✨ Strength starts from the inside out! ✨

Pilates builds strength, mobility, and mindful movement - but your pelvic floor deserves attention too!

At Evolve Physio & Pelvic Health, we can assess how your pelvic floor is functioning so you can train your inner and outer muscles together, safely and effectively.

Pilates classes are run onsite by Adapt Movement, right here in the same building - making it easier than ever to combine pelvic health support with quality movement training.

💫 Limited Pilates spots still available!
If you’ve been thinking about getting started, now’s the perfect time.

🧠💪 Did You Know Weightlifting Isn’t Just for Your Muscles… It’s for Your Brain Too?

Strength training has some incredible effects on the brain - and the benefits go far beyond the gym. Here’s what happens upstairs when you lift weights:

✨ Boosts Mood & Reduces Stress
Lifting increases endorphins and helps regulate stress hormones, leaving you feeling clearer, calmer, and more resilient.

🧠 Improves Memory & Focus
Strength training has been linked to better cognitive function - including sharper memory, faster processing, and improved concentration.

🛡️ Protects the Brain as You Age
Research shows resistance training can help slow cognitive decline and support long-term brain health by improving blood flow and stimulating neural growth.

💥 Builds Mental Strength, Not Just Physical Strength
Seeing yourself get stronger builds confidence, improves emotional wellbeing, and helps you feel more in control of your body and mind.

Remember, if you are starting out go small, 2-3 x per week, do a variety of exercises, work with a professional, listen to your body and aim for better not perfect.

💛 Men - Let’s Talk Perimenopause 💛

Perimenopause is a major hormonal transition that many women go through, and it can bring changes in mood, energy, sleep, and overall wellbeing. Even though men don’t experience it themselves, understanding what’s happening can make a huge difference at home and in relationships.

Here are 3 things worth knowing:

1️⃣ Hormone changes can affect emotions and energy levels.
Shifts in hormones can influence mood, stress tolerance, and sleep. If your partner seems more tired, overwhelmed, or emotional - it’s often the body adjusting, not something personal.

2️⃣ What helps most is support, not solutions.
Sometimes all that’s needed is space to talk, someone to listen, or a bit of extra patience. You don’t need to have the answers - just being present can make the biggest impact.

3️⃣ Mid-life can be a turning point for both partners.
While she’s navigating physical changes, you might be dealing with your own shifts - stress, ageing, work demands, identity changes. Talking openly creates understanding on both sides and strengthens connection.

💬 Simple ways to support:
✔️ Ask “How can I support you today?”
✔️ Listen without trying to fix everything
✔️ Be patient during tough days
✔️ Encourage rest, movement, and checking in with health professionals

Perimenopause is easier to navigate with empathy, communication, and teamwork.

💙 November 19 – International Men’s Day 💙

Today we’re recognizing International Men’s Day - a day to celebrate the men in our lives and to shine a light on something truly important: men’s health and wellbeing.

Too often, men put their health last- pushing through pain, skipping check-ups, and keeping silent about how they really feel. But looking after yourself isn’t weakness - it’s strength. 💪

This International Men’s Day, we’re encouraging all men to:
✅ Book a health check – early prevention can save lives.
🧠 Check in on your mental health – talk to a mate, reach out, or chat to a professional. Poor mental health is closely linked to su***de, and every conversation can make a difference.
💬 Move your body, prioritise rest, and seek help when you need it.

At Evolve Physio & Pelvic Health Geraldton, we’re here to support every aspect of your wellbeing - from movement and strength, to pelvic health and recovery.

Let’s make health something men talk about, value, and act on. 💙

Let’s talk pelvic flaws! 👇
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and uterus. It is a hammock like group of muscles which spans the floor of your pelvis.

When it’s strong and coordinated, it helps with bladder and bowel control, posture, and even sexual function. When it’s not, we can experience leakage of wee, wind or poo, get pain, or pressure.
The good news? You can retrain it. It's never too late or too old to work on muscles. 💪

➡️Our friendly pelvic health physios are here for you to learn what your pelvic floor really needs. Bella is working every Thursday so if that suits you come on and book in.
