Clare Jouanny

I am an experienced Specialist Physiotherapist in pelvic health, having set up and run a pelvic, obstetric, and gynaecology physiotherapy service in Jersey, Channel Islands. My particular clinical interests are in prolapse, pelvic floor dysfunction prevention, and persistent pelvic pain.
Having completed my Master of Health Research degree at the University of Stirling in 2019 with a research-based learning prize for best Health Sciences Research Project, I won funding from the ESRC/ Scottish Graduate School of Social Science in 2020, for a PhD to develop an intervention to encourage women to seek help sooner with early prolapse symptoms.
I am passionate about raising awareness of pelvic health conditions in general, and prolapse in particular; to raise awareness amongst women and health care professionals, encourage earlier help seeking, advocate for evidence informed lifestyle and conservative treatments, and prevent negative effects on quality of life.
