Haemorrhoids (piles) are swollen blood vessels in the re**um or a**s and can cause pain, itching and bleeding.

A 2025 study found that using a smartphone on the toilet is associated with a 46% increased risk of developing haemorrhoids, primarily because phone use increases the time spent on the toilet. 37.3% of phone users spent over five minutes, causing increased pressure on the a**l veins.

It is recommended to limit toilet time to only as long as necessary, ideally under 5 minutes to prevent straining and the development of symptomatic haemorrhoids.

Back to 2016?! Would I actually want to do that?! I started the year with a 2 year old and a 2 month old! It was a great year but a physically and emotionally challenging one!

I couldn’t find any photos of me with my husband and that sums it up. It was a year of being a busy working mum. Trying to spread myself equally between the kids. Harvey’s christening, my brother’s wedding and our 6 year wedding anniversary. We sang a lot of ‘Let it go’, watched a lot of Peppa Pig and we enjoyed half a year of both kids having the same 2 hour mid day nap time!

It was also the year I got my 5 years all clear from bowel cancer which was a milestone we were not initially convinced I would see.

I loved that year: watching my baby take his first steps, my big boy become the best big brother, constant cuddles and giggles but my 2026 will bring me a teenager, hours of watching my boys play football, ski holidays together and time for me and my husband to relax whilst the boys are in the skate park. Bring on 2026!

Your body, posture and movement patterns change dramatically during pregnancy. In fact your rib angle increases from 69 degrees to 104 degrees at their central insertion point on the breast bone!

These changes do not automatically switch back after delivery. Sometimes we need to release stiffness and tightness and strengthen weaker areas to return to optimal posture.

Rib flare or forward ribcage position is commonly seen after delivery. Here are some key points that you can work on to help correct this dysfunction.

This upper abdominal scar is as old as my patient! A scar from surgery when she was a baby 36 years ago.

She came to see me for The Mummy MOT when I spotted this scar and the dysfunction it was causing. We have done three sessions of manual scar therapy, combined with visceral mobilisation and Lymphatouch.

We still have a long way to go but I am thrilled with the improvement. Perfect example of ‘it’s never too late’ to treat your scar!

Fresh off the press!

This 2025 systematic review highlights the significant effect of lactation induced hormone deficiency on Genito-urinary health.

So many of my patients report pain with s*x and lack of pleasure and this review highlights just how many women feel the same way.

Please don’t suffer in silence. Speak to your doctor, your physio and most importantly your partner.

A lovely result for this second time c-section mama!

The combination of scar therapy and visceral mobilisation has helped flatten the scar and lift the peritoneal fascia causing the slight overhang.

If you have a c-section scar that you are concerned about, whether that be it’s appearance, pain, restriction or numbness, book in to see me

As a women’s health physio I am here to support a woman throughout all the stages of her life.

Providing education, advice, support, guidance and treatment to ensure women are heard and get to live their best life.

Women’s health is an area that historically has been neglected with many women suffering in silence.

This needs to change.

Women deserve better.

Visceral mobilisation is the treatment of your organs, their ligaments and surrounding connective tissue (fascia) to allow glide, slide and normal movement and function.

Here the area above the c-section scar was stuck down and I worked on the bladder ligament, small intestines, diaphragm and abdominal fascia to improve the appearance and function of the lower abdomen.
