I can not recommend Body & Birth Physiotherapy highly enough. I started seeing Sami in a proactive approach to managing my pregnancy and also to help maintain some level of fitness when I was given restrictions from my obstetrician. Sami knows my body so well and was really thorough in assessing my aches, pains, and discomfort then applying her knowledge to help me be the best that I could be throughout my pregnancy. My only regret with Sami is that I did not meet her earlier in my pregnancy! She is also really well connected in the pregnancy and birthing space in Brisbane. I have met and utilised

I have been struggling with pelvic girdle pain throughout my pregnancy although I have been getting regular treatment from my local physio. After seeing Sami, who has a holistic approach to women's health, I have noticed a significant improvement in my pain levels and mobility. I have greatly appreciated her suggestions around what else outside of treatment can assist- eg sleeping positions, belly bands, shorts and streches. I would strongly recommend her services pre and post natal over a regular physio.

Getting the opportunity to shadow Sami for a day was such an rewarding experience as a physiotherapy student. Her expertise, knowledge and techniques in the areas of women’s health are incredible and all her patients have the upmost respect and confidence in her ability. Body and Birth clinic has a beautiful, open environment unlike the feel of other traditional physiotherapy clinics and really captures Sami’s welcoming nature. Highly recommend.

I was fortunate to be able to see what Sami did with my wife Rachel when she was being assessed. Rachel is very strong and moves well, but Sami was able to diagnose and treat some things that could have been a real issue later on.
I really loved her holistic approach and have already referred her to some of my friends who are pregnant so that they don't have to worry about pre-natal or post-natal issues.
Highly recommended.
