The Pelvic Hot Seat 🔥

This week’s question:
How do I know if my pelvic floor is overactive?

It can be tricky because an overactive pelvic floor can look a lot like a weaker one.

But some common signs can include:
• Pain (including with s*x)
• Difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels
• Constipation
• A feeling of heaviness or tension
• Even leakage with coughing or sneezing

Sometimes it’s less about needing to strengthen
and more about learning how to relax.

This week’s question:
What’s the difference between pelvic floor strength vs control?

Strength is how much power your pelvic floor can generate.

Control is how well it can time, coordinate, and respond when you need it.

Because it’s not just about squeezing,
it’s about switching on at the right time, switching off, and working with the rest of your body.

You can be strong but still struggle with control.

💬 Did you know there was a difference?

A quick pelvic health check-in 👀

Are you:
🚫 Doing “just in case” wees
😬 Holding tension in your belly, glutes or jaw
🚽 Hovering or straining on the toilet

If yes… this one’s for you.

Save this as your daily reminder to unclench, trust your body, and breathe 🤍

We’ve all heard it…

“Sit up straight.”
“Pull your shoulders back.”
“Tuck your pelvis.”

But here’s the thing! Your pelvic floor isn’t asking for perfect posture.

It’s asking for:
✔️ movement
✔️ breath
✔️ less gripping, not more

Because holding yourself stiff all day?
That can sometimes create more pressure and tension than support.

And on the flip side collapsing into the couch 24/7 isn’t doing it any favours either.

It’s not about getting it “right” all the time.
It’s about giving your body options.

If you’re dealing with leaking, heaviness, or just feel like something’s not quite right, this could be a piece of the puzzle.

We’re here to help you make sense of it 💛

This week’s question - What are some common misconceptions about endometriosis?

One of the biggest myths? That endometriosis always comes with pain, or that the amount of endo tissue matches the level of pain.

In reality, some people with very little endometriosis can experience widespread symptoms, while others with more tissue may have only mild signs, like bladder or bowel changes, or even fertility issues.

And remember, periods shouldn’t stop you from living your life. Mild cramping is normal, but pain that interferes with work, school, or daily activities isn’t.

💬 Have you come across any myths about endometriosis?

Can physiotherapy help with endometriosis? Yes!

When you’re in pain, your muscles often hold on tight! Think, Pelvic floor, core, glutes, back. Working with a physio can help you understand what’s happening, explore strategies to ease tension, and support your body so you can move more comfortably.

It’s also about finding what works for your body, building a toolkit for flare-ups, and enjoying movement on the good days.

💬 Have you tried physio for endo?

This week’s question:
Is it safe to exercise with endometriosis?

Short answer… YES 🙌🏼 absolutely.

Movement can actually help with pain management by calming the body’s pain response. The tricky part is finding the type and intensity of exercise that works for your body and doesn’t flare symptoms afterwards.

For some people that might look like walking, yoga or gentle movement. For others it might be higher intensity exercise.

It’s less about the “perfect” exercise and more about finding the right balance for you.

Your diaphragm and pelvic floor move together with every breath.

When you inhale, the pelvic floor gently lengthens and softens.

When you exhale, it recoils and lifts.

Practising slow, relaxed breathing can help:

🌸 reduce pelvic floor tension
🌸 calm the nervous system
🌸 improve body awareness and connection

This week’s Pelvic Hot Seat is all about endometriosis 👇

Can endometriosis affect the pelvic floor?

Short answer...Absolutely!

Like any chronic pain condition, endometriosis can cause the pelvic floor muscles to become protective. They tighten and grip and sometimes they forget how to fully relax.

But we need our pelvic floor to do both:
✔ Contract when we need support
✔ Relax fully for bladder, bowel and s*xual function

When it stays tense, that can contribute to:
• Ongoing pelvic pain
• Constipation or incomplete emptying
• Bladder discomfort
• Pain with in*******se
• That deep ache through the hips or lower back

Your pelvic floor isn’t always the whole reason for pain in endometriosis; however, it can be a piece of the puzzle.

And that’s what we work on with pelvic health physio.
Gently address that layer so your body doesn’t always have to stay in protection mode.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it 💛

This week we asked: Can pelvic floor issues cause back or hip pain?

And the answer is absolutely!

Sometimes people come to us after seeing multiple physicians for their back or hips, and nothing’s really worked. Often the pelvic floor is the missing piece.

Tension or dysfunction in your pelvic floor can refer pain to your low back, hips, down your legs, or even across your lower tummy, kind of like how tight shoulders can give you a headache.

If you’ve been dealing with persistent back or hip pain, don’t just push through it, your pelvic floor might be worth a check-in.
