Le Yeow Yin (Joanne) Cheah

Physiotherapist

Joanne’s passion for women’s health began growing up in Vietnam, where she witnessed firsthand the limited resources and support available to women during the postpartum period. Seeing the physical and emotional challenges many mothers faced without adequate care inspired her to pursue a career dedicated to supporting women’s recovery, strength, and confidence. This passion was further enhanced during her physiotherapy studies, where she gained valuable insight into women’s health at the Royal Women’s Hospital.

With a background in musculoskeletal private practice and clinical Pilates, Joanne brings a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to treatment combined with a deep understanding of the unique needs of women at every stage of life. Her special interests include preparing for and recovery from birth, pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy-related musculoskeletal issues, and pelvic and sexual pain. Joanne’s ultimate goal is to empower women to feel strong, supported, and in control of their bodies, through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Outside of her professional life, Joanne enjoys socialising with friends, going to the gym or Pilates classes, trying out new restaurants and training for tennis matches.
