Maxine Taylor Physiotherapy
Pelvic Health and Musculoskeletal Specialist
Maxine is a Physiotherapist with over 10 years of experience working in the NHS. After having her two children in 2019 and 2020 and encountering a few pregnancy and birth related ailments of her own, she noticed a gap in access to Pelvic Health Physiotherapy and so began specialising into this area. She is now proud to offer appointments to people suffering with pregnancy related pain, postnatal recovery including The Mummy MOT, bladder incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
During her pregnancies she also completed her Postnatal Yoga Teacher training and provides Physio-Led Pregnancy Yoga and Mum&Baby Yoga classes (formerly Sweet Pea Yoga).
