What I believe in
I have learned through my hospital based clinical work that no healing can take place without empathy. Understanding others and their situation is of utmost importance to me. I believe in care that focuses on the whole being of the person, always considering the complex picture, not just a symptom or a diagnosis.
To accomplish this, treatment must be tailored specifically to the individual’s needs and informed by thorough assessment.
I strive to read up to date evidence, to participate in continuing professional development and to question my current practices to ensure I move forward as scientific research evolves.
What keeps me going?
Being part of my patient’s journey moves me. I am grateful to help improve their quality of lives.
I am passionate about acquiring new skills, because I know that the use of these new skills will benefit others.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my husband, sitting around a campfire with friends or spending time with family from abroad and traveling.
Why Women’s Health Physiotherapy?
Human biology has interested me since childhood. The ability of the body to heal itself and regenerate fascinated me. There was never a doubt that I would train to work in the field of helping professions. I knew that helping people would give purpose to my life. During my physiotherapy studies I became interested in therapy in pregnancy and the postpartum period. Enhancing my knowledge in this subspecialty became my goal after finishing my BSc degree of Physiotherapy in Bristol, UK.
I began my work with women suffering from urinary incontinence and weak pelvic floor muscles. I use intravaginal pelvic floor muscle examination to assist me in objectively assessing muscle function and treat with EMG biofeedback which proved to be a beneficial method for many patients. After completing training on diastasis recti, I began teaching specific exercises to aid women with ‘separated’ abdominal muscles.
Knowledge about pelvic floor muscle overactivity and pain was built on this foundation. The realization soon hit me that overactivity and weakness actually commonly go hand-in-hand. Identifying tension or overactivity, therefore, is key for appropriate treatment. With some studying, it became clear that Women’s Health Physiotherapy is much more than teaching ‘Kegels’. I also became aware of how many other issues can be addressed besides peripartum problems.
These experiences informed my practice as a physiotherapist and formulated the idea to create a servise called Women’s Health Physiotherapy Buda at PhysiOsteo’s clinic.
To be well rounded and to keep my skills up to date, I also see general musculoskeletal patients with back pain, injuries, muscle problems and those recovering from surgery.
