May 6 is World Maternal Mental Health Day. 💜

A day to acknowledge something that doesn’t get talked about enough:
1 in 5 mothers experience perinatal mood disorders during pregnancy or the first year postpartum.

That means if you’re struggling—you are not alone. Not even close.
Anxiety. Depression. Intrusive thoughts. Rage. Numbness. Grief. Overwhelm. The feeling that you’re failing when you’re actually just surviving.
These experiences are real. They’re valid. And they deserve support.

From all of us at Diamond Physiotherapy: We see you.
We know this season can be isolating. We know it’s not always what you expected. We know asking for help can feel impossible when you’re barely keeping your head above water.

But you don’t have to do this alone.
Liza has worked with hundreds of new parents navigating mood and adjustment during the perinatal period.
She gets it. The complexity. The shame that shouldn’t be there but is. The exhaustion that goes deeper than sleep deprivation.

If you’re struggling and need support—please reach out. You deserve compassionate care that meets you exactly where you are.
You are not alone. 💜

Meet Samantha’s therapy space. 💙

Cozy chair. Soft lighting. Color-coded books (that she’s actually read). A basket of fidgets you can play with.
And Samantha: fully human, occasionally sarcastic, definitely not a blank slate.
Therapy at Diamond Physiotherapy isn’t stiff or silent.
It’s real, sometimes deep, sometimes messy, and yes—sometimes we laugh.
Come as you are. Samantha will meet you there.

Last weekend reminded me why I love what I do. 💙

Members of the Diamond team joined me at the Female Athlete Course, where I was a teaching assistant alongside .

Brandon and Julie were there learning. We got to hang out with Denise (who used to be part of our team) and Kelsey from . We met incredible people. We laughed, learned, probably added a few tweaks to our muscles, and soaked up so much knowledge to bring back to the clinic.

Thank you for an amazing weekend.

But here’s what really got me:

I am so incredibly grateful for the team of clinicians at Diamond Physiotherapy.
I couldn’t do what I do without them. Full stop.

They show up. They invest in learning. They care deeply about doing this work well. They challenge me, support me, and make me better at what I do.

Every course we take together makes us better clinicians. Every conversation we have strengthens how we show up for our clients.

This team—this commitment to growth, to excellence, to truly caring about the people we work with—is everything.

Thank you, Brandon, Julie, and the entire Diamond team. I’m so lucky to work alongside you.

Here’s to learning together, growing together, and constantly getting better. 💙

Quick follow-up to my post about backs not being fragile:

I want you to think about something.

Rugby. Ice hockey. Football. Field hockey—which I used to play. MMA. Lacrosse.
All high-contact sports. Lots of force. Lots of impact. Lots of twisting, bending, collisions.
If backs were as fragile as we’ve been told, these sports wouldn’t exist.

And yet—people play them every single day. And they’re not breaking their spines left and right.

Yes, spinal injuries happen. But they’re rare. Really rare considering the amount of force involved.

So what does that tell us?

Your spine is built to handle movement. Impact. Force. It’s designed to adapt.
It’s way stronger than you give it credit for.

If athletes can absorb tackles, collisions, and high-impact movements without constantly breaking down, your spine can handle bending over to pick something up.
It can handle twisting. Lifting. Moving in “imperfect” ways.

Stop treating your back like it’s fragile.
It’s not. It’s resilient. It’s adaptable. It’s meant to move.
Trust it. 💪

Three coffees in the morning = urgency issues for three hours. 🧻

I could tell this patient to give up coffee entirely.

But I’m not going to give up coffee. So I’m not going to tell you to give up coffee. 😂
Instead, we negotiated: Try two. See if it helps. If not, try one.
That’s it. No all-or-nothing. No perfection required.

We live in a world that says: give up everything or give up nothing.
But what if we just went halfway?
Small reductions can make big differences. And they’re way more sustainable than trying to eliminate everything.

Healthcare doesn’t have to be about deprivation. It can be about finding what actually works for YOUR life.

So next time someone tells you to give something up completely—ask yourself: Could I try reducing it first?
You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to see what makes a difference. 💙

Social media is full of advice about what you “should” and “shouldn’t” do with your body.
Especially in the pre and postnatal world. And increasingly, for menopausal women. 🧐

“You HAVE to do this exercise.”
“You SHOULDN’T do that movement.”
“Take this supplement.”
“Avoid that activity.”

Whoa. Slow down.

Here’s what often gets lost in all that noise:
You have to be realistic about what you can and can’t do—and what you can and can’t afford.
Not just financially. But in terms of time, energy, capacity, and what actually fits into YOUR life.
Social media advice is rarely personalized. It doesn’t know your body, your history, your goals, or your circumstances.
And finding a trusted person to help you navigate all of this? That’s hard. Really hard.

Here’s what we believe:
The only thing that’s truly unsafe when it comes to activity is jumping out of a plane without a parachute.

Everything else? It’s about context. Your body. Your goals. Your capacity right now.
Not a one-size-fits-all rule from someone on the internet who’s never met you.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, here’s your permission:
You don’t have to do all the things. You don’t have to follow every rule. You don’t have to buy every supplement or avoid every movement someone told you was “dangerous.”

What you DO need is someone who will:
✓ Listen to YOUR situation
✓ Help you figure out what’s realistic for YOU
✓ Guide you based on YOUR body and YOUR goals
✓ Not overwhelm you with rigid rules
Are we that person for you? Maybe. Maybe not. And that’s okay.

But if you’re drowning in social media advice and need someone to help you cut through the noise—we’re here.
Let’s talk about what actually makes sense for YOU. 💙

Okay so apparently it’s Administrative Professionals Day and I absolutely knew that. Obviously. I had this planned all along. 😂

But in all seriousness — can we just take a moment for the people who actually keep Diamond Physiotherapy running?! Because it is absolutely not me. 🙊

Tammy, our Office Coordinator — the calm in every storm, the reason anything gets done and the person who somehow always knows where everything is. 💎

Karen, our Administrative Specialist — organised, dependable and the kind of person who makes the whole team breathe a little easier just by being there. 💎

And our incredible Marketing Coordinator — the brilliant mind behind everything you see on this page. Yes, including this post. Yes, she probably reminded me about today. 😂❤️

I am a better physiotherapist, a better business owner and honestly a better human because of these women. Diamond Physiotherapy is nothing without them. ✨

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to the ones who hold it all together while I run around being enthusiastic about pelvic floors. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💎

Sometimes, you need more than an hour. 💙

Samantha is now offering 90-minute psychotherapy sessions—and we couldn’t be more excited about it.

Here’s why this matters:
Not everything fits into a standard therapy hour. Sometimes you need extra time to go deeper. To unpack what’s really happening. To not feel like you’re watching the clock just when the conversation is getting meaningful.

These longer sessions create space for:
✓ Unhurried exploration of what’s going on
✓ Processing complex emotions or experiences
✓ Following threads without having to stop mid-thought
✓ A pace that actually feels manageable

Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, or simply prefer a more spacious approach to therapy—this option is here.
Because healing takes time. And sometimes, you need a little more of it.

POV: Someone just found out pelvic health physiotherapy isn’t just for postpartum women. 💃
(Hence the celebratory dance.)

But seriously—I hear this constantly:
“Wait, you see men too?”
“I didn’t know this was a thing for younger people.”
“I thought pelvic health was only for women after childbirth.”

Let me clear this up once and for all:
Pelvic health physiotherapy is for ANYONE who has a pelvis.
Men? Yes.
Young people? Absolutely.
Kids? We’ve treated patients as young as 7.
Older adults? We’ve treated patients up to 100.
Athletes? Yes.
People of all genders? YES.
If you’re dealing with:

• Pelvic pain
• Urinary or bowel issues
• Sexual dysfunction
• Post-surgery recovery
• Chronic discomfort
..pelvic health physiotherapy can help. Regardless of your age or gender.
Your pelvis doesn’t care about demographics. And your care shouldn’t either. 💙

So yes, we see everyone. And we’re here for you.

We see you. And we’re gently suggesting you reconsider your weekend strategy. 😅

New weekend goals:
✅ Do less
✅ Rest more
✅ Feel zero guilt about it
Your body doesn’t need you to be productive 24/7. Your mind doesn’t either.
Rest is not laziness. Downtime is not wasted time. And honestly? Your mental health will thank you for prioritizing it.
So this weekend, give yourself permission to:

Sleep in
Say no to things
Do absolutely nothing and call it self-care
Move your body in ways that feel joyful, not punishing

Balance isn’t about doing it all. It’s about knowing when NOT to do it all.
Happy weekend! Now go be unproductive. 💙✨

I’m going to say this loudly for the people in the back:
STOP DISMISSING INCONTINENCE AS “JUST PART OF AGING.” 🗣️

Every week, someone tells me they were advised to “just use pads” or “it’s normal after having kids.”
And every week, I want to lose it.

Incontinence is common. So is back pain. So is knee pain.
But you know what? If your knee pain was stopping you from exercising, socializing, or living your life—you wouldn’t accept “that’s just aging” as an answer.

So why do we accept it for incontinence?

If you’re avoiding activities you love, planning every outing around bathrooms, crossing your legs every time you sneeze, or waking up multiple times at night—that’s affecting your quality of life.
And your quality of life matters.
Here’s what I need you to know:

Incontinence IS treatable. Your pelvic floor is made of MUSCLES—and muscles can be strengthened, retrained, and rehabilitated.

I’ve treated patients from age 7 to 100. SEVEN TO ONE HUNDRED.
It’s never too early. It’s never too late.

You don’t need surgery. You don’t need to resign yourself to a lifetime of pads. You don’t need to “just deal with it.”

You deserve to sneeze without fear. Laugh without crossing your legs. Move through life with confidence.

If someone told you incontinence is just something you have to live with—they’re wrong.

Help is available. Treatment works.
You don’t have to live like this. 💙
