Monica Marcos

Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist

Monica’s passion is for people to live life to their fullest through her Physiotherapy expertise. Having graduated from LaTrobe University in Melbourne with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2011 she has since worked in private practice with all age groups over the past 15 years.

Her special interests include, but are not limited to,

  • Women’s and Men’s health
  • Clinical Pilates
  • The management and treatment of persistent pain.

 

Women’s Health has become an important part of Monica’s career. She has completed extensive professional development over the past 10 years in this field to further her knowledge and is able to treat pre and postnatal women with musculoskeletal issues or pelvic floor related issues, women with pelvic organ prolapse (including pessary fittings), urinary urgency, urinary or bowel incontinence and pelvic pain.

Monica deals with these cases with sensitivity and care. Having had two children of her own, she is respectful and can empathise with her patients surrounding such issues. She also has extensive dry needling experience and loved working with individuals to personalise and achieve their goals.

Monica is also involved in the Pelvic Pain Clinic with Hunters Hill Medical Practice to holistically support women with conditions like Endometriosis, Adenomyosis and PCOS. She has attended and trained in managing period pain, sexual pain, cramping, constipation and issues with exercise due to the previously mentioned symptoms.

Monica has an interest in persistent pain and ways to educate and treat this in a wide range of patients suffering regularly. She feels it is paramount to empower the patients she works with and discover what an individual can do. The science of the brain is a valuable and infinite tool with the ability of creating new pathways, new belief systems and newly learned skills to enhance people’s quality of life, in spite of the issues they may face along the way.

On a personal note, Monica is a local and enjoys spending time with her family, exercising and serving in her church community.
