25.01.2022 @auscontinence Had a great article about the importance of posture and pelvic floor muscle activation. Left to right > slouched posture and even too far in the other direction (super upright) can but pressure on the pelvic floor muscles which may affect bladder and bowel function or even worsen lower back pain. Sitting in a comfortable, upright, supported position is best!

24.01.2022 Telehealth appointments in full swing and back in the clinic next week part time, options open for those wishing to stay home and chat online or for those keen to come in to the clinic.

23.01.2022 Why should I do my pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy? Put simply; - smoother birth - better, speedier recovery following delivery - reduced risk of pelvic floor muscle injury ... - reduced risk of developing pelvic floor muscle dysfunction And if you are post natal spending all your time feeding and staring at bub - what better time to do your exercises on the couch like this? Thanks for being my insta model, Lottie my beautiful niece @mackieg82

23.01.2022 Stretching into the weekend

23.01.2022 Thanks for having me last night @heartwoodau Was so nice talking to some beautiful pregnant mummas and also listening to the amazing ladies from heartwood about skin care and baby massage. I learnt so much from you guys! Pregnant Mummas, do yourself a favour and visit @heartwoodau and speak to one of the lovely and exceptionally knowledgeable girls about skin care, stretch mark management and prevention or just treat yourself to a delicious massage or facial (I can speak from experience - they are amazing!!)

23.01.2022 Did you know it’s normal to empty your bowels anywhere from 3 x a day to 3 x a week? Everyone is different! BUT, one thing we should all be doing is POOPING properly without extra strain through the pelvic floor muscles. Straining is a NO NO! Try using a foot stool to get your knees up higher than your hips.. like this post or not - I KNOW it has worked wonders for a lot of you

22.01.2022 Are you newly pregnant and unsure of what exercise you can do? You want to stay fit and healthy but safe? Here are some ideas for safe pregnancy exercise (assuming you are cleared by your obstetrician to exercise) - Pilates - Walking - Swimming - Stationary cycling ... - Low impact aerobic classes - Pregnancy classes @fitrightphysio and reformer Pilates @silas_st_physio (An oldie but a goody - thanks @annabel_willis ) Enquire within if you have any questions!

21.01.2022 Pessary fittings will be available in the clinic in a few short weeks! Pelvic organ prolapse effects up to 50% of women who have had babies. A support pessary can be a really helpful option for a lot of women. DM for more details!

20.01.2022 DYSPAREUNIA aka painful sex This is an extremely common problem for women across all ages and isn’t talked about enough! This can present differently from woman to woman too As a women’s health Physio there is so much we can do to get you back on the right path. A thorough assessment and background history will always be done, followed up a combination of one or more of the following treatments: Dilator therapy ... Internal trigger point release Stress management and mindfulness strategies Breathing and appropriate stretches Soft tissue release Pelvic floor muscle down training Good Bladder and Bowel habits Enquire within for more info

19.01.2022 Post natal mums and bubs exercise at home on fast mode with a few toys being thrown at me but hey, that’s reality right? Most of these exercises are safe to do after the first 6(ish) weeks of birth (depending on mode of delivery and how the birth went)...so I would ALWAYS recommend being seen by a women’s health Physio to get an appropriate and individualised return to exercise. Happy Wednesday team

18.01.2022 Women supporting women #challengeaccepted So grateful for all the amazing, talented, hard working, caring, supportive without judgement, strong women in my life. Thanks @tell_talia @nest_physio

17.01.2022 Real time ultrasound! Check it out, that’s the bladder and we can get a pretty great idea on how your pelvic floor muscles function from here. This works well as a training tool if you aren’t sure whether you are getting the right action down there too.

16.01.2022 Don’t forget to practice your pelvic floor exercises in different positions Your Physio should guide you with the best positions to start with based on your pelvic floor and your goals!

13.01.2022 Trigger ball/ golf or tennis ball does the trick! Relieve those nasty trigger spots between the shoulder blades or around the hips... long days at a desk, pregnancy aches and niggles or exercise induced muscle soreness.. this is one for everyone!

07.01.2022 Only have 10 minutes at a time at home to workout? No worries! I’ll be adding some short, at home, pregnancy and post natal safe exercise ideas (incorporating bub too). Stay tuned

05.01.2022 A common post natal complaint is wrist pain mainly affecting just below the thumb with repetitive gripping / twisting / picking up baby that causes inflammation of the those tendons. Physiotherapy can help through splints, exercise prescription and general advice on handling baby and more!

02.01.2022 As much as I love talking to you about pelvic floor MUSCLES, it’s not actually all I do . There is SO much more to it than just muscles.. and pelvic floor exercises aren’t the only answer to a lot of things! Don’t be fooled, after a consult with me (or any women’s health Physio) you will be stocked up with different tools, strategies, equipment(?!), exercises and more.. the pelvic floor muscles are exceptionally important but definately not the ONLY answer!

02.01.2022 Happy pelvic floor stretch getting into those deep hip rotators
