Madison Cutmore - Physiotherapist
As a female physiotherapist, you often find yourself treating more and more women. This was definitely the case for me throughout my early career, where I worked servicing women in remote communities in outback QLD, then in inner city Melbourne focussing on returning women to pilates, Crossfit and running postnatally. What I found, though, is the more I treated women, the more I wanted to understand their bodies better!
This led me to take a role at The Running Room where I used the latest technology to treat female runners to help keep them running throughout their lifespan. It also led me to complete advanced training in female pelvic health, focussing on incontinence, exercise in pregnancy, pelvic pain and pelvic organ prolapse.
I am currently putting this training into action every day in the clinic! You can find me at The Physiotherapy Clinic in Cammeray and Bondi Junction, where day to day I treat a whole range of conditions that affect women. You can also find me online @physiomads.
I am passionate about helping women return to running, or to any form of exercise safely. I believe all women can exercise safely with the right team behind them and I want you to feel confident in helping your postpartum women. We are stronger together and together we can focus on prevention (not cure) to help improve health outcomes for all women.
