If you've given up your favourite class or sport because of pelvic floor symptoms...

Come to see me!

I am so passionate about helping women navigate pelvic floor symptoms while exercising. I want you to find freedom to do what you love!

We need exercise to stay sane, right, ladies?! I know it’s a MUST for me 🏃🏋⛹️‍♀️⚽️

Why am I asking this question?

I often see women that have seen other pelvic physios…

In recent years I have found that women that are often being progressed VERY slowly by their previous physio - perhaps too slowly. So many women are reigned in heavily and told not to do certain things - I see this especially with prolapse management.

I find that women can end up feeling more broken if the slow approach is taken.

Don’t get me wrong - sometimes this slow approach is a good idea and it is really important it’s done in this way.

Let me give 2 scenarios here - 2 women with the same diagnosis - stage 2a anterior wall prolapse:

1. Weight lifter with family history of prolapse. Had vag.inal delivery. Internal examination reveals likely levator avulsion, gh+pb is 8cms and her pelvic floor contraction is weak.

2. Runner with no family history of prolapse. Also had vag.inal delivery. Pelvic floor contraction is moderate, gh+pb is 4cms, no levator avulsion.

Both have the same stage and prolapse type but they are completely different when the FULL picture is considered. I will likely advise and progress these 2 women very differently.

It’s likely that the runner might progress loading quickly while the the weight lifter will likely be much slower. Symptoms feed into this discussion / decision on loading.

I might suggest a pessary for the weight lifter, but possibly not for the runner.

I could reign the runner in but I do I need to?

Plus - and probably MOST importantly - the patient sat in front of me needs to make the decision on when they get back to their exercise. It’s not my decision to make! I’m there to guide, help, discuss and assess.

Let’s make sure we ENABLE patients, NOT disable them unnecessarily!

Final words - I’m not saying that all other physios know nothing and I know it all - far from it! I just think we all need to question if we are doing what is best for our patients, me included 😊

I will never be a physio that ‘knows it all’. In fact if I ever become that physio, then I know I’ve got it wrong. ALWAYS learning ❤️ 📚

I have had some more truly lovely feedback from a patient this week.

This lady is in her late 30s, and has just had her second baby (both vag.nal deliveries).

She had developed some prolapse after her first baby, and she came to see me after her second baby was born.

She felt that the prolapse was an issue, and my examination confirmed that was the case.

This lady is big into weight training 🏋️‍♀️, running🏃‍♀️, and keeping fit and active.

So we decided to fit a cube pessary.

The results have been brilliant for her 🤗

It has completely taken away her symptoms and has given her the confidence to get back to running and weight training.

As she left her last appointment with me, she said, "Babs, thank you, you've given me freedom in my body again. Thanks from the bottom of my heart, I don't know what I would have done without you."

These kinds of results have a real impact on improving the quality of life for my patients.

And this feedback made my day!! This is why I love my job 🥰

Some of my patients are so distressed about their situation when they first come to see me 😞

Often, they have been experiencing symptoms for a long time, and they have either been dealing with it alone or they have tried to seek help but weren't listened to or taken seriously by their GP or other HCPs.

It makes me so sad for them, and angry on their behalf.

In the majority of cases, physiotherapy can significantly improve, or even eliminate pelvic floor symptoms.

Please don't try to cope alone. Come to see me and let's get it sorted, together.

Hi, I'm Babs!

I'm a Specialist Pelvic Physiotherapist, and the founder of Female Focus 🤗

I spent years treating hundreds of patients in the NHS before setting up my private practice.

Why? The NHS is an amazing institution, but I could see that many women needed more time and input that we couldn’t give through NHS care.

I knew I could offer more guidance, support and treatment if I had more time with each patient, to get to know them and really listen to their experiences, so I could provide tailored care and treatments.

Pelvic floor physio is not one-size-fits-all.

I absolutely LOVE my job here at Female Focus. I have the pleasure of working with so many wonderful women and really making a difference in their lives.

My lovely clinic is in Alderley Edge - if you've been meaning to get help with pelvic floor issues, don't put it off any longer. Come and see me, and let's get it sorted!

Many women walk into my clinic for the first time feeling nervous and worried about what's going on in their body.

My aim is for them to walk out of that appointment feeling empowered! 💪

👉 They understand more about their pelvic floor and what's going on 'down there'

👉 They have a clear plan of action that we have both agreed upon

👉 They feel seen and supported (often, I am the first HCP who has properly listened to them)

You're in safe hands here at Female Focus 🧡

This is real feedback I had from a patient.

I was so pleased to have helped put her mind at rest, BUT also incredibly sad that she had been worrying for so long about what could be happening with her pelvic floor

She had been quietly worried for years 😢

Please don't suffer in silence - if you're worried, let's get you seen.

Whatever the outcome, not knowing is often worse than facing whatever it is head on, and getting it sorted.

Come and see me at Female Focus. I'm here for you.

In recent years, I’ve noticed more women coming to me with pelvic floor overactivity, increased tension, and tightness around the pelvis.

Why is this? 🤔

I think it’s down to 2 big reasons -

1️⃣ Growing awareness of pelvic health after having a baby - meaning that women are holding/recruiting their muscles more.

The narratives that we hear are often that we need to be working / contracting our pelvic floor post-natally.

2️⃣ Another huge cause is stress! If you are suffering with stress, anxiety and burnout you can hold tension in your pelvic floor.

As women we often feel we need to be everything to everyone - so many women that I see are burnt out and ‘over-loaded’ from life, kids, careers, pressure to “get their body back”… the list goes on 😫

My advice would be that you should have an assessment with an experienced pelvic physiotherapist before assuming anything!

Longing to get back to training, but not sure if you should?

⚡️ Don't let pelvic floor worries hold you back

I specialise in supporting women who exercise, from beginners running their very first 5k, all the way to professional athletes competing at elite levels.

It is wayyy more common than you think to get pelvic floor symptoms while working out, even for young women and those who have not had children.

But don't give up. Come to see me and let's work together to get you back on top form, doing what you love 💪

Many of my patients come to me after they've had their babies.

But did you know, it's also very beneficial to come and see me while you're pregnant?

This is so I can:

1️⃣ Fully assess you

2️⃣ Establish your baseline and what your 'normal' is (because everybody's normal is different)

3️⃣ Give any support and insight on how you are moving around

4️⃣ Accurately assess your pelvic floor so you know what is right for YOU. Sooooo many women that I see need to work more on pelvic floor release and relaxation in pregnancy - especially if a baby is going to come through the muscles in a matter of weeks or months! ‘Hammering’ pelvic floor contractions may be a bad idea!

I woukd advise coming any time from 12 weeks of pregnancy.

(And please be reassured; it's totally safe to see me during pregnancy 🤰)
