14.01.2022 [EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY] Exercise during pregnancy has so many benefits to both mum and bub, including improving physical and mental wellbeing and reducing risk of gestational diabetes. Unfortunately many women give up exercise during pregnancy because they don’t know what they can and can’t do. ... Pregnant women should aim to meet the physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week. Exercise can include both aerobic exercise and strength training targeting all of the major muscle groups including the pelvic floor. Any questions? Let us know

13.01.2022 [DIFFERENT TYPES OF PELVIC FLOOR TRAINING] Did you know there different types of pelvic floor exercises and training? Depending on the pelvic floor issue w...e must target the exercises to help the issue For example - someone with stress urinary incontinence may have a strong pelvic floor but not coordinate well with coughing and sneezing - unless we improve coordination then the issue will not be resolved Keep an eye out for some videos on different types of pelvic floor exercises that you can do at home!

13.01.2022 [OVERACTIVE PELVIC FLOOR] Did you know your pelvic floor can be overactive? This means that the pelvic floor muscle are held in a slightly contracted state and hence have difficulty relaxing! ... For a functional pelvic floor the muscle have to be able to contract and relax through a good range of movement. The muscles can’t properly contract if they can’t fully relax. Signs of an overactive pelvic floor include: Painful sex Difficulty inserting a tampon Leakage or incontinence Increased urgency / frequency of needing to pass urine Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowel Constipation Pain with Pap smears or internal examinations Abdominal, low back or pelvic pain Treatment is aimed at down training the pelvic floor and helping it to relax. This is why pelvic floor strengthening and kegels are not always the answer! An assessment needs to be done to find out the exact cause of the pelvic floor issues. Let us know if you have any questions

06.01.2022 [REASONS TO GET A WOMEN'S HEALTH POSTNATAL PHYSIO CHECK] 1. Abdominal Separation assessment and rehab: During pregnancy our abdominal muscles separate/stretch to accommodate for the growing baby. After birth this separation can remain if not rehabilitated correctly. It is important to find out the level you are to ensure you core rehab program is targeted to meet your needs 2. Pelvic floor assessment and rehab: Your Women's Health Physiotherapist will likely recommend an inte...rnal vaginal exam for best practice. This allows your physio to check: - Pelvic floor muscle strength - Pelvic floor muscle endurance - Tone of the muscles - If there is any avulsions (or tearing) 3. To assess and treat any bladder and bowel issues. Postnatally, particularly if you are experiencing any pelvic floor dysfunction you may also experience bladder and bowel issues. These include: - Bladder urgency and frequency - Urinary incontinence (leakage) - Bowel incontinence - Constipation + difficulty emptying you bowel 4. Many pelvic floor issues are asymptotic so you may not know you have them until you get assessed: Often pelvic floor dysfunction, weakness and prolapse can be asymptotic. This can mean you may not even know you may be at risk of further pelvic floor issues, of developing pelvic organ prolapse or worsening a prolapse. If you aren't aware of these issues and return to certain activities before you are ready this is when more issues may arise. 5. Prolapse assessment and treatment: During your internal examination your physio can check if any pelvic organ prolapse is present. If you do have a prolapse it's okay - we are here to help and there is options. Support Pessaries are a great non surgical way to support your prolapse and help you get back to exercise without worsening your prolapse. 6. To create a rehab plan to get you back to what you want to do safely: wether it be returning to running or returning to heavy lifting everyones goals will be different. We will ensure your pelvic floor and core is properly rehabilitated to meet the demands of the activities you need to get back to doing. 7. To prevent issues later in life. Getting on top of your pelvic floor early in the postnatal period allows the best chance of recovery. Pelvic floor dysfunction that is not address can lead to issues later in life (it may be many years down the track). Any questions? Let us know

02.01.2022 [WOMENS HEALTH WEEK DAY 2] BONE HEALTH Women’s Health week is about promoting the health of women. This means not only about pelvic floor issues but about ANYTHING that can impact our health! ... We have had a question regarding bone health and the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. Bone health is such an important issue for Women. Did you know: 1.2 million Australians have osteoporosis From our 30’s onwards, more bone is broke down than made (resulting in gradual bone strength as we age) After menopause oestrogen levels drop which can increases bone loss. The average woman loses up to 10% of her bone mass in the first 5 years after menopause Every 5-6 minutes someone is admitted to an Australia hospital with an osteoporotic fracture Calcium and vitamin D are essential for bone health Weight bearing exercise is essential for strong bones Our Exercise Physiologist Jeremy has jumped on to help answer how exercise can contribute to our bone health
