Have you ever gone about your day and felt uneasy being out alone?

We are exploring how women experience safety in everyday life and what could help us feel more supported in the spaces we move through.

Many of us have had those small moments of checking over our shoulder, choosing a busier path or letting someone know when we will be home. This short survey is a chance to share your experiences and ideas so we can shape something that makes a meaningful difference for women everywhere.

It only takes a couple of minutes and your perspective really matters.

Type the work ‘LINK’ and I will send you the survey to complete.

We are gathering responses from women across our communities, so please share this post with your friends. Every voice counts.

PSA - breathe, connect, engage, relax, move on 🫶

Your pelvic floor, prolapse and bladder symptoms aren’t always about weakness, sometimes it tense, sometimes it doesn’t coordinate well with your breath or movement, sometimes you may be disconnected from your body and pelvis for many reasons and it quietly asks for attention until it screams to be heard.

Start by connecting to your body, your breath and your way of moving through the world.

And always ALWAYS use a squatty potty to go to the bathroom 🚽

💦 she’s a long one, but please read through the slides if you have an overactive bladder or can’t unlock your door when you get home without wet yourself or the sound of running water makes you anxious 💦

Key points 👇

🌼 overactive bladder (OAB) and stress or urge incontinence can be managed in many different ways and often it’s a combination of several things
🌼 kegels are not the holy grail of pelvic floor health
🌼 you can have a TIGHT & WEAK PELVIC FLOOR AT THE SAME TIME, just like any other muscle
🌼 nail your toilet habits, sort your constipation out
🌼 breathe
🌼 stop sucking your tummy in
🌼 had a kid? Get your pelvic floor checked, it doesn’t matter how long ago or if it was a C-section
🌼 remember that sprained ankle playing netball? Or the time you fell and landed straight on your bum? Well that can be contributing to your symptoms!!!
🌼 you need the whole body to be strong yet mobile and supple
🌼 learn to manage pressure from above (cough, sneeze) and below (walking, running)
🌼 support your nervous system
🌼 1/3 of women experience incontinence - it’s common but not normal. Let break the taboo and start getting it sorted.

Honourable mention to posterior tibial nerve stimulation for conservative therapies which I forgot to put in there.

Seek help 🙏

A weekend well spent ✨

Module 3 of 4 for pelvic release work mentoring. Some incredible gems picked up that I’m so excited to incorporate into clinic.

So many beautiful gentle techniques for pregnancy, birth prep, postpartum, pelvic pain and anyone with a pelvis.

Incredible learning from these wise women 🫶

Before and after c-section scar treatment ➡️ swipe to see the results!

✨ This is 3 treatments spaced over 5 weeks at 9 months postpartum. ✨

This c-section scar was red, angry, painful, pulling, itchy, causing abdominal pain and contributing to pelvic floor issues.

When scars heal poorly they can cause adhesions and restrict the movement of all the other surrounding connective tissue and the 7 layers that are cut through to bring baby out into the world- the skin, fat, fascia, muscles, peritoneum and uterus and the amniotic sac itself.

If there’s poor wound healing many patients will suffer scar pain, myofascial pain, pain deep in the belly, a restricted uterus and other pelvic organs (yes your organs are designed to be able to move and glide, they are not rigid structures) and this can also cause a change in our breathing and pelvic floor mechanics.

Never underestimate the power of good scar healing and treatment and it’s never too late to start!

Treatment often involves myofascial release, osteopathic visceral release, skin rolling, cupping and even breath work, amongst other things.

Stage 3 return to running 🏃‍♀️

Before getting out there can you actively do:

🌼 10 second single leg balance - hot tip do this whilst brushing your teeth. 2 birds one stone.
🌼 10x single leg squats, can modify this to squat to a chair
🌼 60 second jogging on the spot
🌼 10x forward bounds
🌼10 x single leg hops
🌼 10 x running man’s on each leg - no this is not the dance move but a single leg RDL
🌼 walk for the 30 minutes non stop and without any pelvic symptoms.

Some of these things may be a walk in the park, others may take a long time to master, but all will be an ongoing part of your postpartum and running journey and you may find one day you’ll nail it and the next you’ll be wobbly. It’s okay. Take your time, be kind to yourself and it will come.

Don’t rush this stage of postpartum return to running

Stage 2 return to running postpartum. 🏃‍♀️

So you’ve ticked the boxes of stage 1 (see 2 posts back) and you’ve been cleared to start getting your body ready to run!

Now it’s time to work on some pelvic floor endurance.
What does that mean?

You can appropriately CONTRACT, RELAX & COORDINATE your pelvic floor and your breathing. But perhaps it’s not has strong or have as much endurance as required for running.

Now it’s time to start aiming for:

🌼 10 fast pelvic floor contractions
🌼 10-12 reps of an 8 second hold
🌼 60 second sub maximal pelvic floor contraction

You most likely won’t be starting here, it’s a work in progress and a test of your endurance. But an important step not to miss otherwise your pelvic floor will fatigue and running will not be your friend.

Just as important to holding a pelvic floor contraction is doing it with your breath and also being able to RELAX. If you’re unable to coordinate your breath and relaxation perhaps it’s time to take a step back and see your pelvic health osteopath again.

05/11/2024

When returning to running postpartum you want to ensure you have ticked off the initial checklist (see slide 2) and are having regular treatment with your pelvic health osteo or physio as a bare minimum prior to going for your first run.

There are important steps to follow which include a strength program and of course being under the care of your pelvic trained health professionals.

Whilst running or gym is the goal here, ultimately we want to protect our pelvic floor and prevent any injuries and maintain a happy healthy pelvic floor throughout life, subsequent pregnancies, births or be able to sit through a comedy show or survive the next coughing fit when out in public.

Unfortunately it’s not a linear process, but it’s a rewarding one. Stay tuned for the next steps involved.

Last weekend Sarah and I taught our second round of 'The Endo Enigma' course to Osteopaths and Pelvic Health Physiotherapists at Southern Cross University on the Gold Coast.

It was a wonderful day sharing knowledge about endometriosis, drivers, treatment, nutrition and how Osteopathy can improve a patient's quality of life, health outcomes and decrease pain.

We take a whole person approach to endometriosis including abdominal visceral mobility, lymphatic drainage, pelvic floor, breathing mechanics and self management strategies.

What's even more exciting is the following study that has been recently published from the Faculty of Physiotherapy at the University of Valencia. Whilst the study utilised Pelvic Health Physiotherapists, the techniques used were Osteopathic techniques, some of which we teach in our course. As always with this area of study, it had small participant numbers but very promising outcomes. I look forward to seeing further research in this field in the future and utilising both Osteopathy and Physiotherapy to share knowledge and skillsets.
