🌄 Grand Cliff Top Race – What a Way to Spend a Sunday! 🏃‍♀️

On Sunday, Eileen spent her morning completing her inaugural trail run race with her husband — the Grand Cliff Top Race from Wentworth Falls to Scenic World, covering 18.3km.

It was a very cold start to the day, 6 degrees which felt more like 3 degrees, with 28km/hour winds during the event.

The scenery was absolutely spectacular, with many stairs, waterfalls, hills and beautiful birdlife along the way.

If you would like to do the Grand Cliff Top Walk, it can be broken down into smaller sections. It was a great introduction to trail running events, and Eileen will definitely be signing up for more in the future.

Understanding the pain of endometriosis 💛💛

There are two parts to pain:
• the cause, such as endometriosis
• the brain’s response to the pain.

Treating endometriosis with surgery or medicine may relieve symptoms. However, if the pain continues this does not mean that the endometriosis has come back – it could be the way the brain is processing the pain.

Pelvic Health Physiotherapists can provide a thorough assessment of your pain symptoms and develop an individualised “toolbox” for you to manage and improve your pain.

To explore your options further please do not hesitate to contact Complete Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

You don’t have to manage this alone — support is an important part of your treatment team.

💜 Supporting the 2026 Share the Dignity – March Dignity Drive 💜

At Share the Dignity, a simple donation can restore dignity and comfort to someone doing it tough. For many women and girls experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, or financial hardship, access to basic period products is not guaranteed. Period poverty is a real issue across Australia, affecting the ability to attend school, go to work, and participate fully in everyday life.

Throughout March, you can help by supporting the March Dignity Drive. Donation collection points are located at Woolworths supermarkets and selected businesses nationwide. You can also make a tax-deductible donation online if you’re unable to donate in person.

With the rising cost of living and uncertainty around the world, charities like Share the Dignity need community support more than ever. If you’re doing your grocery shop this week, consider adding a pack of reusable period underwear or period products to your trolley and donating it.

Every donation helps ensure no one has to face the indignity of going without. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

🙏 If you have already donated — thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Transgender and gender diverse experiences of endometriosis 💛💛

Transgender and gender diverse people assigned female at birth experience gynaecological conditions, such as chronic pelvic pain at elevated rates, estimated to be between 51% and 72%, compared to 26.6% in cisgender women (Jeffrey et al, 2024).

Chronic pelvic pain can be caused by many conditions, including endometriosis. Often diagnosis of endometriosis can be a 2.5 to 8 year journey. For transgender and gender diverse people this can be even longer.

Trans and gender diverse people can access gender-affirming healthcare at Complete Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy. We create a respectful and safe clinical environment, and use correct names, pronouns and other preferred language.

For an appointment please contact Complete Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy.

💙 Urinary Incontinence After Surgery — You’re Not Alone 💙
February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Many women experience urinary incontinence following surgery, and it can feel especially overwhelming when you’re also coping with ovarian cancer and its treatment. Leakage or urgency can affect confidence, independence, and even simple outings — but there are ways to manage it, and help is available.

Day-to-day life with urinary (or bowel) incontinence can be challenging. Many women describe feeling frustrated, anxious, or fearful about leaving home. With the right support and a little planning, incontinence does not have to stop you from living a full and active life.

Simple strategies can help, such as:
• Establishing a routine
• Planning outings in advance
• Knowing where toilets are along your route
• Carrying enough continence products when you’re out

If you’re experiencing urinary incontinence, it’s important to speak with your GP for advice and support. You can also ask for a referral to Complete Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy, where Pelvic Health Physiotherapists provide targeted assessment and treatment to help improve bladder control, rebuild confidence, and support recovery after surgery.

You don’t have to manage this alone — support is an important part of your treatment team.

💙 Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month – Bowel & Bladder Issues 💙
February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Ovarian cancer treatment can save lives — but it can also leave women dealing with unexpected and ongoing side effects, particularly changes to bowel and bladder function.

Constipation, diarrhoea, urgency, leakage, or difficulty emptying the bladder are common during and after treatment. These symptoms can be distressing, isolating, and often feel hard to talk about — but they are not something you have to just live with.

At Complete Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy, we work alongside your medical team to support pelvic health recovery after ovarian cancer treatment. Pelvic Health Physiotherapy can play an important role in managing bowel and bladder changes, improving comfort, confidence and quality of life.

If you or someone you love is navigating life during or after ovarian cancer treatment, we have available an article that may help. ( see link below)

💙 Ovarian Cancer: Know the Signs & Trust Your Body 💙
February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

Ovarian cancer symptoms can be subtle and easy to dismiss. While many symptoms can be caused by less serious conditions, persistent or worsening changes should always be checked by your GP. Early detection can make a significant difference to treatment outcomes.

Common symptoms may include:
• Persistent bloating or increased abdominal size
• Abdominal or pelvic pain
• Feeling full quickly or loss of appetite
• Urinary urgency or frequency
• Unexplained fatigue or weight changes
• Changes in bowel habits

You know your body better than anyone else — if something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and seek further advice or a second opinion if needed.

During and after ovarian cancer treatment, many women experience bladder and bowel changes. Support from a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist can play an important role in managing these symptoms and improving comfort and quality of life.

💛 Planning Your Next Birth After an OASI 💛
January is OASIs Awareness Month

After an Obstetric A**l Sphincter Injury (OASI), many women are left feeling unsure about what their next birth should look like. It’s very common to receive conflicting advice about whether to plan another vaginal birth or consider a caesarean, which can make decisions feel stressful and overwhelming.

What’s important to know is that every body and every recovery is different. An assessment of your pelvic floor muscles can provide helpful information about how well things have healed and what may be safest for you moving forward.

Our experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapists can assess pelvic floor function and talk through what this may mean for future pregnancies and birth choices, helping you feel more informed and supported in your decision-making. 💛

If you’ve had an OASI and are thinking about another baby — or simply want clarity about your recovery — you don’t have to work it out on your own.
