Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist
Karen Hogg. Administration and clinic co-ordinator
Rosie graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2013 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy and has worked in the National Health Service since graduating covering an a ray of specialised areas such as intensive care, stroke, orthopaedics. She has worked as a junior Obsetricts and Gynaecology Physiotherapist within Ayrshire and Arran in 2014 and went on to become a Senior Physiotherapist within Greater Glasgow and Clyde since 2016 in this specialised field and since has worked part time in 2018 to build her own private services within pelvic health.
Rosie has a very active history within sport in running, hockey and weight lifting. She is extremely passionate about what physical activity can do not only from a health perspective but improving ones mental health. She feels women are commonly told to give up certain exercises or being told to not return to certain formats due to pelvic health conditions and feels this is very mis-leading. The main reason behind the business forming.
Due to Rosie’s previous experience and interest working in Musculoskeletal physiotherapy and amateur rugby her knowledge goes beyond just the pelvic floor and this background allows her to individualise treatment to the individual in more of an holistic approach.
Rosie’s interest does not lie in one area of pelvic health. Within pelvic health she is interested in every patient walking through the door if it’s for pelvic pain, post natal pelvic floor recovery, diastasis or post operative hysterectomy recovery for a example she feels she can help you.
Rosie is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists and Pelvic Obstetric & Gynaecological Physiotherapy Society.

Here’s what Nicole has to say / About me….
I am thrilled to be collaborating with Rosie Davie Physiotherapy; joining such a passionate, driven and progressive group of professionals within post-natal rehab and pelvic health.
I am the founder and owner of Pelvic Centred Physiotherapy. I have a passion for all things C-section, and C-section scar therapy. As a C-section mum myself, I have first-hand experience of this type of birth and recovery, and a wealth of many years of experience of working within Women’s and Pelvic Health. As a professional, and post-partum expert, I am very aware of the lack of C-section recovery advice and aftercare that women fail to receive. Current culture in this country is very much focused on the new-born, and less so on the recovery of the mother. Apart from the initial wound checks, routinely your C-section scar will not be assessed again. Common issues can be dismissed by some health care professionals as ‘normal’ and result in long-term issues. C-section scars can have a significant impact on pelvic function; symptoms; emotions and appearance. And if not managed correctly, can leave lingering problems such as pain; sensory dysfunction (itching, hypersensitivity, numbness), low back and hip pain; bladder and bowel issues; red, raised, and ropey scarring and overhang.
I believe that every C-section mum should have the knowledge, tools, resources and expert advice to allow them to heal; reconnect with their body; appreciate their scar and return them to strength and confidence following their birth. I am passionate about supporting your rehab and providing you with simple information on how to massage and care for your C-section scar; helping you to reconnect with your body and scar; reduce any pain and restriction; allowing you to move more freely, and enhance the function and overall cosmetic appearance of your scar as it changes and matures.
C-section is major surgery; your scar is unique. It requires individualised assessment; advice and specialist techniques to assist recovery; return to function and to optimise the aesthetic outcome of your scar.
C-section rehab is important, and so are You!

Jenny travelled down to Glasgow to begin her University studies in 2013, from the very north of Scotland – the Shetland isles. During her 4 years at Glasgow Caledonian University, her eyes were opened to the vast, exciting, and endless opportunities that a future career in Physiotherapy would provide.
Following graduation with a 1st class honours degree, Jennys first job was in NHS Grampian in Aberdeen. There she progressed and developed her skills to become a Specialist Musculoskeletal physiotherapist.
Soon after, an open door back to Glasgow became available where Jenny rotated through a variety of clinical settings, specialist fields and locations within NHS Lanarkshire. It is from here that Jenny first came across the world of Pelvic Health.
Jenny can truly say that she love her job as a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. Every day is different, dotting between obstetric and postnatal wards, gynaecology wards, outpatient obstetrics, musculoskeletal outpatients and outpatient uro/gynaecology. Jenny feels honoured and extremely grateful to provide a positive, proactive, empowering and optimistic service to patients with an aim to improve a woman’s invaluable quality of life!
Jenny strives to be an effective educator, facilitating women to be listened to, their symptoms to be acknowledged and providing them with an optimistic future.
Being an active runner/crossfitter/weight trainer, Jenny also has a personal interest into guiding a safe return to exercise postpartum.
