A holistic, collaborative approach to Women's Health at the Papaya Clinic, Newtown
By Rita Bratovich
Papaya Clinic is located in Newtown Alice Street; close to the city but a world away from your typical multi-service health centre. With a focus on women’s health, Papaya Clinic has brought together an all-female team of professionals with expertise across a range of disciplines. Their goal is to deliver specialised service in a caring, safe and collaborative environment.
Director and Founder of Papaya Clinic, Winnie Wu, brings a long list of credentials plus years of experience as a physiotherapist, business owner, pilates instructor, professional dancer, and mum to her practice. She is a pelvic health & musculoskeletal physiotherapist with a special interest in helping women through all life stages including pre and postnatal, all through to post-menopausal years.
To that end, Winnie and her team of pelvic physios, naturopaths, acupuncturist have created the Embrace Program for pregnant and postpartum women, and the Menopause Mastery program for perimenopausal women. Their health programs are tailored and provide best practice frameworks to help women navigate health concerns, prevent complications and feel good and empowered going through the delicate period of change.
Papaya Clinic focuses on providing holistic care across the four pillars of health – hormonal, physical, emotional, nutritional health. Their team of experts work closely with one another and seeing one is like seeing all.
When is the best time to see a pelvic floor physio? When you have pelvic floor symptoms such as leaking, heaviness, straining, incomplete urinary emptying, painful intercourse, etc, that’s when we highly recommend getting your pelvic floor assessed. If you’re expecting, you can do that safely from 20 weeks’ gestation onwards, and your physios can work through strategies to reduce the risk of tearing during labour.
Winnie and her team have prepared a Mama Planner, which you can download it for free on the Papaya Clinic website. It details care recommendations for each trimester, with the help of professionals such as physiotherapists, midwives, acupuncturist, naturopaths and doulas.
The same care is provided to women of all life stages, including those with chronic pain, poor gut health, emotional stress, symptoms with perimenopause and post-menopause. Through different disciplines within Papaya Clinic, and movements education such as Clinical Pilates, the team takes care of your whole wellbeing.
