Genesis Physiotherapy

Genesis Physiotherapy was established 23 years ago and has had a close association with the maternity wards at St John of God Hospital since its inception.

Our focus is to provide a comprehensive service in womens health which is enhanced by our more recent association with Babysteps Health Centre. Being at the centre we are able to complement our services with in-house support of other women & child health professionals.

Genesis physiotherapy was first registered in 1993 & Cheryl Bryce has remained the principal physiotherapist since its inception. It has always been a practice that specialises in women’s health, continence and sexual pain syndromes.

We take pride in offering a consistent seven-day service with a focus on progressive and prompt treatment. All our staff have had long term experience in women’s health and continence and we have a grand total of 16 children between us (and another on the way!).

Keeping up to date and progressive is a natural goal for our staff who are completing or already have completed specialist training. We offer a knowledge base as wide as Pilates, Real-time ultrasound, Laser therapy and EMG biofeedback. There are some who specialise in these areas, so be sure to ask if you have one type of treatment in mind.
