Women’s Health
Dora works extensively with women that have pelvic floor related problems including incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual pain.
These are problems that women commonly suffer from, but are rarely talked about, meaning they often go untreated for years.
Dora wants every woman to feel comfortable to talk about these common, and treatable conditions with her. She uses the best evidence-based treatment and works extensively with gynaecologists, urologists, sexologists and general practitioners, to ensure all her clients achieve the best quality care.
Dora works at the Australian Institution of Sexual Medicine with leading sexologists including Chantelle Otten to provide multidisciplinary care.
Dora has extensive experience treating a range of pelvic floor conditions including:
Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary Incontinence - leaking with abdominal pressure including coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise.
Urge Urinary Incontinence - leaking during episodes of urgency (sudden strong desire to void) when you don’t make the toilet in time.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
A dropping of the bladder, bowel or uterus into the vagina.
It is common with childbirth, menopause, repetitive coughing/lifting or chronic constipation.
Symptoms include bulging, heaviness, dragging in the vagina or lower back.
Pelvic Pain
Do you have terrible period pain or constant lower abdominal pain?
Have you been diagnosed with endometriosis or bladder pain syndrome?
Pelvic pain is a debilitating condition and common in young women. One of many causes of pelvic pain is spasming of your pelvic floor muscles.
Sexual Pain
Do you experience a blocking sensation with intercourse or tampons?
Do you get pain on entrance or deep pain during or after sex?
This can be common in young women, breastfeeding mums, women undergoing cancer treatments and menopause.
Pre and post Gynaecological surgery treatment
Before having surgery, such as a hysterectomy, it is imperative to have pelvic floor physiotherapy to be educated about how to correctly activate your pelvic floor muscles and how to prevent complications such as pelvic organ prolapse.
