Perineal massage is a technique often recommended by obstetricians, midwives and physiotherapists in the weeks leading up to labour to help prepare the perineum (the area between the va**na and a**s) for childbirth. Evidence suggests that perineal massage from 35 weeks pregnant may be associated with a reduced risk of pelvic floor injury or need for an episiotomy in women experiencing their first va**nal birth. The evidence also suggests that 2nd stage labour time (the pushing part) may be reduced, post-delivery perineal pain may be reduced, and wound healing may be improved.

Perineal massage can be demonstrated to you (and your partner if you’d like!) by your physiotherapist, any time from 35 weeks. At this appointment, we can also discuss and practice your pushing technique; ensuring you feel really well prepared for your upcoming labour. If this is something you’d like to learn more about, please get in touch 🌱

Whether you are rehabbing an injury, recovering from pregnancy and childbirth or starting running for the first time, we encourage a slow, gradual introduction.

Before you take this step, we recommend strength training.

We meet eager runners every day. We get it - we like to run too! Our mantra is to ‘earn your run’ with strength work.

Ensuring you compliment your running with hip, leg, core and pelvic floor strength and function will reduce your risk of injury and increase the likelihood of a successful, enjoyable return!

This training looks different for everyone. When we assess someone post pregnancy, injury or prior to introducing a new activity, we look at how they move and function, what their strength is and then determine what exercise will enhance their recovery and function.

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is discomfort experienced in/around the pelvis/pelvic joints and can be a common experience in pregnancy.

It can be the result of changes to your posture, increased pressure on your pelvis as your pregnancy progresses, along with normal pregnancy-related hormonal changes that influence the structural supports around your pelvis.

It is often provoked by:
🌱 Rolling in bed
🌱 Getting in/out of cars/chairs
🌱 Walking
🌱 Standing on one leg to get dressed

Some strategies to help include:
🌱 Keep ankles/knees together when rolling
🌱 Sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs
🌱 Have your feet square with even body weight distributed when moving from sit to stand
🌱 Reduce your walking pace and step length when able
🌱 Sit down to get dressed

If symptoms persist you may require additional treatment to help improve strength and control around your pelvis. In some instances a pelvic support belt might be helpful!

If you have pelvic girdle pain try some of the strategies above, or get in touch and one of our physios can help you!

Many women will experience muscle aches and pains during their pregnancy. This is often due to their muscles working hard to accommodate the growing baby and weight gain, postural changes, and extra demands placed on them as ligaments soften and relax. You may find regular stretching during your week helps to ease the discomfort felt from fatigued or tight muscles. Stretches that target the lower back, upper back, pelvic and hip muscles are our usual go to.

Swipe for some of our favourites!

If you’re experiencing pain, some more individualised and targeted exercise may be needed. If this is you, seek help from a women’s health physiotherapist!
