💛 Endometriosis is not “just bad periods.”
It’s a complex condition that can affect your whole body — and understanding what’s happening inside is the first step toward feeling empowered.

Here’s what the science tells us:
🔸 Lesions outside the uterus respond to hormones, causing inflammation and pain
🔸 Progesterone resistance means the usual calming effect of this hormone doesn’t work, so inflammation runs wild
🔸 Oestrogen dominance fuels lesion growth and nerve changes, making pain worse
🔸 Hypoxia (low oxygen) triggers new blood vessels and nerves — adding to discomfort
🔸 Neuroinflammation keeps your nervous system on high alert, so even mild sensations can feel painful
🔸 Immune system changes mean your body struggles to clear lesions, and instead promotes inflammation

Your pain is real. And while endometriosis may be invisible to others, the science behind it is clear — this is a whole-body condition, not something you should just “push through.”

Pelvic health physiotherapy can help by:
🍑 Supporting pelvic floor function
🍑 Regulating your nervous system to reduce pain sensitivity
🍑 Guiding safe movement and exercise
🍑 Addressing bladder, bowel, and sexual health concerns with compassion

You deserve care that understands the complexity of endometriosis — and supports you every step of the way.

Been a while and you'd like to check in? 🍑
We'd love to chat!

But remember, if it's been more than 12 months since your last visit, you'll need to book an 'extended 60-minute appointment'. Just like when you grab a coffee with a friend you haven't seen in a while, we usually have lots to catch up on! And we never want to cut you short on time with your clinician - so this just ensures we have plenty of time to catch up and deliver some treatment value inside your appointment.

🤰✨ Hypermobility & Pregnancy: Practical Tips for a Smoother Journey ✨🤰

Last week we talked about how pregnancy can feel a little different if you’re hypermobile — from extra joint laxity to earlier pelvic discomfort and more intense aches. The good news? There’s so much you can do to support your body and set yourself up for a more comfortable pregnancy. 💜

Here are some of our go-to physio tips:

🩲 Compression is your friend
Pregnancy-grade compression leggings or shorts can make a huge difference. They offer lumbar, pelvic, and bump support — and full-leg versions may even help with POTS symptoms. (Bonus: you can often claim them through private health with a physio prescription.)

🍑 External support matters
A pregnancy support belt or sacroiliac (SIJ) belt can add extra stability, especially as your bump grows. Some people even layer them over compression garments for maximum comfort.

🛌 Prioritise rest and sleep positioning
Supportive pillows between your knees (or a U-shaped pillow) can keep your hips and pelvis aligned and reduce nighttime discomfort.

👟 Think about daily movement
Supportive footwear and avoiding uneven weight-bearing movements (like lunges or standing on one leg to put on shoes) can reduce joint strain. And while it’s tempting to rest more, staying active (with guidance!) helps keep muscles strong and symptoms manageable.

💪 Plan ahead
If you’re thinking about pregnancy, building strength beforehand can make a big difference. A stronger baseline means fewer barriers and more resilience once those pregnancy hormones kick in.

Small changes really do add up. Working with a pelvic health physio can help you tailor these strategies to your body — so you feel supported, confident, and empowered every step of the way.

🌸 Let’s Talk About Dilators — and How They Can Help With Painful Pe*******on 🌸

Pain with pe*******on is more common than you might think — and it’s not something you need to just live with. One reason it happens is that the pelvic floor is closely connected to the emotional part of the brain. If we expect pain, the muscles often tighten as a protective reflex.

That muscle tension reduces blood flow, limits space for pe*******on, and can make intimacy uncomfortable — which in turn reinforces the fear–pain cycle. Over time, this can lead to ongoing avoidance of sexual activity.

💫 One of the most effective ways to break that cycle is by re-establishing a sense of safety with pe*******on — and that’s where dilators come in. 💫

We often use them as part of a graded exposure approach: starting with gentle, safe touch, then slowly introducing comfortable pe*******on in a controlled, non-threatening way. Over time, this helps the pelvic floor relax, builds confidence, and teaches the body that pe*******on doesn’t have to hurt.

Dilators can be used alone or with a partner, and we often combine them with other strategies — like relaxation, breathwork, and pelvic floor therapy — to support comfort and confidence. 🍑

💦 Overactive Bladder: How We Treat It — and How You Can Take Back Control 💦

If you’re dealing with that sudden, urgent “need to go” (sometimes with leakage), treatment isn’t just what happens in the clinic — it’s also about giving you tools you can use every day to feel more in control.

Here are two ways we support clients with OAB:

✨ Urgency suppression strategies
We teach techniques to help your bladder turn down the volume on those strong urges — so you can walk, not run, to the toilet. A few examples:
👉 Perineal pressure – gently crossing your legs or sitting down to settle the urge.
👉 Pelvic floor activation – a gentle squeeze can send a “calm down” message to the bladder.
👉 Brain & body distractions – things like counting backwards, toe scrunches or calf pumps help redirect nerve signals and reduce urgency.

These often work within 30 seconds — giving you time and confidence back. 💪

⚡ TENS therapy
We may also use a small TENS device to gently stimulate nerves near the bladder. Used a few times a week, it can gradually reduce bladder sensitivity and improve control over time.

Together, these strategies empower you to manage OAB beyond the clinic — building confidence, reducing urgency, and putting you back in charge of your bladder. 🍑

Welcome to The Healthy Peach Physio

If you’ve every asked yourself, “Is this normal”, and been too afraid to broach the topic with your friends or even your GP that you’ve been seeing for 30 years and don’t feel comfortable talking to about your lady bits! Then this is the place for you.

Do I need a Women’s health physio?

· Do you leak urine, wind or stool when you cough, sneeze or at any other time? It can be a small, moderate or large amount; consistently or just occasionally; or maybe just during exercise!

· Do you have to run to the toilet urgently or frequently because you feel you will not make it in time? Do you leak when rushing to the toilet?

· Do you have pain with your bladder filling or emptying?

· Do you have a feeling of heaviness or dragging in your pelvis, va**na or a**s?

· Does it feel like you have "something down there" like a lump when you are washing yourself?

· Do you have decreased sensation with in*******se?

· Do you have pain with in*******se, inserting tampons or undergoing a doctor's pelvic exam?

· Have you had a baby? (like, ever. Not just recently) Whether you’ve delivered va**nally or through caesarean having a pelvic floor check can be a great way to ensure that everything is healing well and if you have any issues (whether symptomatic or not!) they can be managed early before becoming an issue

· Have you had, or are you having, pelvic surgery and want to prevent further or recurrent issues?

If you answered yes (or even maybe!) to any of these questions, then YES! These are not conditions that you need to live with, and Women’s Health Physiotherapy is the right place for you!
