🏋🏽‍♀️ Gym exercise and physiotherapy exercise aren’t the same and knowing the difference matters more than you think.
💪🏽 Gym workouts are designed for healthy, pain-free bodies. They help you build strength, lose weight, or improve endurance. The focus is on performance and results not always on how your body moves or feels inside. Most gym routines are general. What works for one person might cause problems for someone else, especially if there’s an injury or weakness underneath.
🧘🏾‍♀️ Physiotherapy exercises, on the other hand, are not about pushing your limits. They’re gentle, targeted movements prescribed by a physiotherapist to help your body recover from pain, injury, or surgery. They focus on restoring balance, correcting movement, and retraining the muscles that have been overworked, underused, or simply forgotten.
🤕 If you’re recovering or dealing with any discomfort, jumping straight into gym workouts can actually slow your healing or make things worse.
✨ Start with what your body needs, not just what looks intense.� Heal first. Then train strong. Your body will thank you. 💛

Surgery may fix the issue, but physiotherapy gets you back on your feet.
After surgery, your body goes through a lot. You may feel pain, swelling, stiffness, or even anxiety about moving too soon. Muscles weaken from rest, joints become stiff, and scar tissue can form if movement is delayed or done incorrectly.
Physiotherapy steps in to do more than just “get you moving.” It guides your body through a safe, personalized recovery process that works in sync with how your body naturally heals.
Here’s how physiotherapy supports you after surgery:
🌀 It helps restore strength and mobility. Surgery can leave you feeling weak or unbalanced. Physiotherapy helps rebuild muscle strength, improve flexibility, and restore confident movement.
🌀 It reduces pain, swelling, and scar tissue. You do not have to live with discomfort. Through hands-on treatment and carefully guided exercises, your physiotherapist supports your body’s natural healing, making sure pain and tightness are well managed.
🌀 It prevents re-injury and long-term stiffness. Moving the wrong way or too soon can slow your healing. Physiotherapy teaches you how to move safely, avoiding stress on healing areas and preventing chronic tightness.
🌀 It helps you return to your everyday routine with ease. Whether it is walking, dressing, lifting, or just sleeping better, physiotherapy helps make these everyday tasks feel easier and more natural again.
🌀 And most importantly, your recovery plan is designed for you. No two bodies or surgeries are the same, so your physiotherapist creates a plan that fits your goals, your lifestyle, and the pace your body needs.
You do not need to navigate recovery alone. With the right support, you can heal well, move better, and feel stronger every step of the way.

If you’ve ever Googled your symptoms at 2 a.m. and left the screen more panicked than informed, you’re not alone. But let’s be very clear: not everything you’ve heard about prolapse is true and it’s time we talk about what actually is.

👵🏽 “It only happens to older women.” Not true. Yes, age can be a factor, but we’ve worked with plenty of younger women, including those in their 20s and 30s, who experience prolapse. Youth does not equal immunity.

🛏 “You’ll need surgery to fix it.” Surgery is not the only path and for many people, it’s not the first or best option. Conservative, non-invasive treatments like pelvic floor physiotherapy, pessary use, movement retraining, and breathing strategies can offer real symptom relief and improve quality of life without going under the knife.

👀 “Your organs will fall out.” We get it. The idea sounds terrifying. But that’s not how prolapse works. While some people feel or see a bulge in the vaginal canal, prolapse can also present more subtly like pressure, heaviness, or the feeling of something “just not right” in the pelvis. It’s not always visible, and it certainly doesn’t mean your body is broken.

👶🏾 “If you had a C-section, you’re safe.”Another myth. While vaginal delivery is a known risk factor, C-sections don’t offer complete protection. Pregnancy itself with all the weight, hormonal shifts, and pressure changes can stretch and weaken pelvic supports. Genetics, constipation, chronic coughing, and how you move also matter.

💬 And then there’s the whispered worry: “Will s*x ever feel normal again?”
It can. You may need some support, education, or strategies for comfort and that’s okay. Painful s*x is not something you have to accept as your new normal.

📅 Book your pelvic floor assessment today. Let’s talk about what you’re feeling, and build a care plan that gives you back comfort and control.

Let’s clear something up: tight does not mean strong, and it absolutely does not mean healthy when we’re talking about your pelvic floor

Many people, especially those dealing with pelvic discomfort, have been told to “just do more Kegels” to fix the problem. But here’s the thing: if your pelvic floor is already tight or overactive, doing more contractions can actually make it worse 😬
Tight pelvic floor muscles can lead to all kinds of frustrating symptoms:� 🌪️ pelvic pain or pressure� 🚽 trouble peeing or needing to go constantly� 💩 constipation or painful bowel movements� ❤️ pain with intimacy� ⚖️ a heavy, dragging feeling in the pelvis� 🦴 lower back, hip, or tailbone pain

That tightness is your body’s way of saying something is not right. And just like any other muscle group, your pelvic floor needs to know how to relax not just how to hold.
A healthy pelvic floor is one that can both contract and let go. It’s strong and flexible. It knows how to respond to movement, load, and rest without gripping out of habit, fear, or stress.

This is where pelvic floor physiotherapy comes in 💆🏾‍♀️. A trained therapist will assess not just the strength of your pelvic floor but also its tone, mobility, and coordination.

You don’t have to live with tension. You don’t have to keep guessing. And you definitely don’t have to keep doing Kegels if they’re not helping.
Pelvic floor dysfunction is real, and treatable. Healing starts with understanding your body and often, it starts with letting go 🤍
