💜 Curious about what happens at a pessary fitting at FitRight? 💜

At FitRight HQ in Applecross, our experienced team including Jess Vanson, Agner Hazewinkel, Zoe Mortemore and myself (Taryn) all provide va**nal pessary fittings.

Your journey starts with an initial assessment, where we do a thorough examination to see if a pessary is right for you, as it’s not suitable for everyone. We’ll also look at which type and size may suit your body, and give you all the information you need, including the benefits and considerations, so you can make an informed decision.

If you decide to go ahead, your fitting happens at a follow up appointment after clearance from your GP or gynaecologist. We may trial a few options to find the pessary that best supports your anatomy, prolapse type and symptom relief.

Think this could be right for you? 💜
Head to the link in our bio or call (08) 6444 7994 to book your initial assessment with one of our pelvic health physios.

When most people think of a dietitian, weight loss is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But that’s only a small part of the story.

We work with women through so many different seasons of life — from preconception and pregnancy to postpartum, perimenopause and menopause — times when things can feel like they’re constantly shifting.

And with those changes often comes frustration. Energy feels different. Symptoms show up. Body composition changes. And more often than not, there’s a lack of clear, practical guidance on what to actually do next.

Before our resident dietitian Maddi joined the team, what many of our clients were missing wasn’t more rules or restriction — it was personalised, evidence-based support that looks at the bigger picture, not just the number on the scale.

We asked Maddi to share some of the key reasons women might see a dietitian that have nothing to do with weight loss.

SWIPE to learn more - because you don’t just need a weight-related goal to benefit from seeing a dietitian. If you’re navigating gut issues, hormonal changes, low energy, or simply want clear, practical advice — Maddi is here to support you.

Want to book with Maddi? She consults in person at our Applecross clinic on Mondays and Tuesday afternoons.

💜Sharing some team successes at FitRight💜

Jess and I often pinch ourselves at how lucky we are to have our wonderful team of women's health practitioners! We just seem to have found the best pelvic health physios, musculoskeletal physios, women's health GP's and dietitian in Perth…! 🥳 So I thought I'd share with our online community some recent successes within our physio team:

💜One of our admin superstars Claire told me recently that a new patient who saw one of our principal physios Cat, came out of that consultation saying she'd never before felt so seen and heard 🥰

💜One of our senior physios Agner has travelled to a mine site twice recently to do some presentations to the staff on women's health and she got fantastic feedback about how she created and adapted the presentation to suit the cohort (if you work for an organisation that would benefit from having a pelvic health (women's health) physio present- DM us and we'll see what we can do!)

💜Another of our senior women's health physios Emma, has been asked back for the second year in a row to do a talk on pelvic health and perimenopause for a series presented by the Vic Park library (after fabulous feedback last year!)

💜Zoe, our newest physio, recently put her hand up to cover a number of our group exercise classes in her first couple of weeks and I was personally told by a participant how fantastic she was!

💜Clinical Lead Physio Jess V joined me for some Sunday weekend training last week - learning all about updated research on female s*xual dysfunction- thanks to Jess for giving up her Sunday evening to upskill with me!

I'm so proud that this is our physio team 🥰

💜 How is a Vaginal Prolapse Treated? 💜

If you’ve been diagnosed with a prolapse, it’s normal to feel unsure about what comes next. At FitRight HQ Applecross, we often explain that there are a few main management options:

Conservative Management – Lifestyle changes, pelvic floor muscle training, getting globally strong, and learning how to ‘pressure manage’ with breathing and core activation. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference especially with smaller prolapses.

Vaginal Pessary Management – A pessary is a device fitted into the va**na to support pr*****ed walls or the uterus. When combined with conservative management, it can relieve symptoms and help women feel more comfortable day-to-day.

Surgical Repair – Surgery can repair the va**nal walls or elevate/remove the uterus if needed.

💜 What to Expect from a Pessary Fitting:

Initial assessment to check if a pessary is suitable (it is not for everyone)
Choosing the best type and size for your anatomy and prolapse type
Education about pros, cons, and care so you can make an informed choice
Fitting at a follow-up appointment (sometimes trying multiple types to find the best fit)

At FitRight HQ, multiple team members fit va**nal pessaries, including me (Taryn Watson), Jess Vanson, Agner Hazewinkel, and Zoe Mortemore.

Why am I so excited about this and spreading education on pessaries and prolapse? 💜
It’s been almost a decade since I first learned pessary fitting. Back then, there were very few pelvic health physiotherapists in Perth (or even Australia!) who could do this. I started with ring and cube pessaries, and over the years, I’ve been lucky to learn from amazing colleagues like FitRight's Jess V, who fits many other types. Together, we make sure every woman has the best options and support for them.

I’ve also written blogs to explain more on this topic if you're interested (link in bio to have a read- or visit our FitRight website direct):

💜 What to Expect from Your Appointment with Maddi, Our Dietitian 💜

Maddi has been part of the team at FitRight Applecross HQ for a couple of weeks now and I excitedly booked an appointment with her myself… not because anything was wrong, but because I wanted to be proactive about my health as I head into my 40s! 🎉

So many questions I had in my head:
🤷🏻‍♀️ Am I getting anywhere near the dietary requirements for protein for my age?
🤷🏻‍♀️ Am I eating in a way that promotes optimal gut health?
🤷🏻‍♀️ Are there any changes I can make to my diet to minimise experiencing premenopausal symptoms in the future?

During my 50-minute appointment, Maddi really took the time to understand me — my medical history, bladder/bowel health, exercise habits, and most importantly, my goals. We went through my eating habits in detail, calculated how much protein and key nutrients I’m actually getting, and decided on some achievable changes for this week, with a plan for follow-up in 3 weeks.

She even sent me a super helpful summary afterwards, with practical tips and some delicious recipes to help me reach my goals — all while focusing on food first, and supplementation only if needed.

✨ My Nutritional Goals with Maddi:

💜Increase anti-inflammatory foods, especially oily fish
💜Support gut health as I approach perimenopause
💜Optimise protein for body composition and energy
💜Supplement only where diet can’t cover needs

While not everyone books a proactive consult like mine, Maddi also works with women managing endometriosis, chronic constipation, inflammatory disease, weight management, and eating disorders. I can’t stress enough how valuable it feels to have a dietitian supporting women, who has extra training in women's health and takes an evidence-based holistic approach.

💜 If you’re thinking about taking a proactive step for your health and overall wellbeing, Maddi’s here to help you make sustainable changes that really make a difference! 💜 Link in bio to book or direct link is here: https://fitrightwomenshealth.au/dietitian/

💜 Pelvy App Launch in Perth! 💜

Agner and I had such a great time connecting with Amelia, founder of .app, at the Perth launch recently (over yummy Guac and spicy Margs!)

FitRight is proud to be on the Pelvy App. Our team uses it every day and clients get free access to the app when they book a pelvic health physio (women's health) appointment at Applecross or West Perth. The app helps clients track exercises, tests, and advice all in one place, making follow-through/follow-up easier for us and them. We’re thrilled by the positive feedback from our clients already.

Plus - on Monday, Amelia was the presenter for our FitRight ProfessionalEd (professional development) session online. It was a fantastic evening connecting with women’s health professionals to learn about the evidence behind how we prescribe pelvic floor exercises, and how the Pelvy app can help. If you are a health professional and would like to access the replay, you can purchase it through the website 💜

I'm constantly reminded that working in the area of pelvic health is a privilege. I'm very aware that the information that patients share with me, and the topics that we talk about, might not have been disclosed to anyone else before.

At our Applecross HQ clinic, I've had women share with me fears and concerns about body image, how to give birth and whether or not to consider abdominal wall or pelvic floor surgery. I've also had women cry when discussing traumatic aspects of a previous birth, or when explaining to me how difficult they've found it to keep on top of their exercise program because of motherhood demands, or the demands of caring for elderly parents, or both.

One area of discussion that ALWAYS makes me realise how intimate our conversations are, is when we discuss s*x. Pelvic health (women's health) physios talk about it a lot! SWIPE to find out what we typically cover with our clients.

Farewell Renata 💜

Our wonderful FitRight physio Renata finished up last week to begin her maternity leave.

Renata has been with FitRight since the very first year of the clinic. When she joined the team she was a musculoskeletal physiotherapist who had just begun her journey into pelvic health. Over the years she has completed her Masters degree, trained with the University of South Australia to upskill in pessary fitting, and undertaken many other continuing education courses.

Throughout this time Renata has truly blossomed into a senior physiotherapist, and she is so well loved by our patients and team for her gentle and caring nature. She will be very missed around the clinic 💜

We wish her all the very best as she begins this exciting new chapter and goes on maternity leave to welcome her first baby. We cannot wait to meet her little one 💜👶💜

A couple of weekends ago, Cat and I (Taryn, co-owner of FitRight) attended an advanced pessary fitting course with the wonderful New Zealand- based pelvic health physiotherapist Dr Melissa Davidson 💜

Pessary fittings are an important part of the care we provide at FitRight Women’s Health. Pessaries can be a really effective, non surgical option to help manage symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and some types of urinary incontinence, helping many women stay active and comfortable in their daily lives.

Many people are surprised to learn that (some) pelvic health physiotherapists are trained to assess, fit and manage pessaries. With the right fitting and follow up care, they can be a safe and empowering option for many women 💜

At FitRight we are proud to have several physios trained in pessary fitting. Alongside myself (Taryn, co owner of FitRight), our Pelvic Health Physios Jess V, Cat, Zoe and Agner are able to provide pessary fittings.

Continuing education like this helps us make sure we are offering the best possible care and options for the women we support 💜
