JACINTA MEHARRY
Pelvic Floor & Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist
Jacinta is a compassionate, bubbly, physiotherapist with an emphasis on person centred, evidence based care. Jacinta loves empowering and supporting her patients throughout all life stages, utilising a combination of her manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation and mindfulness skills, to help them achieve their goals and find their flow.
Holistic care is at the core of her approach, advocating for collaborative management with other healthcare providers to achieve best patient outcomes.
Jacinta loves working with women throughout the childbearing years, helping those experiencing pelvic pain and enjoys facilitating return to exercise regardless of age, ability or injury. Her other special interests include pelvic floor dysfunction (including incontinence and prolapse) pelvic girdle/hip pain, postural dysfunction (neck and back pain) and clinical pilates.
On the weekends you will find Jacinta exploring the outdoors with her big beautiful golden retriever, learning to surf and spending time with her family.
Clinical experience:
Graduating with a Masters of Physiotherapy Practice in Melbourne in 2013, Jacinta has since gained extensive experience practising in Melbourne, developing a wealth of knowledge in musculoskeletal/sports physiotherapy, pelvic floor physiotherapy and clinical pilates. Her love for travel facilitated a move to both London and Hobart, where she had the privilege of working alongside experienced clinicians across a broad range of settings.
Both professionally and personally, Jacinta is passionate about all things movement and wellness which has led to further training in mindfulness and naturopathy to facilitate mind-body management and a strong understanding of the importance of working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
Jacinta is excited to be providing Pelvic Health and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy to patients in the Bayside area including Bentleigh, Black Rock, Brighton, Caulfield, Elsternwick, Elwood, Hampton, Highett, Mentone, Moorabbin, Sandringham, St Kilda and surrounding areas.
