Strong from the inside out 💙

Pelvic floor exercises can play an important role in improving bladder control, supporting recovery after pregnancy, reducing pelvic pain, and building core stability. These small but powerful muscles support your bladder, bowel, and pelvic organs, and when they are working well, everyday movements feel easier and more comfortable.

The key is learning how to properly activate and relax these muscles — it’s not just about squeezing, but about coordination, strength, and timing.

If you’re experiencing leakage, pelvic heaviness, discomfort, or core weakness, pelvic floor physiotherapy can help guide you with the right exercises for your body and your goals. Click the link in the bio to book your appointment.

A Baker’s cyst is a fluid-filled swelling that forms at the back of the knee, often creating a noticeable lump or tightness.

What you’re seeing:
• A bulge behind the knee (popliteal area)
• Can look round or elongated
• May become more prominent when the knee is straight and less visible when bent

Common symptoms:
• Tightness or stiffness behind the knee
• Swelling that can extend into the calf
• Discomfort with full knee flexion or extension

Why it happens:

A Baker’s cyst is usually caused by excess joint fluid being pushed into the back of the knee due to:
• Knee arthritis
• Meniscus injuries
• Inflammation inside the joint

When to be cautious:

If there’s sudden pain, redness, or swelling in the calf, it can mimic more serious conditions (like a blood clot), so medical assessment is important.

Rebuilding strength after shoulder surgery goes beyond basic movement—it’s about restoring control, stability, and confidence 💪

Perturbation exercises play a key role in recovery and return to sports:

✨ These techniques help:
✔️ Improve shoulder stability
✔️ Enhance neuromuscular control
✔️ Reduce risk of re-injury
✔️ Build confidence returning to activity

Recovery is a process—guided, progressive rehab makes all the difference. If you’re post-op or struggling with shoulder stability, our team is here to help you move better and feel stronger.
