One of my lovely patients shared this after her treatment 🧡

I know that pelvic floor issues can be scary - especially after having a baby. There is a lot of fear-mongering that makes women worried that they'll never be ok 'down there' again.

But most pelvic floor issues CAN be treated - and are often vastly improved after even just a few sessions with me.

Don't let fear put you off seeking help.

One thing I am very mindful about: I want to HELP my patients, not hinder them.

I want you to be able to live your life fully as you work on pelvic floor health 🙌

Ideally, nothing is out of bounds! Including taking part in your favourite sport, going for runs, or training in the gym 🏋

We might just need to adapt your movements or work on some coping strategies to support your pelvic floor function while you work through your treatment plan.

I have been working in this field for many years now, and I have had women come to me after some disappointing experiences with other healthcare providers ☹️

One of my recent patients had seen someone who advertised pelvic floor physiotherapy in their list of services, but who didn't offer a full assessment.

“She (the physio) heard 'leaking' and just told me to do pelvic floor exercises. She didn’t examine me to check if I needed to do them or if I was doing them correctly”.
..good pelvic floor exercise technique is important, but that is NOT the right advice for everyone and, in some cases, can even make things worse, depending on the findings!

I am truly supportive of my fellow professionals, but this just isn't good care, and patients deserve better. This was a private consultation too, so she paid for this advice.

I take a VERY thorough approach to my practice. I always take a very detailed history and (as long as the patient is comfortable to do so) I always carry out an internal assessment to make an accurate clinical diagnosis before developing a treatment plan.

If you're looking for physio support for pelvic floor issues, here's my advice:

✅ Always choose a pelvic floor specialist

BUT ALSO...
✅ Ask around and get a personal recommendation

✅ Follow a practitioner closely online to get a feel for their approach and expertise

✅ Don’t be afraid to question them on their experience and CPD!

A bit about me 😊

I love my exercise.

It gives me headspace, I love feeling strong and it does wonders for my mental health!

I've always been big on sports and exercising, and I like to challenge myself and see what my body can do 💪

I also like to be an example to show women that they can still do strenuous activity, despite pelvic floor problems.

I have my own story of issues here. For me, returning to weight lifting having had 3 vaginal deliveries was a challenge for quite a long time! I now ‘have freedom’ in my body and I don’t feel limited by my pelvic floor anymore 🙌

I love helping other women return to or start exercising - I know the physical and mental health benefits make a real difference (especially when you are a busy mum and rarely get any time to yourself!).

When it comes to pelvic floor function, what is 'normal'? 🤔

This is a grey area, as we are all different!

But it helps to have some parameters of what we consider 'normal', so that you know what to look out for.

👉 Your pelvic floor has a few different roles. Its primary functions are to support your pelvic organs and control your bladder and bowel function. It also has important role sexual function.

✅ Ideally, you should be able to perform all of your daily activities without discomfort, pain, leaking or incontinence.

⚡ Injury (often caused by childbirth), age, pain, hormones, athleticism and a few other factors can all affect the way your pelvic floor works.

Pelvic floor issues are REALLY common - but we don't talk about them enough (I'm on a mission to change that!).

The good news is that in most cases, specialist physiotherapy can vastly improve or even eliminate pelvic floor issues 🙌

⚡️Let's talk about diastasis recti ⚡️

Diastasis recti is a hot topic in the pelvic health world. It's something that we are understanding more about over time.

All women develop diastasis recti during pregnancy by 35 weeks gestation.

Therefore, we can conclude that diastasis recti is a normal adaptation to carrying a baby to term.

There is sooo much false and incorrect information out there - it drives me mad if truth be told!

Does diastasis recti need rehabilitation?

It depends.

It depends on the function of your abdominal and aesthetics (… that’s if aesthetics is important to you!)

But ultimately, if rehabilitation of diastasis recti is important to you, then it is important to me.

Rehabilitation looks different for each person. It depends on your goals, how you function, and how you feel about it.

If you are struggling to know what to do, get in touch, and let's get you assessed.

This is a ring pessary - it helps support your pelvic organs if you have prolapse.

It's an extremely effective device, I have soooo many success stories from women who have used one!

If you'd like to know more and find out if a pessary is a suitable treatment choice for you, get in touch, and we can arrange an assessment 🙂

By far, the best part of my job is the women I meet.

I love my patients! 💖

And there is no better feeling than when they tell me that after working together, they are now able to do things they thought they'd never be able to do again because of pelvic floor symptoms like leaking and heaviness.

Things like bouncing on a trampoline with their children, returning to their favourite sport, or even just being able to go out without panicking about where the nearest toilet is 😢

Resolving pelvic floor issues has a direct impact on quality of life, and I'm SO proud to play a part in that for the women who come to see me 🥰

Towards the end of the summer holidays, I am going to take a little break before the madness of school runs, homework, and after school clubs start up again!

My clinic will be closed from 21st August - 2nd September (reopening on Weds 3rd September).

Thanks for your understanding 🧡

I love exercise (I'm a !), and one of the most common exercises that women avoid or fear because of the risk of leaking is double-unders (or even skipping in general).

Let me share some tips to stop or improve leaking during double-unders.

Firstly, different things work for different women. No two women are the same, and I will often try different things when someone comes to me in clinic.

Here are a few things to try:

• Keep the jump small
• Don’t hold in your stomach
• Keep your shoulders relaxed
• Let go and relax your pelvic floor (I know it may seem counterintuitive if you leak)
• Concentrate on breathing
• Lean forward slightly
• Concentrate on the breath out
• Avoid too much caffeine before doing them
• Do them earlier in the day
• Threshold building – if you start leaking after 10 double unders, stop at 9, re-adjust, rest and go again. Build this up over time…
• Work on building up the strength and bulk of your pelvic floor

And my final advice is to consider booking an appointment with a pelvic physiotherapist who can do an internal assessment and shed more light on the picture.

Well, the summer holidays are here again 😅

I do love being able to spend a bit more time with my boys and having a break from the craziness of all the clubs and sports.

But, it's also pretty hard to juggle childcare and work, keep everyone happy and entertained, plan some fun activities, and hold it all together...

It's a lot!! Can anyone else relate?

I'm sending solidarity, from me to you. Let's do this, ladies!! 💪

Who am I, and what do I do?

📍My clinic is in Alderley Edge, Cheshire. It's a gorgeous, cosy space with a treatment area and even a gym (I support a lot of sportswomen and athletes).

👩‍👦‍👦👨‍👦I have an amazing, supportive husband, and 3 young boys - they definitely keep me on my toes 😅

Thanks for following! 🤗
