This page is dedicated to knowledge and information sharing. I am writing articles on different topics that will help women look after themselves and their children. Where possible, I include contact details of local practitioners who were recommended to me by other patients or practitioners.
Educational Group Talks.I offer educational talks and workshops to groups and organisations on the following subjects - Introduction to female pelvic health (talk), Promoting continence and pelvic floor health (workshop), Introduction to menopause & beyond (talk), Managing constipation (workshop), and Scar tissue self-care (talk with practical element). For upcoming events, please visit my FB page - PK Osteopathy. If you would like to host a talk or a workshop, please contact me directly for prices and availability.
Petra facilitated and delivered an interesting, informative and interactive presentation on an introduction to women’s pelvic health. Her calm and friendly approach immediately put people at ease which enabled her to talk about something which can be quite a taboo and embarrassing topic. She was appropriate in her use of humour with props, competitions and pictures to keep people engaged and feeling more relaxed. I personally learned lots and took away loads of good tips and advice. And many from the group still speak about what they learned months later, and many have made changes to their lifestyle and work practices based on what they learned that evening. I would highly recommend PK Osteopathy for future talks; she really knows her stuff. Looking forward to the next one already! (Home-Start Orkney) Petra provided a very informative and enjoyable online presentation on women's pelvic health which was delivered in a knowledgeable, understandable and engaging way. Recognising potential sensitivities around this subject, her approach was professional, calm and supportive, yet with elements of fun, which allowed the creation of a trusted space in which participants were able to relax. A very worthwhile session which was appreciated by all attendees. (Island Self-Management Group) We asked Petra to give an informal presentation on women’s pelvic health to our women only coffee morning group. Not only was it the highest attended but all the women felt engaged, informed, and inspired to use the knowledge Petra imparted to help improve circumstances for themselves and to inform other women in their lives. Petra delivered the presentation in a way that was fun, interesting and inclusive of all levels of knowledge. We couldn’t recommend Petra highly enough for delivering presentations or informal sessions and have since booked her for two further engagements, which we know are highly anticipated by our group. (Roosa) Following Petra's delivery of the well-received online presentation on women's pelvic health, we were delighted to welcome her back to give a talk on the Menopause and Beyond. Once again, this was delivered in a professional and engaging way, providing a wealth of evidence-based information and additional signposting to supportive resources. Another very informative and valued session - thanks Petra! (Island Self-Management Group) We were really pleased to welcome Petra to Rousay to deliver two of her talks, ‘An Introduction to pelvic health’ and ‘The menopause & beyond’ . The talks were informative and educational and Petra delivered them with immense knowledge, understanding and appropriate humour which assisted the sometimes intimate and sensitive subject matter being discussed. Petra is very professional in her approach and her extensive training and skill in women’s health is clearly evident. She presents her talks in an informal and interactive way which engages her audience and makes the sessions fun and enjoyable. The links and information shared to evidence based and helpful resources and signposting are also very beneficial. Thanks Petra from the Rousay women and Island Wellbeing Project! |
