Powerful Pelvis Physio

27/02/2026

You may have seen recent conversations following the Four Corners episode, which raised concerns about care for women with pelvic pain — including reports of repeated surgeries where, in some cases, pathology later showed little or no evidence of endometriosis.

As a pelvic health physiotherapist, this is what I want you to know:

Pain is always valid.
But how we assess and treat that pain matters.

Endometriosis — and pelvic pain more broadly — is complex.
It’s not always explained by what is (or isn’t) found during surgery.

Physiotherapy focuses on the bigger picture:
• Pelvic floor function
• Nervous system sensitivity
• Movement, load, and return to exercise
• Pain with intimacy and daily life

We also support you before and after surgery, and we’re often part of the pathway to diagnosis — helping guide referrals when something more needs to be investigated.

You deserve care that:
• Listens
• Looks at your whole body
• Gives you options

Not rushed. Not one-dimensional. Not one-size-fits-all.

Hormones + pelvic floor changes are real — and rarely explained.

Perimenopause and menopause can significantly impact pelvic floor function due to changes in oestrogen levels.

What many women don’t realise is that symptoms like leaking, heaviness, or pain with intimacy can show up years after childbirth — even if everything felt “normal” before.

This isn’t failure.
This is physiology.

And it requires a different approach to rehab — one that respects tissue changes, load, and the role of hormones.

If you’ve noticed changes in your body and wondered “why now?” — this could be why.

“Mommy thumb” (De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis) can be so debilitating, especially with a “stage 5 clinger” in your arms! 🧸

This painful inflammation of the wrist tendons is common in post partum (also known as De Quervain’s tenosynovitis) , but adjusting your grip can make a world of difference. Try this classic carry hold adjustment to decrease the load on your wrist and find some relief. Oh and go see your physio 😜

If you’ve ever wondered *“am I actually doing my pelvic floor exercises right?”* — try this 👇

Sit on a folded towel and gently contract your pelvic floor. You should feel a subtle lift away from the towel, not pushing down into it.

This simple feedback trick can help you connect with the right muscles (because guessing isn’t a great rehab plan 😉).

Remember: it’s a gentle lift + relax, not a squeeze-everything-and-hold-your-breath moment.

Save this to try later and send it to a friend who’s never sure if their pelvic floor is working 💬

I said what I said. 🏔️ As a pelvic health physio, these are the truths I will advocate for until the end of time.

Whether it’s the ‘just in case’ wees or the ‘just do Kegels’ myth, we need to talk about what actually leads to long-term healing.

Swipe through to see the hills I’m dying on—and why your pelvic health deserves more than a ‘wait and see’ approach.

Plank is one of the best core exercises to do. There are many ways to do a plank. Activating into the deep core is essential.

I like to bring mindfulness into simple exercises. Being mindful of how you are contracting and breathing while we exercising, strengthens your neural pathways. This teaches your body to use these new patterns without you thinking of it! Helping you to be strong and pain free!

Challenge!!! Todays pelvic floor exercise is to try and hold your core and pelvic floor while doing a forearm plank!! Try to hold for 20seconds!

Remember you are NOT holding your breath! You need to keep breathing! ✨
