Let’s talk about diastasis recti ✨

1️⃣ Diastasis recti is common in pregnancy & postpartum
As your baby grows, your abdominal wall stretches to make room. This separation along the midline is a normal, adaptive change — not a sign your body has failed.

2️⃣ The greatest changes often happen in the first 12 weeks
As pregnancy hormones drop and tissues regain some tension, the first few months after birth can be a very responsive time for gentle core and pelvic floor rehab. But recovery and improvement are possible at any stage — it’s never “too late” to start.

3️⃣ Many factors affecting the degree of stretch are non-modifiable
Things like your connective tissue type, number of pregnancies, baby size, and carrying multiples can influence how much your abdomen stretches. Most of these aren’t under your control — and it’s less about how much stretch you have and more about how your body responds. The size of the gap doesn’t necessarily predict your ability to reduce or retract it with rehab.

4️⃣ Seeing a pelvic health physio helps
A pelvic health physiotherapist can check your abdominal wall, pelvic floor and posture, then give you a personalised exercise plan, education and reassurance so you feel confident in your recovery.

Women’s Health Week- Day 4- Pain to Power

Pain to power - your pain has a voice! 

As women we often try to push through the pain and go through it alone.
Turn your struggles into strength:

* Listen to your body - seek the care you deserve
* Knowledge is power - education is powerful and can help with your health journey 
* Advocate for change - speaking up can help to improve health care systems, the support you are given, and support for all women
* Empower yourself and connect with others - break the silence and the stigma around Women’s Health conditions

Women’s Health Week- Day 3: Heart Smart

 Did you know? Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australian women — but it’s often under-recognised.

🔹 Women often experience different heart attack symptoms than men (nausea, fatigue, jaw/back pain)
 🔹 2 in 3 women don’t recognise heart attack warning signs
 🔹 Risk increases after menopause due to hormonal changes

Stay Heart Smart:
 🌿 Prioritise regular exercise
 🥒 Eat a heart-healthy diet
 🎓 Know your blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose
 🌈 Manage stress and sleep
 👀 Don’t ignore unusual fatigue or breathlessness

Share this with your mum, sister, or best friend — it could save a life.

Women’s Health Week- Day 2: Take The Lead

Your health, your body, your choice.

Whether you’re seeing a physio, GP, midwife or specialist — it’s okay to have questions. In fact, it’s smart. Preparing for your appointment helps you feel confident, informed, and in control.
✅ Write your questions down
✅ Know that no question is too small or silly
✅ Ask for clarification if you don’t understand
✅ Feel 100% informed before any tests or treatments
✅ Ask about alternatives and risks
✅ Trust your gut and advocate for yourself

Here are some great questions to start with:
 👉 “What are my options?”
 👉 “What are the risks vs benefits?”
 👉 “What would happen if I wait?”
 👉 “Is there another professional I can speak to?”

You deserve to be informed, respected, and heard — every time.

Women’s Health Week- Day 1: Every Check Matters

Women’s health isn’t just about one part of your body — it’s about the whole picture.

 Have you ticked off your important health checks this year?
🔹 Breast self-checks & mammograms
🔹 Cervical screening (every 5 years if you’re over 25)
🔹 Skin checks (especially in Australia!)
🔹 Blood pressure and cholesterol
🔹 Bone density (especially postmenopause)
🔹 Pelvic floor and postnatal check-ups

Early detection saves lives. Speak to your GP or women’s health physio about what you need based on your age and stage of life.

Share this with a friend and book the check you’ve been putting off.

👉 Education on labour positions, breathwork and pushing/relaxation strategies
👉 Musculoskeletal assessment 
👉 Perineal massage education (for vaginal birth prep)
👉 C-section prep or scar care guidance if you’re planning or have had a caesarean
👉 Partner tips and how they can support you during labour
👉 A personalised plan to help you feel strong, safe, and supported

💜 Our goal? To help you feel informed, confident, and connected to your body—whatever your birth path looks like.

🌸Struggling with mastitis? Therapeutic ultrasound can help.

Mastitis can be painful, frustrating, and exhausting — especially for breastfeeding mums. 💛 The good news? Therapeutic ultrasound is a safe, gentle, and effective treatment that can help relieve symptoms fast.

Here’s how it works 👇
🔸 Reduces inflammation in breast tissue
🔸 Breaks up blocked milk ducts using sound waves
🔸 Improves circulation to promote healing
🔸 Relieves pain and pressure in just a few sessions

✨ Most mums feel improvement after 1–3 treatments, often alongside other supportive strategies.

If you’re dealing with mastitis or recurrent blocked ducts, you don’t have to go through it alone. Our experienced physios are here to support you with expert care and compassion. 💕
