We have another TPS baby in the making! Our lovely physio, Erin, is expecting a baby girl in November and we couldn't be more excited to add another little team member to the mix 🩷🩷

Erin will be on maternity leave from the 5th Sept, returning late 2026.

Please join us in sharing well wishes for Erin and her family 🩷

FAQ Friday 👉🏻 Can I exercise with ###XX?

With the right support, we say absolutely — and in many cases, you should 💪

While certain exercises can provoke symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, we’re here to help you stay active and symptom-free! At The Pelvic Studio, we champion movement, because smart, tailored exercise can actually improve pelvic health. 🌱

But it has to be done right. So what does that look like?
✅ Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT)
✅ Tailored rehab plans
✅ Exercise modifications
✅ Symptom management tools

If you're experiencing symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, or pelvic girdle pain, we recommend an assessment with our expert team. 👩‍⚕️

We’re passionate about giving you the tools to return to exercise confidently because the right kind of exercise improves pelvic support, core strength, and body awareness — without worsening symptoms. 🙌

Want to support your pelvic floor while running or lifting? Start by warming it up! 🔥

Join Erin as she takes you through a quick pelvic floor warm-up to get you prepped for movement — whether it’s sprints or squats! 🏋️‍♀️🏃‍♀️

If you experience leakage, feelings or heaviness or dragging or pain with running, we strongly recommend a pelvic floor assessment. For personalised advice? You can book a Pelvic Health + Sport/Running Assessment via the link in our bio or by calling our team 03 6244 7195 📞

💡 Ever heard of a pessary? It’s a small silicone device placed in the va**na to help support the pelvic organs — and it can make a BIG difference. 🙌

Whether you're dealing with prolapse or urinary incontinence, a pessary might help reduce symptoms like va**nal heaviness, urgency, or incomplete bladder emptying. 🫣💧

So, why consider one?
📚 A recent systematic review showed that women who used a pessary in addition to pelvic floor muscle training were twice as likely to report improvement in prolapse symptoms and quality of life!

Think of it like a support bra — but for your pelvic floor
Low risk. Conservative. And a game-changer for many ✅

Pessary fitting requires additional training, and at TPS we are fortunate to now have 5 physios skilled in this management!

Curious if it’s right for you? You can book a Prolapse Initial Assessment online - this will direct you to our pessary whizzes! 🙋🏻‍♀️

So you know what Prolapse is - but how do you manage it?
Well, pelvic floor physiotherapy is one of the most effective, evidence-based ways to manage prolapse symptoms 💪

At TPS, we have 5(!!!) physios skilled in managing pelvic organ prolapse:
Jac 👩🏻, Morgan 👩🏼‍🦰, Erin 👩🏻, Hannah 👱🏼‍♀️ and Emma 👩🏼‍🦰 (some pictured)

Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help by:
✅ Teaching correct pelvic floor muscle activation
✅ Building strength, endurance & coordination
✅ Educating you on movement, posture & lifting techniques
✅ Managing intra-abdominal pressure (think: how you breathe and brace!)
✅ Supporting your return to meaningful activities
✅ Exploring pessary options if appropriate

💡 Evidence shows that pelvic floor muscle training can significantly reduce prolapse symptoms and improve quality of life — especially when guided by a trained physio.

Let’s work together to support your body and keep you doing what you love. 💜

This Continence Week, we're spotlighting evidence-based solutions for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.

🔍 A growing body of research shows that supervised pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) ✨ combined ✨ with exercise-based rehabilitation helps men regain bladder control significantly faster than PFMT alone.

📊 In fact, men who took part in comprehensive physiotherapy programs were up to 60% more likely to be continent within 3–6 months post-surgery.

So, what does comprehensive rehab look like?
It includes:
✅ PFMT for targeted pelvic floor strength
✅ Resistance and aerobic training to restore overall physical function
✅ Functional movement exercises (like sit-to-stand, stair climbing)
✅ Education on bladder habits, posture, and breath control

🧠 The results aren’t just physical—men also report better emotional wellbeing, confidence, and overall quality of life.

The Pelvic Studio are proud to offer a pre & post op service that ticks these boxes - particularly through our Men's Health Group Classes 😇

💬 This Continence Week, let’s raise awareness about the full picture of pelvic health care.

17/06/2025

Happy Continence Week! 🎉

Continence is the body’s ability to control your bladder and bowel, and your pelvic floor function plays a considerable role when it comes to staying continent!

🙋‍♀️ The good news?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help reduce or completely resolve symptoms — without surgery.

In fact, up to 80% of women with stress-urinary incontinence (leakage with cough, jump, sneeze) reported cure or significant improvement with symptoms with physio as first line management.

At The Pelvic Studio we have a range of tools in our toolkit to help support your continence.
⁣
Continence Week is all about breaking the silence on continence issues to improve access to quality, evidence based care. You can find that at TPS 💙

At The Pelvic Studio, we can screen for pelvic organ prolapse during our assessment, and provide tailored advice based on your goals/life stages.

We ask questions to help determine your risk factors which may include:
➡️ Obstetric history
➡️ Hormonal changes (hello, menopause)⁣
➡️ Intra-abdominal pressure (from constipation and straining, chronic cough, or heavy lifting)⁣
➡️ Past pelvic surgeries
➡️ and even genetics (thanks, Mum)⁣

We can then assess the pelvic floor, checking for strength, endurance and coordination 💪🏻, as well as how your pelvic floor responds with bearing down, coughing or movement 🏋🏻

🤰🏻 If you're currently pregnant, we can use this information from to provide you with a tailored pelvic floor muscle training program to optimise your tissues for birth, as well as advice regarding straining both during labour, but also day-to-day toileting, to reduce the risk of POP. This info can also help you make confident and informed decisions about your birth plan, in consultation with your antenatal team.

👩🏻‍🍼 If you're having POP symptoms postnatally, we can provide tailored management to help improve your symptoms and support your postnatal recovery, including supporting your goals to return to exercise.

🏃🏻‍♀️👱🏼‍♀️👩🏽‍🦳🏋🏻 Even if you're through the perinatal period, have never had children, or are just unsure about what you're feeling, there is plenty of support to be provided by pelvic floor physiotherapy. It's never too late to make meaningful change to your quality of life!

Let’s lift the stigma (and your pelvic floor 😉)⁣

photo dump! What an amazing opportunity to educate the team - and now you guys!!! Stay tuned 🤩

12/06/2025

A honest conversation about life with POP.

Today we spoke to our physio Erin about her experience with Prolapse, how it impacted her running (spoiler - she's still hitting the trails!!), and why she's so passionate about supporting women through this journey 💜

09/06/2025

Happy Men's Health Week!!! 💙

Here’s to creating a community where men’s health matters, every week of the year 🏋🏻

We know a lot of men don’t always speak up about their health — especially when it comes to pelvic floor symptoms.

Whether it’s your own symptoms, or your partner, brother, dad or friend — starting the conversation could make all the difference.

Our male pelvic health service supports:
🔹 Pre and post prostate surgery
🔹 Bladder leakage, urgency & frequency
🔹 Bowel issues like constipation, incontinence & urgency
🔹 Pelvic pain
🔹 Injury prevention & rehab

Let’s normalise these chats, and point the men in our lives the right direction.
We're proud to offer a space where talking about health - and the pelvic floor - is the norm!!

02/06/2025

Pelvic Organ Prolapse, or POP is when when or more of the pelvic organs (bladder uterus or bowel) descends into the va**na.

Whilst it's not often talked about, it affects around 50% of women who have had a va**nal birth - at some point.

At The Pelvic Studio, we’re on a mission to raise awareness and help women get the care they deserve—because you can live a full, active life, even with POP! 💪💙

June is Pelvic Organ Prolapse Awareness, and we look forward to sharing some resources to break the silence to empower and support women experiencing prolapse symptoms!

Stay tuned 💙
