Did you know I have a pregnancy cushion in my clinic? 🤰🏽

My pregnant patients often LOVE it.

It's the first time they've been able to lie on their front for months!

I will often use it when I assess women with pelvic pain and back pain 🤗

It's REALLY important to me that I help my patients by giving them enough information, but without using confusing medical jargon, or restricting them with strict Do's and Don'ts.

My aim is to empower women and give them the knowledge they need.

You are in control of your body, and I am here to advise, guide, and support you, using many years of experience and expertise.

And this approach works really well for my patients, helping them feel connected to their own body and understand what works for them.

We're in it together!

You're in safe hands here at Female Focus 🧡

Specialist physiotherapy can be life-changing for women with pelvic floor symptoms.

The patient who sent me this message had seen 2 physiotherapists before me. She didn’t see any improvements and was losing hope of ever improving her symptoms.

I did a thorough assessment and recommended a tailored treatment plan just for her, and she very quickly saw results 🤗

What symptoms do I see in my clinic?

👉Leaking / incontinence (bladder or bowel)
👉Urgency / frequency (bladder or bowel)
👉Heaviness, pressure, bulging feeling
👉UTI symptoms
👉Problems with intimacy - leaking, pain, reduced sensation
👉Constipation
👉Bladder - difficulty voiding, interrupted flow of urine, incomplete emptying
👉Painful bladder, pain with bladder filling

These are just *some* of the symptoms you may feel if you have a pelvic floor issue, but this list is absolutely not exhaustive!

Sometimes, you might just feel like things are 'not quite right' down there.

No symptom or feeling is too big or too small for you to seek support from a specialist physiotherapist.

Come to see me for a thorough assessment, and I can put your mind at rest, or develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

Do you know one particular exercise that I often get asked about? Double unders/skipping (this features a lot in CrossFit workouts).

Good news: I have some tips to help 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 you can try yourself:

• 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.

I am here if you need me! 🧡

“I had my baby by caesarean section 6 years ago. My scar still causes problems. I feel it pulling when I move, and I hate the way it looks. Is it too late to change it?”

I have had a few enquiries like this recently.

Remodelling and maturity of a scar takes about two years. The earlier you work on a scar (after it is fully closed), the more likely you are to change it.

All that being said, you *can* still change a scar that’s over 2 years old, but it’s a bit harder to do so.

If you have concerns about your C-Section scar (no matter how long ago), I would advise that you book in for an Initial Scar Assessment 😊

If you have any questions, please send them my way

✨ Appreciation post ✨

I can say with complete certainty that my business wouldn’t be what it is today without Alex, my husband.

When I made the decision to leave the NHS in August 2018, we were deep in the thick of boy chaos. Henry was almost 2, and Lewis and Harrison were 4 and 5. Life was loud, busy, completely chaotic - Alex supported my decision wholeheartedly because he knew it was what I truly wanted.

I knew starting a business would be hard - but I had no idea how hard. Even so, creating Female Focus has been one of the best decisions of my life. I love my work. I believe in it deeply. And I know it matters to the women I support.

I am, first and foremost, a mum - and I adore my three boys. But I also needed something that was mine. Something I could build. Something that aligned with who I am and what I care about.

I could never have done this without Alex. His support and his patience. He is my biggest champion, right alongside my mum, who achieved incredible things in her own physiotherapy career.

They say teamwork makes the dream work. I feel that truth every day ❤️

What are they??

These are Vag.nal weights

Yes, really 😃

There are few different ones on the market, but my personal favourites are the ones by Secret Whispers (see picture).

The basic idea is that the weight sits on your pelvic floor, and it trains the muscles as you hold the weight in. As you become stronger, you can use heavier weights! (Hence the different coloured balls, which are heavier!)

Important – I would recommend an assessment from a physiotherapist before trying weights to check they are right for you. If you're interested, ask me about them at your next appointment or drop me a message!

Exercise after having a baby...

After each of my 3 boys was born, I was keen to get back to exercising as soon as I could.

For me, the major drivers were getting ‘me time’ back and getting that endorphin release.

I know many women feel the same, and I'm often asked, "Babs, when is it safe to start exercising again?"

In my personal AND professional experience, I can say one thing for sure: it is impossible to give a timeframe for return to exercise that suits ALL women .

🤱 We are all different, we have all been on a different journey, we all have different bodies, and we will all have different exercise goals.

The best way to really know when your body is ready is with an assessment from a Specialist Pelvic Physiotherapist.

When I carry out postnatal assessments, I'm asking things like:

💠What kind of exercise do you want to do?

💠What was the mode of delivery??

💠Are you breastfeeding?

💠How are you feeling since having the baby? Are you having any problems?

💠Are you having any urgency or leaking from your bladder or bowel? Do you have any heaviness down below?

I also carry out a physical examination before making recommendations and developing a treatment plan if needed.

If you're thinking of getting back to exercise after having your baby, you know where I am 🧡
