Brought to you by mum of 2, Kayla And so, Evolving Bellies was born.

What if I told you that I could make the daunting experience of motherhood a little easier? Let’s prepare your body for pregnancy and the postnatal period. Telehealth, face-to-face, in-home Physiotherapy and (coming soon) online courses to improve your pelvic health and provide you with tools to continue moving safely and pain free through your motherhood journey. I’m Kayla Morosin - Physiotherapist and Passionate Women’s Health advocate. With over 10 years of Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates experience, I’m a proud part-owner of a multidisciplinary allied health clinic in the Illawarra. After the birth of my two beautiful babies, I became acutely aware of the gap in perinatal care for women and their changing bodies.

Just enrolled in Level 2 Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapy 🤓

Continued professional development is an essential part of remaining registered as a physiotherapist so I’m choosing to further my education in my field of choice - Women’s Health.

After this course, I’ll have an even deeper knowledge about things such as pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic floor/urinary/anorectal/s*xual dysfunction, and advanced assessment and interventions for all of the above 🥳

Not everyone’s cup of tea, I get it, but all of this information will help me to help you during all of your life stages.

About a month ago a lovely lady - Barbara Thompson - from the asked me to be a guest!

I was so honoured and excited to share my knowledge and experience with her audience and I hope you all get a chance to have a listen.

Topics we discussed:
- the importance of shifting the focus from the newborn to the mother
- changes our bodies undergo during and after pregnancy
- the outdated concept of “bouncing back” and the importance of education so that you can feel more yourself again after having a baby
- eliminating the stigma around bladder leakage
- s*x after childbirth
- signs of a tight pelvic floor
- pelvic floor self assessment
- learning how to correctly activate your pelvic floor

I had a ball recording this with Barbara. We shared many laughs and spoke many truths and I hope it helps you, even if it’s only on a small way, to feel more at ease with your amazing body!

Another Handy exercise for stretching out that pelvic floor. “But do I need to stretch it?” you ask.

Think about it like this…
When you lift a heavy weight 10 times, your bicep starts to feel fatigued and tight and sore, so naturally, you feel like you need to give it a stretch.

Same goes for your pelvic floor. It’s all well and good to strengthen, strengthen, strengthen, but we also need to remember to lengthen those fibres out afterwards to maintain a healthy resting tone.

So jump into this pose for a minute or two after you do your activations!

First, you'll select your start date (I recommend beginning your hire 3 weeks before your baby's due date so you can get familiar with the machine and it's settings).
Your Neurotrac Labour TENS Hire will arrive on or close to this date!

Second - Enjoy the amazing benefits of pharmaceutical-free pain relief!!

Finally - You'll be able to send it back via a pre-paid post sachel 5 weeks after it's arrival. Aim to be prompt with this as there will be other mumma's who'll need you to share the love.

If you'd like an 8 week hire option, this can also be arranged.

Simple!

Having a tight pelvic floor is definitely a thing! But there are ways to combat it.

Try the downward dog to cobra combination. Hold for 3-5 seconds in each position and repeat 5 times.

Do this a couple times a day.

SIGNS OF A TIGHT PELCIV FLOOR REMINDER:
🤍 Painful s*x
🤍 Aching undercarriage
🤍 Difficulty starting the flow of urine
🤍 Painful and/or frequent urination
🤍 Leakage/ incontinence
🤍 Difficulty passing stool
🤍 Bloating and constipation
🤍 Lower back ache
🤍 Tight inner thighs

If you're wondering if you're still "postpartum/postnatal" the answer is yes.
You gave birth to a child, therefore, in my opinion, you will always be!

It's never too late to book an appointment with me for a one on one assessment, to chat about all things motherhood and to get you feeling a little more yourself again.

If you suspect you're starting to develop mastitis, call the clinic (02) 4207 9960 and book in for an express therapeutic ultrasound session with me.

The warmth and vibration from the sound head will help to break down any blockages and hopefully reduce the chances of developing an infection. You may need a few sessions over the course of a week to help promote quicker healing.

Feel free to bring your baby with you, as feeding right after a session is most beneficial!

12/07/2023

Here's what will go on during a telehealth session with me:

🤍 Learn self assessment techniques for abdominal separation
🤍 Learn basic core exercises
🤍 Learn how to activate AND relax the pelvic floor
🤍 Determine pelvic floor strength baseline
🤍 Education regarding pregnancy-safe (or return to) exercise/activity
🤍 Addressing any other concerns, goals

It's going to be great!!

Growing a baby is tough. Being a newborn mum is tough.

So don’t forget to hold space for yourself and DON’T feel guilty about it.

You either grew a foot today or recently pushed a baby out from your nether regions.

As a mum, to a mum, I can relate. I’m here to come to you and help you hold that time and space for yourself and your incredible body!

I went to a home consult recently. A gorgeous first-time mum tentatively opened the door. She cradled her beautiful 6 week old newborn baby in her arms, worried about putting her down in the fear she may grizzle and/or cry during our time together.

I assured her that if at any time throughout the session, she needed to tend to her baby, that she could do that. If she needed to be fed, changed or tapped on the bottom back to a sound sleep, we could do that.

That’s the beauty of an in-home consult. It’s in the comfort of your safe space, your baby’s safe space.
Funny enough, turns out she was a unicorn baby - slept like a log for the entire hour and a half! Winning!

Never been an exerciser? No worries! Never a better time to start.

Here are just three key reasons why exercise during and after pregnancy is beneficial. I could go on for days about this!

And let me tell you, I have not always been into the exercise thing… but I’m a convert. So, let’s connect and I’ll show you how to safely move through the motherhood lifecycle into a stronger version of yourself.
