- amee rice
Amee has been practicing as a physiotherapist since 2006, primarily in continence and pelvic health roles in Perth, Bunbury and Busselton. After completing a post-graduate certificate in Manual Therapy in 2009, Amee became curious about the complex interactions around the lumbo-pelvic and hip regions. This led to the long road to complete her Clinical Masters (Continence and Women’s Health) to understand more about the pelvic floor and all that relates to it. In between private practice roles, Amee spent a year working for the Continence Foundation of Australia, educating and connecting groups around WA promoting continence health. Amee’s work roles have included several specialised continence and pelvic health physiotherapist roles in private clinics and public hospitals, including Fiona Stanley Hospital, St John of God Midland and Maylands, and Bunbury Regional Hospital.
Amee enjoys consulting with a range of people from around the South West and continues to aim to bridge the service gap between country and metropolitan continence and pain services. When she’s not working, you’ll likely find Amee roaming her garden with her 3 young children, racing snails, playing hockey or paddling at the beach whenever possible.
