As the new year approaches, consider making your pelvic health a priority. The holiday season can be hectic, and self care often slips down the list. Keep up with your pelvic floor exercises, support your bladder health, listen to your body when something doesn’t feel right, and remember to rest. Let 2026 be the year you put yourself first. 💙

Every mum’s breastfeeding journey is unique, and taking care of yourself along the way makes all the difference. Nourishing your body, listening to your baby, and giving yourself patience and time can make feeding more comfortable and build confidence in both you and your little one. 💙

Your pelvic floor is a powerful part of your body and it deserves attention and care.
If you experience leakage when you cough, sneeze or exercise, feel heaviness, discomfort or pain, or notice changes during or after pregnancy, your body may be asking for some extra support.
Pelvic floor concerns are common, but they do not have to be part of your everyday life. With personalised pelvic floor physiotherapy, you can feel strong, confident and in control again. 💙

Many women are told that bladder leaks are just part of life after childbirth, but this is FALSE. While common, it is not something you need to put up with.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you regain confidence, strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control. A pelvic floor physio can assess your symptoms, tailor a program for your goals, and support you through every stage of recovery.

If you are experiencing leaks, heaviness, discomfort or core weakness, you deserve support.
Book an appointment and start feeling more like yourself again.

Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) happens more often than many people realise, especially in pregnancy. About one in five women experience it, but that doesn’t mean your pelvis is weak. It’s built to support you through all the changes you go through. Pain may show up at the front, back or hips and sometimes everyday movement feels harder than usual.

If you recognise this, our physiotherapists are here to help. We’ll give you a tailored assessment and treatment plan so you can move more comfortably again. Call 9431 2530 or visit our website to book online.💙

Dyspareunia is the term for pain during s*x, and it’s something many women experience but don’t always feel comfortable talking about. The pain can be at the point of entry or deeper in the pelvis, and it might feel sharp, achy, or just not quite right. In Australia, around 14 percent of women go through this at some stage, and it can be linked to things like pelvic floor tension, hormonal changes, infections, stress, or past experiences. The reassuring part is that it’s treatable. With support like pelvic floor physiotherapy and the right medical care, things can improve so much. If s*x has been painful for you, you’re not alone, and reaching out for help is a really positive step toward feeling more comfortable and confident in your body again. 💙

Expecting or recently had a baby? Pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period bring significant changes to the body, particularly the pelvis and core. The holiday period can add extra physical demands.

Our women’s health physiotherapists provide specialised support for pelvic girdle pain, core changes, incontinence, and overall postnatal recovery, helping you remain strong, supported, and comfortable during this time.

Take time for yourself this holiday period. Whether it’s guidance on safe lifting, posture, or managing aches and discomfort, we are here to support your wellbeing. 🎄💚

Reaching six weeks after birth is a major step, and it is the ideal time to check in with how your body is healing. A dedicated postnatal physio review gives you the chance to understand what is happening beneath the surface and to get clear, practical guidance for the months ahead.

During your appointment we assess your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and any changes related to pregnancy and birth. This may include checking abdominal separation, reviewing caesarean or perineal scar healing and discussing any symptoms like leaking, heaviness, pain or a sense that things are not quite right. We also look at how you are moving, how your core is engaging and what your day to day demands are, from lifting your baby to returning to walking or exercise.

Many women are unsure what is normal at this stage, so we take the time to talk through what to expect, what can be improved and how to safely rebuild strength. You will leave with a personalised plan based on your goals, your lifestyle and your stage of recovery, whether you want to feel comfortable again in daily tasks, prepare for a return to running or address specific pelvic floor concerns.

Your body has worked incredibly hard. A six week check up is a gentle, supportive way to make sure it receives the care it needs as you settle into life with your little one. If you are ready to book your review, we would love to support you.

As the sunshine appears and warmer weather arrives, many mums start to feel anxious about their postpartum bodies and whether they are ‘summer ready,’ but your body has already done the most extraordinary thing. You grew your baby, you birthed your baby, and you are slowly rebuilding your strength, and none of that should ever be rushed. Be gentle with yourself as you ease back into movement and remember that healing takes time. When you look in the mirror, remind yourself of everything you have achieved because your stretch marks, scars, and soft bits are symbols of love and strength. To your children, you are perfect, safe, and deeply loved, and this summer I hope you can begin to see yourself through their eyes: worthy, beautiful, and more than enough exactly as you are. 💙

Your pelvic floor plays a big part in how your body feels from day to day. It supports your core, your bladder, your bowel and your s*xual health. When something feels off, it can affect your confidence and your routine more than you expect. If you are unsure whether your pelvic floor is strong, weak, too tight or simply overwhelmed, our pelvic health physios are here to help you make sense of it all. We guide you through a clear assessment, explain things in a way that feels approachable and help you build strength and balance at a pace that suits you. The more you understand your body, the more empowered you feel to care for it.💙
