24.01.2022 The Physio Collab. is searching for our next great Physio! Is this you or someone you know?! Please share!! Thank you.

23.01.2022 http:// P E L V I C F L O O R When we talk about Pelvic Floor muscle dysfunction, most people think of leakage (incontinence) when you cough, sneeze or lift anything due to weakness of the muscles. Did you know the Pelvic Floor muscles can also be hypertonic (over tight)? They can! Hypertonicity of the Pelvic Floor muscles is common in people with the following:... 1 Pelvic pain (eg. Endometriosis, PCOS, bladder pain syndrome) 2 Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) 3 Anxiety and panic disorder 4 Previous trauma (psychological or physical) 5 Chronic constipation Hypertonic Pelvic Floor muscles require specialised assessment and treatment from a Pelvic Health (Women’s or Men’s) Physiotherapist. Those not trained adequately in this area may prescribe Pelvic Floor muscle retraining/strengthening exercises, however this will further tighten the already hypertonic muscles in people listed above. Physiotherapy for hypertonic Pelvic Floor muscles can involve the following; 1 Myofascial release of the internal and external muscles 2 Relaxation techniques (eg. Deep breathing, visualisation, mindfulness and meditation) 3 Stretching (eg. ‘Child’s pose’, ‘happy baby pose’) 4 Myofascial release with a Pelvic Wand 5 Vaginal dilators There’s more to Physio than you thought!

18.01.2022 E N D O Endometriosis is a debilitating disease that affects 10% of Australian women. It is the condition often described as the invisible illness and one which can take several years to diagnose. This condition is real; these people are real; read below for a very real account by an Endo fighter #endometriosis #endo #pelvicpain #painfulperiods #painfulsex #dyspareunia #endobelly #chronicillness #unashamed #noguilt #women ... #Repost @thisismeseries with @get_repost I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis (endo) roughly a year and a half ago in October 2017 at the age of 28. Like most other women with endo, I was misdiagnosed several times and had doctors telling me that my textbook symptoms were normal. I was finally diagnosed in London via ultrasound after I stopped taking the pill and my symptoms became unbearable. I was missing work, I couldn’t function without a lot of painkillers and I was waking up at night in agony. The pill had been masking the severity of my symptoms for many years. I was relieved, shocked and horribly sad with my diagnosis of a disease that no one understands. I have now been taking the pill back-to-back for over the year, which masks a lot of my symptoms. I still have pain going to the toilet, bloating, spotting and constipation, but I must say that I am very used to my life with these issues. The more severe effects on my life is the fear of infertility, of surgery, the financial burden and the sadness that comes with having something wrong inside that can’t be seen. It is always on my mind, I am constantly worrying. I just hope that surgery goes well and that it doesn’t grow back as it does for many women the remarkable Hannah Cairns opens up about a condition, which many women suffer from and often in silence endometriosis. The more open we are, the more we release any shame associated with things that happen to our bodies as women, and the more at peace we will be #unretouched #thisismeseries @hannahcairns4

05.01.2022 G I R L S Today, the Queen's birthday honours have been released and many deserving Australians have received an Order of Australia Medal. One recipient stood out for me- Australia's first female commercial pilot, Deborah Lawrie. Deborah has received an OAM 40 years after winning a landmark sex discrimination case against Ansett Airlines. ... Lawrie's boss claimed that "menstrual cycles and lack of physical strength made women unsuitable candidates to be a pilot". This is absurd but unfortunately a common statement we've heard over the years and even to this day. Women are fierce and strong and more than capable.

02.01.2022 M E N ' S H E A L T H June 10-16 2019 is Men's Health Week in Australia. The aim of it is to increase awareness of medical conditions men face. In addition to the list above, mental health issues and suicide rates are very high in the male population.... 3 out of 4 suicides are men. Inactive men are 60% more likely to suffer depression than those who are active. Men who sleep 7-8 hours of sleep per night have a 60% reduced risk of having a fatal heart attack than those who sleep 5 hours or less Drinking more than 10 drinks per week doubles your risk of type 2 diabetes. #menshealth #menshealthweek #physicalhealth #mentalhealth #diabetes #heartattack #suicide #lungcancer #dementia #stroke #awareness #education @exerciseright_aus

01.01.2022 V A G I N A L M E S H A great article in the @goodweekendmag yesterday about transvaginal mesh implantation. Heart breaking to hear what so many women have endured. Transvaginal mesh was introduced in the late 1980s but since then over 18,000 Australian women and over 200,000 women internationally have experienced severe complications. It was being used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP), however for a lot of unfortunate women this has created severe and chronic pelv...ic pain. Complications post mesh insertion include hardening and shrinking of the mesh, perforating tissue and piercing organs, adhesions, infections, fistulas, abscesses and severe urinary and faecal incontinence. There was an eventual Senate enquiry in 2018 in to mesh use, of which former federal senator Derryn Hinch pushed to happen years ago. Hinch recalled "For five years, no one's touched this because it's got the word 'vagina' in it. If this had been a male problem, it would have been up there and out there and fixed in six months!". Severe pelvic pain may be caused from your transvaginal mesh surgery. Contact your experienced Women's Health Physiotherapist and Women's Health GP to discuss further.

01.01.2022 P R E G N A N C Y A fellow @bonduniversity DPT graduate and good friend of mine @toady81 (Jaclyn Szkwara) has recently published a research study looking at @srchealth compression shorts and their use of reducing lower back and pelvic pain in the prenatal period. The results outline that the use of @srchealth compression shorts in the pregnant population significantly help to reduce back and pelvic pain, as well as being thermally safe in the prenatal period. ... The study can be found at https://peerj.com/articles/7080/ Tag your pregnant besties who need to get themselves a pair of SRC Shorts and Physios feel free to share! #pregnancy #prenatal #pregnant #pregnantbelly #compressionshorts #src #backpain #pelvicpain #pelvicfloor #physiotherapy #womenshealth #research #evidencebased
