EXPERIENCE

Jenna grew up on a farm in Coleambally. She attended boarding school in Ballarat and returned to the Riverina to study Physiotherapy in Albury in 2006. Upon graduation, she worked as a physiotherapist at Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, before her partner’s work took her to Swan Hill where she worked in a private practice prior to gaining the role of Chief Physiotherapist at the Swan Hill hospital. In this role, Jenna provided pelvic floor physiotherapy services to a specialist continence clinic. More recently, Jenna has been raising her young family whilst working at a dedicated women’s, men’s and pelvic health physiotherapy private practice in Geelong. 

Jenna has always had a strong interest in the area of women’s, men’s and pelvic health physiotherapy. She has completed two post graduate certificates through The University of Melbourne, and has attended various courses in this area of physiotherapy. As a mum of 2 young boys, Jenna understands the impacts of pregnancy and motherhood on our body and feels incredibly passionate about helping women remain active and painfree through pregnancy, recover and return to normal activity, and exercise safely following birth.  She is also very passionate about assisting women to manage pelvic organ prolapse, and women and men to manage their continence or pelvic pain issues, realising the significant impact these symptoms can have on a person's quality of life.  Jenna loves working with her patients to help them achieve their goals, and puts a real focus on helping them through these often very personal issues with compassion and understanding.

Additionally, Jenna has broad experience treating a range musculoskeletal conditions, and is very passionate about helping her patients to achieve their goals.
