We’re so proud to see our team contributing to important conversations about wellbeing and quality of life.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

At Peninsula Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy , we’re committed to creating a welcoming and respectful space for everyone - we continue to grow and improve on how we do that.

We offer all-gender toilets, and are updating our patient management system to include a broader range of gender titles and identities — because inclusive care starts with being seen and respected for who you are.

This is part of our ongoing commitment to meaningful change, inclusion, and equity in healthcare.

This Pride Month (and every month), we celebrate and support our LGBTQIA+ community.

You belong here 💛 and will be met with compassion, understanding, and dignity.

May is Pelvic Pain Awareness Month!

Persistent pelvic pain affects 1 in 6 people assigned female at birth, and 1 in 10 people assigned male at birth.

Increased tone in the pelvic floor muscles is often to blame. The muscles can become tender and tense causing many different symptoms including pain with in*******se and bladder or bowel dysfunction.

Pelvic pain is complex and can be located in many areas, requiring very individualised treatment.

Treatment aimed at relaxation and improved control of the pelvic floor muscles is often helpful.

Common pelvic pain conditions we treat include:

💜 Pelvic joint pain
💜 Anorectal pain
💜 Coccyx (tailbone) pain
💜 Dyspareunia (pain with or after in*******se)
💜 Vaginismus (spasms of the vaginal muscles)
💜 Anismus (spasms of the a**l muscles)
💜 Endometriosis-associated pain
💜 Bladder pain
💜 Prostate pain
💜 Testicular pain
💜 Vulval pain

Treatment may include:

💜 Pelvic floor relaxation exercises
💜 Breathing exercises
💜 Targeted stretching
💜 Dilator training
💜 Manual therapies
💜 Support belts or garments
💜 Modifying aggravating activities

You don’t have to live with pelvic pain. Help is available.

Did you go for a run this weekend and feel yourself leaking?

Might be time to book in with your pelvic floor physio.

Leaking when running is common, but it is not normal.

Abdominal Separation also known as "Re**us Diastasis" effects 100% of pregnant women by 35 weeks.

This is caused by an impairment to the linear alba, as the uterus expands during pregnancy the linear alba widens and becomes thinner creating separation between your six pack muscles.

Avoid heaving lifting
Avoid crunches or sit ups
Wear compression

The problem of stress incontinence occurs when pressure in the abdomen exceeds the strength at the exit of the bladder during coughing, sneezing, laughing, and doing impact exercises.

After delivering a baby, one in three women will experience this problem.

If you're struggling, we can show you how to exercise your muscles and rehabilitate your muscles with electrical stimulation of the pelvic floor if you’re unable to contact your pelvic floor.

How to know if you might have endometriosis?

If you have had persistently heavy, painful periods since a young age, that cause them to take time off school or not to be able to participate in normal activities, they should be seen by a Doctor. Painful periods are classified as normal but the pain of endometriosis is not normal and should seek help from their G.P.

Endometriosis causes painful periods, painful ovulation (mid cycle), pain during or after s*xual in*******se, heavy bleeding, persistent pelvic pain, sometimes difficulty having children.

This is pain relating to a problem with a particular nerve called the “pudendal nerve”. There is a typical pattern to pain whereby the pain is worse sitting, relieved by standing and does not wake you at night. It may be on one side or both sides. It could become irritated by trauma from surgery for example or it can even by irritated by tension from tight pelvic floor muscles.
