In 2012, Amy relocated to Abu Dhabi and spent the initial two and a half years specializing in Knee and Sports Injuries rehabilitation with Abu Dhabi Knee and Sports Medicine Centre at Healthpoint Hospital.

 

Amy spent the following two years working at Bounceback Physiotherapy Treatment Centre in Abu Dhabi and worked hard at developing her assessment and management skills of complex musculoskeletal injuries.

​

Amy has a strong passion for Sports Rehabilitation and spent two and a half years working for a Southeast 1 League rugby team in London.

​

Continuing her passion for working within sports she also had the opportunity to work with the UAE (Under 16s) Girls Football team, Ferrari World Acrobats, Gaelic Football team in Abu Dhabi, triathletes, and international tennis players at tournaments held in Abu Dhabi. Amy has a diverse knowledge of pilates and yoga with substantial experience working with high level pilates and yoga instructors within the UAE.

 

Amy has specialized in women’s health physiotherapy—including, management of pelvic pain, pregnancy related musculoskeletal injuries, safe exercise during and after pregnancy, and management of incontinence (pregnancy and non-pregnancy related). Amy is qualified using real-time ultrasound and biofeedback to assess and treat the pelvic floor. Supporting women during and after pregnancy has become one of Amy’s key passions, and she believes all women should have a knowledge of how their own pelvic floor is functioning whether it be before, during and after pregnancy.

Amy has a strong exercise and fitness background. She began fitness instructing through Exercise to Music, RPM, and Bodypump in 2011.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle balance is key to Amy.

Our Clients Say...

"I have been visiting Amy Gilbert's Physiotherapy practice—Perfect Balance—for about 2 months for the treatment of muscular and fascial pain in my right leg that had been seriously impacting my daily life both within my place of work as well as during my hobbies and sporting activities. I found Amy to be knowledgeable, professional, and to have a structured approach to the treatment of my imbalances. Her treatment methods work and show results quickly and reliably. My leg pain has significantly reduced, and I am much more mobile and comfortable in my everyday life. We often forget the importance of taking care of ourselves and Amy's no-nonsense approach is non-judgmental, refreshing, and actually works! Thank you so much Amy for improving my quality of life!"
