25.01.2022 Hello beautiful people, I am a pilates instructor with 10years of experience. I will be teaching mat pilates in the narrabeen surf lifesaving club space with beautiful views on Mondays and Tuesdays. Check out Beautiful Bodies Women's Wellness to find out more about it.

24.01.2022 There is so much pressure for mums to get back into ‘shape’ after having a baby. With a constant stream of fit mums appearing on social media it’s no wonder m...ums rush back into exercise when they may not be ready. The magical ‘6-week’ mark is when the majority of women start adopting their exercise routines again. We have seen a huge rise in ‘mummy bootcamps available at local parks with women performing exercises that perhaps aren’t ideal for postpartum bodies. Six weeks isn’t a green light ‘You’re cleared’ isn’t a green light. Having a vaginal birth isn’t a green light Having a caesarean isn’t a green light A ‘fit’ pregnancy isn’t a green light No symptoms early postpartum isn’t a green light ‘Bouncing back’ isn’t a green light. Interestingly, the pelvic floor muscle is often ignored until it no longer works for us and we want to change that. This is your friendly reminder that you just grew a person, pregnancy itself puts 9 months of pressure on your pelvic floor, a muscle that is responsible for holding your pelvic organs in place. The same muscle that stretches anywhere from 1.5-3.5x its usual length as a baby passes through. Pregnancy and birth is a huge physiological and psychological event that requires a recovery strategy, not just a 'TrUsT your body' and experience approach. Without correct management, including how to safely return to exercise, this can lead to pelvic organ prolapse. The ABTA believes all women should also have access to a pelvic health physiotherapist consultation after birth as part of routine care, to screen for and help manage a wide range of conditions including urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, pelvic girdle pain, abdominal muscle separation and symptoms of prolapse. In Australia, it is currently estimated that 50 per cent of women who have had more than one child have some degree of pelvic organ prolapse this equates to millions of women, a large number of whom would have benefited greatly from early access to physiotherapy in the period post-birth Australian Physiotherapy Association If you would like more information or to connect with other women that understand what you're going through, we have a private support group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/birthtrauma.org.au/

24.01.2022 #Repost @mtbmamas with @download_repost Mountain Biking and Pelvic Organ Prolapse. (The short short version. Blog coming soon) When I was first diagnosed with POP I thought my life was over. It felt like a life sentence of endless sitting leading to depression and obesity. I thought I’d never be able to ride off road again. My symptoms were constant and I could not see that things would improve. But I could not give up. I already knew more than enough about the pelvic flo...or but now i really delved into the world of POP. Looking back I am 100% grateful that it happened to me because I know how it feels, and what can be achieved even with a prolapse. And I can help other women. POP does not mean you are broken. You didn’t fail. Often it is a failure of the pregnancy/birth/postpartum medical system. Who else here has POP?

22.01.2022 More at risk of WHAT you say? Well, more at risk of injury to your core and pelvic floor, and anything that’s connected to it (hips, back, even knees). But WHY you say? I had a fit pregnancy so I will bounce back easily after birth I am listening to my body and taking it slow I feel fine... Well unfortunately mamas I said all those things too. And there are thousands of stories like mine and the numbers are growing as the demographic of fit mums (athletes, Crossfitters, runners, Gym junkies) grows world wide! We understand a fit pregnancy is important for baby and mama. We feel good and we want to be strong. But don’t be fooled that it carries over into postpartum. Whaaaat. Yep. No one is immune to birth trauma no matter how smooth sailing it was. Some need more rehab others may need less. What we ALL need is proper guidance and to stop applauding new mums for smashing a PB, running a marathon or losing the baby weight. We should applause REST, REHAB, + RECOVERY. Walking is great exercise postpartum. Lifting your baby (up to 90x per day they say) is exercise! Can you connect with your PF she. You do so? Do you know how? Do you even know that you NEED to? Athletes are at higher risk to injury such as hernia, prolapse or back pain. Their high level of conditioning means they return to high intensity exercise sooner (than they should). They’re issued to pushing them selves harder (possibly valsalva -Ering as well). These high intensity exercises or habits of pushing themselves equals higher amounts of intra abdominal pressure and less likelihood of knowing how to correctly use their core (because they’ve never had to). It’s YOU mama that I am here to help (so you don’t end up like me). If you’re a new mama and want answers and guidance shoot me a DM. I’m not here to tell you to stop moving or lay on the floor and do your kegels. Im here to show you HOW to move optimally and reduce the chances of injury.

12.01.2022 #Repost @mtbmamas with @download_repost It takes courage to speak up about women’s health in a male dominated sport...... I NEED YOU! ...

07.01.2022 #Repost @drsarahduvall with @download_repost #Repost @youroptimalpelvis with @get_repost Our bodies love balance! They thrive and work optimally with muscular balance from head-to-toe, front-to-back, and side-to-side. When not properly balanced, our bodies start to play tug-o-war with themselves which typically equates to pain and dysfunction. Our bodies will find the weakest link and create insult. So, while we need to be strong to be resilient, we must also be balan...ced or we may never reach our optimal potential. Let me explain. Our bodies go through significant change when pregnant. In a simple scenario, our low backs get really tight, our core gets stretched to max potential, our glutes get weak (insert mom butt), our chest muscles get tight, and our upper back gets weak. We have our baby and our body doesn’t just return to it’s previous state. It takes work! You can picture the imbalance of the postpartum body and maybe even experienced it yourself. From this scenario, maybe you’re left with a diastasis that won’t heal or lingering low back pain. All the core exercises in the world may help some, but if we don’t balance the entire system then we may never get that gap to close or that back pain to resolve. If we head back to that boot camp class or straight to our previous workout routine without fully addressing this imbalance, we could really be doing more damage to our body in the long run and exacerbating our symptoms. This is why it’s so important to REBUILD our bodies postpartum. This is where a physical therapist can really make all the difference. We assess the entire body and map out a program specifically for you! Improve tissue length in some areas, strengthen other areas. Thankful to a be #PCESgrad (@drsarahduvall) where we really hone in on the intricate imbalances of the postpartum body. #womenshealthpt #postpartum #postpartumfitness #physicaltherapy #postnatal #womenempowerment #pelvicfloorrecovery #bodyafterbabies #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloor #swflmoms #fortmyersmoms #physicaltherapymonth
