You know the drill—a little leak when you laugh at a joke, sneeze unexpectedly, or try to crush a workout. We’ve been told it’s just a "part of motherhood" or "getting older," but here’s the truth:

Just because it’s common doesn't mean it has to be your "normal."

Why It Happens
Stress incontinence occurs when physical movement or activity puts pressure (stress) on your bladder and the urethra fails to remain closed under this pressure. This is usually as a result of pelvic floor weakness.

The Good News
You don't have to just "deal with it" or rely on pads forever. Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles, and like any other muscle, it can be trained and strengthened.

Let's stop confusing 'frequent' with 'fine'.

Happy IWD to all the incredible women and girls in my life!

Every day I'm reminded of the strength and resilience us women have AND also reminded of the importance of highlighting our vulnerability and need for support.

Here's to prioritising ourselves in one way or another this year and recognising that taking care of ourselves isn't selfish - it's essential! Something, I personally am striving to practice what I preach this year.

Cheers to us ladies! 💕

Meet Olivia! 🌟

We have a new friendly face joining the Female First team!

Introducing our new series: Common but Not Normal.

A series where we talk about what most people whisper about and learn what IS normal and therefore what is abnormal when it comes to all things Women's & Pelvic Health.

It's time we stop normalising issues that commonly affect women's lives and offer support and a safe space and demand better for our bodies and lives.

Did you know, second to referrals from GP's and Specialists, word of mouth recommendations are my largest source of new clients?

As many of my clients work with me for a short period of time, there is a constant need to welcome new clients into the clinic.

Your trust, confidence and willingness to share your experience plays a huge part in helping me sustain and grow my business.

A very big heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who has shared my name over the years.

Following a year of grounding in our new clinic space in 2025, I'm excited to see what 2026 has in store.

Few little updates from the clinic;

- A slight tweak in opening hours to create more consistency for clients and myself.

- A sad farewell to our beautiful Whittlesea space allowing more time, energy and availability to be poured into our main hub in Kilmore

- Move with Shea is back!
Some exciting changes are in the planning phase but for now Term 1 kicks off in only a few weeks. Please get in touch if you're interested. Limited spots available!

- Cancellation Policy: with the months booking up quickly and our waitlist growing longer we appreciate you cancelling or rescheduling your appointments with as much notice as possible.

Look forward to working with many of you over the next year.

Introducing our new service 'Perineal Massage' at Female First Physiotherapy.

The research supporting perineal massage during late stages of pregnancy is strong!

Research identified perineal massage;
- Reduces the likelihood and severity of tearing
- Reduces the likelihood of an episiotomy
- Improves perineal pain postpartum

Currently perineal massage is incorporated into our birth preparation appointments and you're provided with clear guidance on how to perform the safe and gentle technique.

However, the most common hurdle to completing perineal massage is accessing the area and/or having a willing/available partner to do it for you. So rather than go without, we are here to help!

Bookings can be made online (existing clients only) or via 0493 075 709.

If you'd like to learn more or have any questions please contact Shea on 0493075709 or via admin@femalefirstphysiotherapy.com.au
