29.1% of women who have a va**nal birth experience pelvic floor trauma – but that means 70.9% don’t sustain significant trauma. One way to give yourself the best chance of being in that 70.9% is to prepare your pelvic floor to lengthen and release, not just strengthen and learn about your individual risk factors

Research shows that around 1 in 5 women actually contract their pelvic floor instead of relaxing it when asked to ‘push’ during birth. This can make labour longer, increase the risk of an instrumental delivery and raise the risk of tearing.

This is why we recommend an assessment during pregnancy! We can help you:
• Learn how to relax and lengthen your pelvic floor for birth.
• Practise breathing and pushing techniques that reduce tension.
• Identify and correct any tendency to over‑tighten the pelvic floor.
• Prepare with mobility, perineal massage and tailored exercises in late pregnancy.

Birth is unpredictable, but evidence shows that preparing your body during pregnancy can improve labour outcomes and postpartum recovery! Click the link in our bio to learn more

Pelvic floor issues can show up in so many ways, leaking when you sneeze, heaviness or pressure in your pelvis, pain with s*x, constipation, or that sense that something just isn’t quite right.

At Peak Flo Physio in Coolangatta, we are experts in getting to the root of these issues and supporting you through all stages of life.

Our pelvic floor physiotherapists work closely with people during pregnancy and after birth, through peri- and post-menopause, following pelvic surgeries, and with anyone experiencing bladder, bowel, or prolapse symptoms. We also support men with pelvic pain, incontinence, post-prostate rehab, and s*xual health concerns.

It’s not just about doing pelvic floor squeezes, we assess your whole body, breathing patterns, daily habits, and muscle coordination to make sure we’re treating the real cause, not just the symptoms. Treatment might include internal assessment (if you’re comfortable), pelvic floor retraining, manual therapy, Pilates-based rehab, pessary fittings, or support with tools like pessaries, dilators or wands.

If you’re navigating changes in your pelvic health, know you’re not alone and there are evidence-based options that can make a real difference.

Faecal incontinence during pregnancy is more common than many realise affecting around 15–20% of women. While it’s often underreported due to embarrassment or stigma, it’s an important symptom to address early.

If you’re pregnant and experiencing:
💩 any loss of bowel control
💩 urgency
💩 wiping more than 3 times to get clean
💩 noticing skid marks in your un**es
💩 having difficulty holding in wind. then it’s worth checking in with a pelvic floor physio. These symptoms are never “just part of pregnancy” and can be managed with targeted treatment.

Early intervention matters. Book your pregnancy pelvic floor assessment today via the link in our bio or at www.peakflophysio.com.

Pain with s*x or tampon use is common but it’s not something you have to just put up with.

If you’re experiencing burning, tightness, stinging, sharp pain, or a feeling like something is “blocking” pe*******on, your pelvic floor might be involved. These symptoms are often linked to pelvic floor overactivity, tension, or muscle guarding especially after childbirth, injury, trauma, or even long-term use of tampons or menstrual cups.

At Peak Flo Physio, we can help by:
• Assessing your pelvic floor muscles to see if they’re holding tension
• Teaching you how to release, not just strengthen, these muscles
• Supporting you with gentle manual therapy, breathing techniques, and body awareness
• Using tools like dilators or wands to help retrain your pelvic floor and reduce sensitivity over time
• Educating you on positions, lubrication, and strategies that work with your body

You deserve to feel comfortable, safe, and confident in your body whether it’s for intimacy, using a tampon, or simply moving through life without discomfort.

We’re here to help. Book via the link in bio.

Early intervention matters when it comes to Diastasis Recti (DRAM).

Evidence shows that the first 12 weeks postpartum are a critical window for assessing and treating abdominal separation. This is when your body is naturally healing, and targeted rehab can make the biggest difference to:
• Restoring core function
• Preventing long-term abdominal weakness
• Reducing pelvic floor dysfunction and back pain
• Improving load transfer and overall strength

Current guidelines recommend early physiotherapy input to assess the depth, width, and function of the abdominal wall not just the “gap” to guide your recovery and return to movement safely.

At Peak Flo Physio, we assess your DRAM as part of your postnatal pelvic health check, and tailor a plan that includes hands-on therapy, education, and progressive core rehab.

The earlier we start, the better the outcomes.

Looking for a natural, drug-free way to manage labour pain? We offer TENS machine hire to support you through birth.

Obstetric TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) can help:
• Reduce the intensity of contractions
• Promote the release of endorphins (your body’s natural pain relief)
• Give you a greater sense of control during labour
• Delay or reduce the need for other pain relief options

We show you exactly how and when to use it as part of our Birth Preparation Appointments, where we also explore other pain management tools, pelvic floor strategies, and movement tips for labour.

Not a current client? No problem! our TENS hire is open to everyone, with pick-up available from the clinic.

To book a birth prep session or hire a TENS machine, head to the link in our bio or contact the clinic directly.

If you’re going through perimenopause or menopause, now is the time to get your pelvic floor checked.

Hormonal changes during this phase can lead to a drop in oestrogen, which affects the strength, elasticity, and function of the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues. Even if you’ve never had pelvic floor issues before, things can shift and prevention is always better than treatment.

Common symptoms during this stage include:
• Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or exercise
• Increased urgency or frequency to wee
• Vaginal dryness or discomfort during s*x
• A heavy or dragging feeling in the va**na
• Constipation or straining to poo
• Changes in posture, balance, and core control

A pelvic floor assessment with a physiotherapist can help you:
• Understand what’s actually going on
• Learn how to properly engage (and relax) your pelvic floor
• Prevent or manage prolapse and incontinence
• Support your core, spine, and bladder for years to come

You don’t need to just “put up” with these changes there is so much we can do.
