Brooke Blair
Physiotherapist
Brooke developed a love for women’s health in her third year of University, after learning how interconnected the pelvic floor was with the rest of the body. Having endometriosis herself, she loved learning about the ways physiotherapists could help with the many associated symptoms.
Since becoming a women’s health Physio straight out of university, she has developed a love for treating all women with all conditions, especially pregnancy and pelvic pain conditions. This led her to start HerHealth Physiotherapy; to be a safe space for all women.
Having recently welcomed her son Byron in December 2021, Brooke now has a renewed appreciation for the female body and wants to use this new perspective to further educate and empower her clients.
