🌸 Let’s Talk About Vaginal Pessaries 🌸 
Did you know a va**nal pessary can be a safe, non-surgical option for pelvic organ prolapse?

A pessary is a small, soft device inserted into the va**na to help support the bladder, uterus, or re**um when these organs begin to shift out of place, often due to childbirth, ageing or heavy lifting over time. Think of a pessary as your ‘brace’ or ‘sports bra’ for your pelvic organs!

✨ Benefits of a pessary: ✔️ Non-invasive ✔️ Can relieve pressure, discomfort, and urinary issues
✔️ Can be self-managed  ✔️ Safe for long-term use with proper care ✔️ Ideal for those who wish to avoid or delay surgery

It’s fitted by a healthcare professional (generally a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist or Specialist e.g. Gynaecologist or Urogynaecologist) and customised for comfort and support. Many women find it life-changing! 💪💕

If you’re experiencing symptoms like pressure, bulging or leaking, talk to your doctor. You’re not alone and you have options. 💬

🌟You Can Keep Moving During Pregnancy🌟
Here’s how to modify with confidence!🤰🏼💪

Pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising, it just means moving smarter. With the right modifications, staying active is not only safe, but incredibly beneficial for both you and baby💛

Top Exercise Modification Tips for Pregnancy:

🔸 Listen to your body Your energy, balance and comfort may change day to day and that’s okay! Take breaks, hydrate and don’t push through pain or dizziness.

🔸 Ditch the “No Pain, No Gain” mentality Exercise should leave you feeling energised, not depleted. Modify intensity based on how you feel, not how you used to perform.

🔸 Core awareness is key Continue core exercises to maintain your abdominal strength to support your changing abdomen and prevent diastasis recti.

🔸 Focus on posture & pelvic floor Engage your pelvic floor (like gentle pelvic floor exercises) and keep your spine neutral, especially during lifting (e.g your toddler) or strength work.

🔸 Modify high-impact or supine exercises After the first trimester, avoid prolonged lying on your back and consider low-impact alternatives to jumping or sprinting. Always listen to your body!

🔸 Use props & supports Chairs, resistance bands, blocks or walls can be your best workout buddies right now!

👟Remember: Movement is about feeling strong, capable, and connected. Pregnancy is about maintaining movement not hitting personal bests.

Growing a human and staying active can be challenging. Do what feels right for you🔥💖

🩷Your Round Ligament extends from the lateral (side) of your uterus to your l***a majora. Its main role is to support your growing uterus in pregnancy and help hold your uterus in a centered position🩷

Your Round Ligament can stretch/spasm in response to sudden movements or change in direction during pregnancy.

My top self management tips if you are suffering from Round Ligament Pain:
✔️Move slowly
✔️Do 5-10 posterior pelvic tilts (rock your pelvis backwards so you draw your p***c bone up towards your belly button)
✔️Brace your abdominal muscles during movement
✔️Wear abdominal support such as Tubigrip (link in our BIO to purchase)

If you are experiencing any pain/discomfort around your pelvis during pregnancy you may benefit from an individualised assessment and treatment plan ❤️

All too often a culprit of back pain is the way we spend 8 hours sitting at our work desk 👩‍💻⚠️

Here are our top 4 tips for you to consider about your work set-up!

⭐️⭐️ Supportive chair ⭐️⭐️
Ideally, a chair should be adjustable in three ways (especially if you are hot desking): up/down height adjustment, forward/back tilt of back rest, and if possible, forward/back tilt of seat. This helps you customise for your comfort and support.

⭐️⭐️ Desk and chair height ⭐️⭐️
A good set up should see you be able to rest your feet flat on the floor and your hands resting comfortably on your keyboard without needing to shrug your shoulders up towards your ears (this is a sign the desk is too high/chair is too low for you).

⭐️⭐️ Screen position ⭐️⭐️
Inan ideal world, working off a monitor is always my recommendation. However, using a laptop riser will achieve the same goal, which is to avoid looking down at your screen (which loads your neck up more). Also consider how far away your screen is. Ideally it is no more than an arm’s length away from you if working on a smaller screen, and the top of your screen is at about eye level.

⭐️⭐️ Regular movement ⭐️⭐️
At the end of the day, you can have a perfect set up and still pull up sore. That’s because our bodies love movement and are not made to sit in one position for a whole work day. I frequently recommend to clients to use the pomodoro method (25min of hard work, 5min of complete break). This is a recognised strategy for optimising productivity but it also means you are having movement snacks throughout the day. Take a little walk up and down your street, do a short yoga flow or one-song dance party. Anything that breaks up what your body has had to sustain while your attention is on work will help you massively by the end of the day.

If back or neck pain is an issue for you, we’d encourage you to come in and chat to one of us. Beyond desk set up, there are so many things that can help - exercise, manual therapy, lifestyle modifications and more 👏🏼☺️ Your body + health is always worth investing in.

Hypermobility and Pelvic Floor Function in Dancers 🩰

🪩 Hypermobility can make your joints flexible but unstable 🪩
That extra range of motion means your joints need more muscular support to stay safe during dance.

🪩 Flexible joints need strong muscles for support.
Strong muscles around those flexible joints are essential to prevent injuries like sprains or dislocations.

🪩 The pelvic floor plays a key role in dance stability and a tight pelvic floor isn’t always a strong one 🪩
The pelvic floor is a key player in dance stability, working with your core and hips to support movement. But a tight pelvic floor doesn’t always mean it’s strong—it needs to contract and relax properly.

🪩 High-impact dance can lead to pelvic floor issues like leakage 🪩
High-impact moves like jumps and landings can strain the pelvic floor, sometimes causing issues like leakage or discomfort.

If you experience any pelvic symptoms or joint instability, consider consulting a Physiotherapist with expertise in dance and hypermobility for personalised care.
