About Jade

Jade Lucas Read, widely known as  a women’s health physiotherapist with nearly 20 years of clinical experience helping women reconnect with their bodies through pelvic health, somatic bodywork, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care.
Jade began her physiotherapy journey in London, qualifying in 2008. She built her early career across prestigious London clinics before expanding her scope to include physiotherapy for performing artists. In 2012 she relocated to the UAE, where she has continued to develop a practice that sits at a genuinely distinctive intersection: the evidence base of clinical physiotherapy and a deep understanding of how the body holds stress, trauma, and hormonal change.
Her philosophy is that healing is not just about symptoms. It is about understanding the story the body is trying to tell. Jade takes time to understand each patient’s full picture before working with her, because the body rarely presents in isolation. A pelvic floor that holds too much tension may be responding to anxiety, past trauma, or chronic pain patterns as much as to any structural cause. That whole-person perspective informs everything she does.

Diagnostic Tools & Assessments

Jade’s assessments are led by detailed conversation, a thorough movement and postural evaluation, and hands-on clinical assessment. She draws on both conventional physiotherapy tools and a broader somatic lens to understand the full picture.
  • Pelvic floor assessment

    • Internal and external pelvic floor examination where appropriate
    • Muscle tone, strength, coordination, and endurance evaluation
    • Trigger point identification and pelvic floor mapping
  • Musculoskeletal assessment

    • Postural and movement analysis
    • Spinal, hip, and joint mobility and stability assessment
    • Pain pattern mapping and movement retraining evaluation
  • Functional and somatic assessment

    • Breathing pattern assessment and diaphragm-pelvic floor coordination
    • Nervous system state and stress-pattern evaluation
    • Somatic body awareness and stored tension mappin
    • Review of how symptoms connect to hormonal cycle, stress load, trauma history, and lifestyle
These assessments allow Jade to determine whether the primary drivers are structural, neuromuscular, hormonal, or rooted in nervous system and somatic patterning, so that treatment is precise and genuinely personalised rather than protocol-based.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What does a women’s health physiotherapist do?

A: A women’s health physiotherapist specialises in the physical conditions that affect the female body across every life stage, from pelvic floor dysfunction and persistent pelvic pain to musculoskeletal concerns, pre and postnatal recovery, and the physical impact of hormonal transitions. Jade combines clinical physiotherapy with somatic bodywork, breathwork, and nervous system regulation to address both the symptom and its underlying drivers.

Q: What is pelvic floor physiotherapy and do I need it?

A: Pelvic floor physiotherapy assesses and treats the group of muscles, connective tissue, and nerves that form the base of the pelvis. You may benefit from it if you experience leaking when you cough, sneeze, or exercise, pelvic pressure or heaviness, pain during or after intercourse, persistent pelvic pain, difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel, or pelvic discomfort during perimenopause or after childbirth. Many women live with these symptoms for years before realising they are both common and treatable.

Q: Can physiotherapy help with pain during intercourse?

A: Yes. Pain during or after intercourse, known clinically as dyspareunia, is frequently caused by pelvic floor muscle tension, trigger points, nerve sensitivity, or hormonal changes affecting vaginal tissue, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. Pelvic floor physiotherapy, including manual therapy, trigger point release, and nervous system regulation techniques, can significantly reduce or resolve this pain. It is one of the most common concerns Jade treats at Menovivre.

Q: How does perimenopause affect the pelvic floor?

A: Declining oestrogen during perimenopause affects connective tissue, muscle tone, and nerve sensitivity throughout the body, including the pelvic floor. Women often notice increased urinary leakage, pelvic heaviness, bladder urgency, discomfort during intercourse, and new musculoskeletal pain around the hips, lower back, and pelvis during this transition. These changes are real, measurable, and highly responsive to targeted pelvic health physiotherapy alongside the hormonal and metabolic care the wider Menovivre team provides.

Q: What is somatic bodywork and how does it support women’s health?
A: Somatic bodywork works with the body as a whole system, recognising that stress, anxiety, trauma, and emotional experience are held physically in the tissues, nervous system, and movement patterns. For women experiencing chronic pelvic pain, persistent tension, psychosomatic symptoms, or the physical effects of hormonal change, somatic approaches combined with breathwork, mindfulness, and movement can reach patterns that traditional physiotherapy alone does not always address. Jade’s practice integrates these methods within a clinically grounded, trauma-informed framework.
Modern treatment offers effective, long-term methods to reclaim your quality of life.
