Choosing to look after your body is choosing your long-term health, independence, and confidence. That’s worth showing up for 💚

Gut issues and pelvic floor symptoms often show up together because they share pressure systems, nerve pathways, and stress responses.

Supporting your gut can dramatically reduce pelvic symptoms — and vice versa.

If you’re noticing a pattern, your body is telling you something.
We can help you decode it.

🩵What Sauna Can Do for Women’s Hormones

Sauna therapy isn’t just about sweating. For women navigating perimenopause and menopause, heat exposure can meaningfully support hormonal health.

When your core temperature rises, your body experiences a short, natural increase in cortisol (your stress hormone), followed by a deeper drop as you cool down. The result? Many women report feeling calmer, clearer and more resilient after regular sauna use.

Improved circulation during heat exposure supports the thyroid, adrenal glands and ovaries — all key players in energy, metabolism and hormonal regulation. At the same time, brain chemicals like dopamine and norepinephrine increase, which can enhance mood, focus and motivation.

Sauna also activates heat-shock proteins — specialised proteins that help your cells respond more effectively to estrogen and insulin. This is particularly important as estrogen levels naturally decline. Better insulin sensitivity supports blood sugar balance, metabolic health and more stable hormonal signalling.

With consistent use, research suggests sauna may help to:
• Improve insulin sensitivity
• Support thyroid and adrenal function
• Reduce fatigue and mood fluctuations
• Ease hot flushes
• Improve sleep quality

As your body cools post-sauna, your parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and restore” mode) switches on. This is where deep relaxation happens — supporting recovery, nervous system regulation and overall hormonal balance.

A quick safety note: If you use transdermal HRT patches, it’s best to remove them before sauna sessions. Heat can increase absorption and result in a higher hormone dose than intended.

Sauna isn’t a magic fix — but it is a powerful, evidence-informed tool that can support women’s health through midlife and beyond.

Let’s talk about a few things people don’t love hearing — but absolutely need to know if they want healthier joints, fewer injuries, and a body that actually lasts.

👇 1. Most joint pain isn’t from one “bad move.”
It’s from years of under-training, over-sitting, or doing the same motions without building the strength to support them. Your joints don’t randomly “go bad” — they respond to the load you put on them.

👇 2. Rest is NOT always the answer.
If you rest every time something aches, you weaken the muscles that protect the joint… which makes future pain more likely.
Controlled movement, strength work, and gradual loading are usually far more effective than endless rest days.

👇 3. Walking isn’t a strength program.
It’s great for health, but it won’t build the muscle or stability that prevents arthritis, tendinitis, and chronic pain. Your joints need strength training the way your heart needs cardio.

👇 4. Your posture matters less than you think — your capacity matters much more.
People with “perfect posture” still get pain. People with “bad posture” often don’t.
What actually matters? How strong, mobile, and conditioned your tissues are.

👇 5. Most injuries aren’t bad luck — they’re predictable.
Weak hips → knee pain
Weak glutes → low back pain
Weak rotator cuff → shoulder pain
Your body tells you for months before something becomes a “sudden” injury.

👇 6. The #1 thing that protects your joints is strength.
Not supplements.
Not braces.
Not gadgets.
Strength. Strong muscles distribute force so your joints don’t have to absorb every impact.

👇 7. Ignoring pain doesn’t make you tough — it makes rehab longer.
Pain is information. You don’t have to panic, but you shouldn’t pretend it’s not there. Early changes = faster recovery.

👇 8. You can’t outsource your joint health.
We can guide you — but the daily work is yours.

Your gut and pelvic floor aren’t separate systems — they’re deeply connected.

Many women think their symptoms are random or unrelated, but the stress → gut → pelvic floor chain explains SO much.

If you’re dealing with constipation, pressure, heaviness or urgency, you deserve answers and simple strategies.

Foam rolling, also known as self-myofascial release, is a popular technique used to improve flexibility, mobility, and muscle recovery. Here are some of the benefits associated with foam rolling:

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Foam rolling can help increase joint range of motion and muscle flexibility by breaking up adhesions and knots in the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles.

𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Rolling over tight muscles can alleviate muscle tension and soreness by promoting blood flow and releasing trigger points.

𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆: Foam rolling can aid in muscle recovery after exercise by reducing inflammation and promoting circulation, which helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to the muscles.

𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: Regular foam rolling can help prevent injuries by addressing muscle imbalances, reducing tightness, and improving joint mobility, thus decreasing the risk of strains and overuse injuries.

In the video above, Bree is demonstrating some simple, yet effective ways use the foam roller.
Pop into the clinic today to purchase your own foam roller and feel the benefits!
