23.01.2022 Kangatraining Australia is passionate about women, their health and wellbeing, in particular Mums especially their pelvic health. We work closely with women's ...pelvic health physios and encourage our community to engage with their local provider. Why? For so many reasons but here is just ONE. Have you ever wondered what the "all clear" means at your six week postnatal check? READ BELOW There are MANY things providers look for to say you’re healed after having a baby. It’s an understatement to say that your body has gone through QUITE the transformation! @bumppelvichealth and @Postpartum.PUSH have teamed up to show you WHY you may need more than ONE provider postpartum to ensure you’re healing well! OB providers usually check many different aspects of your recovery and see if you’re having any issues with. Lactation Vaginal bleeding Incision healing or problems with stitches Mood disorders like depression, OCD, anxiety, etc Uterine, bladder, bowel, or pain problems If you are having problems with the last point in the list above your provider may refer you to a pelvic floor physical therapist or a womens pelvic health physio! They specialize in the pelvic floor and delve much deeper into that aspect of your healing. Pelvic Floor physical therapists often focus on other aspects of your postpartum recovery including: Pelvic floor muscle range of motion, strength, reflex activity Scar tissue healing, Perineal or C section Bowel and bladder function: straining, retention, incontinence Pelvic pain, heaviness or pressure Pelvic organ prolapse Diastasis Recti, core strength, function & stability Postpartum sex Pelvic floor physios often take a much more detailed look at the functioning of the pelvic floor, than medical providers do prior to giving someone the ‘all clear’ to resume regular activities. OB providers and pelvic floor physios have some overlap but they have their own specific specialties - care from BOTH providers may be the best approach for your healing! Thank you so much to Lacey from @bumppelvichealth for providing this wonderful visual and explanation. See more

22.01.2022 It’s common sense but good to see it supported by science. Aligns with the fact fitness instead of fatness predicts your risk of death at any level of body fat percentage. https://www.abc.net.au//health-bmi-vs-diet-for-ri/12688270

18.01.2022 Can cancer rehab help those with ADVANCED CANCER There are many people in our communities living with advanced cancer, and due to advances in treatments they... are living for much longer than ever before. This is making ‘living well’ during the years after a life limiting diagnosis more vitally important to address. Despite a growing interest around what constitutes ‘quality of life’ for those with such a diagnosis, the majority of this expanding sector of the population are still missing out on cancer rehabilitation. THIS MUST CHANGE. Studies have found that some of the most distressing concerns for the advanced cancer population are functional decline, dependency and uncontrolled symptoms. Symptom burden has been identified as the greatest contributor to a lower quality of life. These studies, and others are the reason why identifying and treating sources of functional compromise that can be minimized or eliminated, is absolutely necessary for those with advanced cancer. These are the aspects of ‘living well’ where participation in cancer rehabilitation can offer the biggest impacts. The areas of decline that cannot be eliminated and are inevitably experienced by those with advancing cancer can often be decelerated by participation in cancer rehabilitation, meaning that functional decline does not have to go hand in hand with helplessness <3.
