How hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause impact your pelvic floor 💗

Oestrogen plays a vital role in maintaining the health and function of the pelvic floor, it supports strength, elasticity, blood supply, hydration and resilience

During perimenopause oestrogen levels fluctuate for 4-10 years and as you move into menopause oestrogen levels decline and remain low

This impacts:
✨ Pelvic floor muscles - they may become weaker and less coordinated
✨ Bladder and urethral tissues - may be impacted creating urinary leakage, urgency or frequency
✨ Connective tissues and ligaments - lose laxity resulting in reduced support for pelvic organs increasing risk of prolapse
✨ Vaginal tissues - may become drier and thinner contributing to pain and discomfort with in*******se

Pelvic floor care includes:
🤲🏻 Manage bladder symptoms
🤲🏻 Support management for prolapse
🤲🏻 Treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction including weakness, tightness or poor coordination
🤲🏻 Individualised exercise programs, relaxation and manual therapy
🤲🏻 Education and lifestyle advice

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is available at Fundamental Health to support you. Book online or call us on (02) 6193 2354 to book in with Gurpreet

April is stress awareness month ✨ Relaxation & rest: why your body needs rest and how massage helps you reset 💆🏼‍♀️

In this busy world with increasing demands of deadlines, faster paced technology, add kids or personal incidents on top of that and no wonder so many of us are either in or close to burn out.

Committing to a regular massage treatment is now not a 'luxury' but more of a necessity in order to help us regulate and reset our CNS (central nervous system).

Massage literally changes our state from a sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system to a parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system - like switching from drive to park on a car.

Better still, when massage finishes with gentle neck work, it helps to bring the CNS back into balance leaving you to feel refreshed and (almost) ready to fight another battle of the field that is our modern life.

A reminder to slow down, breathe, and to take care of yourself. Treat yourself to a remedial massage - you deserve it 💗 Our massage therapists Amanda and Rhiannon are here to help you 🤲🏻
