Mary O'Dwyer -
'Pelvic Floor Coach'
Everyday in her clinical work Mary
hears women's stories of pelvic floor failure and pain. Through
education and physical retraining these women develop life changing self
awareness, a feeling of empowerment to control pelvic floor problems and
gain a renewed enjoyment of life.
Hoping to reach more women than her
professional practice allows, 'My Pelvic Flaw' is set to transform women's
knowledge of their pelvic floor and its central role in the female body.
Mary O'Dwyer
is a pelvic floor physiotherapist,
trained at the Universities of Queensland and Melbourne.
With more than 30
years clinical and teaching experience Mary is working clinically in
Women’s Health at Physiocare, Maroochydore, and Senior Teaching Fellow at
Bond University, Gold Coast.
Mary conducts seminars
teaching physiotherapists about the pelvic floor and back pain, and gym
trainers about the effects of exercise on the pelvic floor. She also
teaches Tai Chi for arthritis, runs Pilates-based pelvic floor exercise
classes and strength training classes for women.
Having witnessed the
effect of pelvic floor dysfunction from her patients’ stories, Mary is
determined to educate women about their pelvic floor health, to enlighten
and empower them in the management of relevant problems, while giving them
the confidence to make informed decisions.
