Let’s talk about p**p. Yes, really! 💬
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because your bowel matters!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Constipation isn’t just uncomfortable—it can affect your bladder and pelvic floor too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tips for healthy p**ps:
✅ Feet above hips, lean forward, relax your core.
✅ Check your stool type & drink enough water.
✅ Respond to the first urge – your bowels work best then.
✅ Keep pelvic floor muscles relaxed.
✅ Wipe gently, front to back.

Struggling with bowel issues? Our pelvic health physios are here to guide you.

Labour support that keeps you moving 🤰✨

An Obstetric TENS machine can be a simple and effective way to manage pain during labour.

TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) works by sending gentle electrical pulses through the skin to help reduce the pain signals from uterine contractions. This can make it easier to stay focused on your breathing, positioning and movement during labour.

Why many women choose TENS in labour:
▫️ Drug-free pain relief
▫️ You stay in control of your pain management
▫️ You can continue to move and change positions
▫️ Safe for both you and your baby
▫️ Can be used at home during early labour

At Body Align Physio, we offer Obstetric TENS hire and one of our physiotherapists will show you exactly how to use it for labour so you feel confident when the time comes.

Know the Signs of Mastitis – Acting Early Makes All the Difference 🤱💜

Breastfeeding is beautiful, but it can also be challenging—especially when pain, engorgement, or blocked ducts appear. Mastitis is common, especially in the first weeks postpartum, or when feeding patterns change (like returning to work or skipped feeds).

💡 Early recognition matters:
Red, hot, or tender areas on the breast
Sudden onset of flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, fatigue)
Pain or tightness in the breast
Changes in milk supply

Acting early can prevent mastitis from worsening and help you recover faster.

We’re here to support you with:
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Lymphatic Drainage & Massage Techniques
Practical education and guidance
Referrals to trusted lactation consultants

We consider mastitis an urgent appointment and will try to see you as soon as possible.

💜 Mums, you don’t have to struggle in silence. Early help makes all the difference.

Up to 1 in 10 women experience v***ar pain — but most are told “everything looks normal.” Here’s why that doesn’t mean it’s not real. 💛

Vulvodynia is persistent pain or discomfort of the v***a with no obvious cause, and it can show up as:
▫️ Burning or stinging
▫️ Irritation or sharp pain
▫️ Discomfort during sitting, exercise, intimacy, or tampon use

Because there’s often no visible injury, it’s easy to feel frustrated or dismissed — but the pain is real and treatable.

Factors that can contribute include:
▫️ Pelvic floor muscle tension
▫️ Nerve sensitivity
▫️ Hormonal changes
▫️ Inflammation
▫️ How the nervous system processes pain

At Body Align Physio, our pelvic health physiotherapists take a whole-person approach, helping to:
✨ Calm the nervous system
✨ Reduce muscle tension
✨ Support pelvic floor function
✨ Gradually return to activities that matter to you

You don’t have to manage v***ar pain alone. Support is here. 💛

✨ Preparing for birth? We’ve got you.

The course was created by a team of Pelvic Health Physiotherapists working closely with Midwives, Obstetricians and Doulas — all with one shared goal: helping you to achieve the best birth for you.

As physios, we understand that birth is both a physical and mental endurance event — and preparation is key. 💪🧠

Born Ready is grounded in factual, evidence-based information designed to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your birth. The more you understand your options, the more supported and in control you can feel.

We deeply respect that every birth journey is different. Whether you’re planning a home birth, birth centre experience or elective caesarean, we provide the tools to help you feel prepared.

And because birth can sometimes take unexpected turns, our goal is to equip you with a strong understanding of labour and birth — so you can feel more confident, adaptable and supported if plans change.

🚨 Next Born Ready Workshop:
📍
📅 Friday March 27th
⏰ 4:00pm
⚠️ Only 2 spaces left!

Secure your spot and step into birth feeling informed, prepared and empowered. 🤍
