About EHP
Empower Her Physiotherapy offers evidence-based, client-focused and holistic care to women at all stages of life.
Empower Her Physiotherapy was started by Samantha Garrido in 2022.
We aim to empower women throughout their life stages through education, movement, and manual therapy, bridging the gap between the musculoskeletal system and the pelvic floor.
Our vision is to provide a comfortable and safe space for women to open up about their concerns and to guide, support and empower them to take control of their health.
About Sam
Samantha Garrido saw the growing need for women in the South West Sydney area to access supportive, individualised and attentive care. She completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy (with distinction) at Western Sydney University in 2018.
She completed her Pilates Training in 2016 with the Pilates Institute of Queensland and uses a movement-based approach as a key assessment and treatment tool. She focuses on uncovering the root of her client’s dysfunction and pain and working collaboratively with them to develop an active approach to treatment.
Sam has a passion for empowering women through education and providing them with evidence-based treatment approaches and options to assist them in reaching their goals throughout all stages of their life.
