You wouldn’t tear your ACL and be sent home with no rehab.

So why is it still normal for women to give birth and be told, “Just rest,” or “You’re all good at 6 weeks”?

Pregnancy and birth—va**nal or caesarean—are some of the most physically demanding events your body will ever go through. They impact your pelvic floor, abdominal wall, bladder, bowel, scars, posture, hormones, sleep, and mental health.

Postpartum recovery deserves so much more than a six-week tick-box check.

Our postpartum check-ups include a full pelvic floor exam, abdominal wall and diastasis assessment, bladder and bowel screening, prolapse check, scar healing support (C-section and perineal), guidance for pain or discomfort with s*x, and a personalised plan for returning to movement, lifting, and exercise safely.

Healing vaginismus often requires a multifactorial approach. Here are some strategies that can help:
1. Dilators: These can be effective in stretching and lengthening the superficial pelvic floor muscles, which are often tight and contracted in individuals with vaginismus.
2. Working with a Qualified Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist: A specialist can guide you on how to use these devices or recommend alternative approaches if dilators are not suitable for you.
3. Biofeedback: This helps you learn how to relax and lengthen the pelvic floor, while also becoming aware of any tension.
4. Breathwork and Mobility: Ensuring that the muscles around your pelvis, lower back, and hips can relax and lengthen can contribute to pelvic floor relaxation. Learning to breathe into your pelvic floor can also be highly beneficial.

Lichen sclerosus is something we see much more often than most people realise – and many are living with it without a diagnosis. While it’s most commonly diagnosed after menopause, young people can also experience it. Sadly, it’s often misdiagnosed as thrush, recurrent UTIs, or just “sensitive skin,” leading to years of discomfort without answers.

Typical symptoms include ongoing vulval itching, burning, tearing with intimacy, pain when wiping, or visible changes to the skin such as whitening, thinning, or scarring.

Once diagnosed, management usually involves topical creams prescribed by your doctor and often Pelvic floor physiotherapy plays an important role too. We can help with:
🌸 Soft tissue release and scar management when the skin has become tight or painful
🌸 Strategies for easing painful s*x and restoring confidence with intimacy
🌸 Teaching relaxation techniques to reduce pelvic floor overactivity (which is common when living with chronic pain)
🌸 Guidance on dilators or wands if needed, to maintain comfort and function
🌸 Support with bladder and bowel symptoms that sometimes develop alongside LS

If you’ve been treated for thrush multiple times with no improvement, or are still searching for answers for persistent vulval symptoms, it’s worth asking the question and seeking guidance from your GP, gynaecologist and pelvic floor physio!

Ignoring the urge to poo (when you’re busy, out at the shops, or holding on until later) can actually create constipation.

Your urge window is the moment your body is perfectly coordinated to empty your bowels. When you miss it:
💩 Stool gets drier + harder
💩 Sensation reduces
💩 Straining increases
💩 Constipation becomes a cycle

If you are needing to get the urge back or make it stronger try the above ⬆️!!

When you do go 💩 if you aren’t using a toilet stool already you should be, and here’s why:
💩 Opens the bowel angle
💩 Relaxes the pelvic floor
💩 Reduces straining
💩 Makes emptying easier

If you’re still having trouble you could come see our team if you have any of the following:
💩 Incomplete emptying
💩 Straining
💩 Chronic constipation
💩 Bloating/pressure
💩 False urges
💩 Lost urge sensation
💩 Incontinence, excessive wiping or difficulty holding in wind

Pessaries are one of the most underrated tools we use in pelvic health.

They can be a total game changer for symptoms like heaviness, leaking or that uncomfortable dragging feeling you might get with prolapse.

They’re soft silicone devices that sit inside the va**na and give the pelvic organs a bit of extra support. For some people, they’re a short-term support while we work on strength and function. For others, they become part of long-term symptom management.

There’s no one-size-fits-all, so we spend time testing different shapes and sizes to find one that feels right for you — whether your goal is walking the dog, chasing your kids or getting back to running.

If you’ve been told you have a prolapse or just feel like something isn’t quite right down there, a pessary might be worth exploring. You don’t have to live with these symptoms.

Chat to one of our pelvic floor physios to see if a pessary could help. Link in bio.
