care.
