ABOUT

Katy Holmes
I'm a Women's Health Physiotherapist, and I'm passionate about helping women feel strong, confident and comfortable in their bodies again.
I work with women at every stage of life; from pregnancy and the early postnatal months to menopause and beyond.
Whether you're dealing with pregnancy-related pelvic pain, bladder leaks when you exercise, prolapse, painful intercourse, abdominal separation, or you're simply unsure if your body has recovered after having children, you're in the right place.
I love showing women that they don't have to put up with pain or leaking. Nothing breaks my heart more than when I see women putting up with symptoms that can get better.
If you want to run again without making sure you empty your bladder before you go, or not have to watch out for where the nearest toilet is, or need reassurance that you can continue to exercise, then a pelvic health physio is for you.

Qualifications
-
BSc Sport and Exercise Science - University of Limerick
I got a great foundation in the science of exercise during my 4 years in the University of Limerick. My modules in biomechanics, anatomy and exercise prescription developed key skills in the understanding of the functioning of the human body.
My Physiotherapy degree allowed me to gain valuable knowledge in the range of specialities that physiotherapy can help with such as with musculoskeletal, neurological and respiratory systems.
