Most women with Endometriosis suffer from this disease for 10 years or more before they get an accurate diagnosis.

The pelvic and abdominal pain from Endo is debilitating.

I see teens and women in my physio clinic that can't go to school or have had to stop working.

They are devastated mentally and emotionally because they can't enjoy activities with their friends, families and in their communities.

They often have excruciating pain with in*******se, so their intimate relationships suffer too.

Many women with Endo suffer in silence with pelvic pain thinking that pain with periods or pain with s*x is "normal".
I want to break that silence and transmute the misunderstanding and misinformation about Endometriosis.

If you suffer from symptoms related to Endometriosis then see a pelvic physiotherapist; book an appointment today.

Cyclists: If your saddle is causing pelvic pain... your body is trying to tell you something.

Cycling is fantastic for fitness — but sometimes the bike seat isn't so friendly to your pelvic nerves.

Pressure from a narrow saddle can irritate the pudendal nerve, leading to symptoms like:

• Ge***al numbness while riding
• Burning pelvic pain after rides
• Tingling or altered sensation
• Pain with sitting after cycling

Good news: most cyclists don't need to stop riding.

Book a Pelvic Physio session today if pain is stopping you from riding.

We ALL need reminders that
"your body is a miracle".

When we are in pain or feel as though our bodies have let us down, reminding ourselves how magical and how resilient the human body is can be empowering.

The human body is capable of amazing things.....sometimes it just needs guidance and support.💕

Much gratitude to for a transformative biodynamic craniosacral session yesterday and for helping remind me what a calm, regulated nervous system feels like. 🙏

Do you have tailbone pain?

There are many reasons why it can hurt to sit.

Tailbone pain is not only due to sitting.

It can also be our body's reaction to stress which may trigger clenching of the pelvic floor and buttock muscles...... much like how we habitually clench our jaw muscles.

An emotionally traumatic event can trigger this kind of pain or sometimes it's related to a physical injury.

Many of my patients invest in standing desks and are frustrated when their tailbone is still sore for many months.

Pelvic physiotherapy is effective at getting to the root cause of tailbone pain.
Book an appointment today if you are in pain.

Does the idea lasting an entire chairlift ride without needing to go p*e, cause you anxiety?

Good news: pelvic physiotherapy can help you regain pelvic floor control and confidence so you can enjoy all the winter sports you love.

Today is the last day of Movember: A month to to raise awareness about Men's Health issues: mental health, su***de prevention, prostate and testicular health.

Do you OR does the man in your life check his go**ds regularly to screen for signs of testicular cancer?

P***s owners usually have intimate
knowledge of what their shaft looks and feels like but many of my patients admit they don't routinely check their testicles.

What to do:
Monthly, using both hands notice the shape, feel and size of both testicles as you gently roll them between your fingers.
Normal testicles should feel soft and move freely inside the sc***um.

Compare both sides any lumps, swelling, change in size or irregularities.
Report any areas of concern to your Doctor.

Testicular cancer is highly treatable, especially if caught early.

November is the month to create awareness about Men's Health…...especially awareness about men's mental health, Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer and su***de risk.

On a daily basis in my physio clinic I witness men who are struggling physically and emotionally.

They may have chronic pelvic pain, erectile health problems, urinary incontinence and other symptoms that may be very embarrassing or difficult to openly discuss.

During MOVEMBER let's remember that there are many barriers to men receiving the treatment they need.

If you are a man struggling with pelvic health issues then please know you are NOT alone.

Reach out to your doctor or to a pelvic physiotherapist who is trained in treating men if you are noticing changes in your pelvic health.

Can we please STOP telling women they're not allowed to run with pelvic organ prolapse?

16 years ago running is what kept me sane as a single Mom. One year postpartum I signed up for the Big Sur marathon because I needed a destination marathon to help me manage my feelings of stress and overwhelm.

This is something I hear from many of my postpartum patients too!

My marriage fell apart when my son was an infant. I was juggling caring for a new baby, a toddler, running my physio business and I had stage 4 organ prolapse with both urinary and f***l incontinence. Yikes!

For me, running was the only time that I felt a sense of control over my body and a sense of blissful freedom.

I share this story because many women are told not to run if they have organ prolapse or if they have urinary or f***l incontinence.

I'm not saying all women with prolapse should be running.....but I am saying that every person with prolapse or with incontinence is unique.

Each person has their own recovery experience and helping that person navigate the experience both physically AND emotionally is paramount.

Recovering from postpartum injuries is definitely NOT just about the pelvic floor muscles....it's about recovering emotionally, mentally and physically.

If are struggling with pelvic symptoms related pregnancy or postpartum, pelvic physiotherapy
pelvic physiotherapy can help.
