I am having a LOT of enquiries lately about c-section scars.

Women tell me they get:

⚡️ Sensitivity
⚡️ Pain
⚡️ Adhesions and pulling

Some women also dislike the way their scar looks.

The good news is that I DO treat c-section scars.

I'm going to share some more content on caesarean scars over the coming weeks, so watch this space 👀

Are pelvic floor exercises always the answer?

NO - not all women need to do more pelvic floor exercises.

That might surprise you because the general messaging out there (from many healthcare professionals, too) is just to do more kegels!

But actually, this advice is not right for everyone.

In fact, some women need to learn to RELAX their pelvic floor, instead of tightening it!

You can only get tailored advice and a bespoke treatment plan that's right for YOU by seeing a Specialist Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist for a thorough assessment.

You know where I am 🤗

Did you know that a mild prolapse after childbirth can sometimes spontaneously resolve itself? That's right - they sometimes get better on their own without any intervention or treatment.

In these cases, conservative management is absolutely the right thing for the patient. Then we can follow up later to check for changes and make sure things are going in the right direction.

I am always mindful not to 'over treat' when your body might actually just need time to recover. This is a trap that many physios fall into.

When you come to see me, you are guaranteed a thorough assessment and a considered plan of care. I will NOT suggest or recommend anything that is not entirely in your best interests.

Pregnancy…

A lot of women self refer to me when they are pregnant 😊

There are lots of reasons as why women book in. Some have pelvic floor problems, others have back pain, some have pelvic pain…

I also see a lot that don’t have any issues or symptoms - they simply want assessment and bespoke advice for THEIR body.

I see a huge amount of women that are exercising at a high level and they want a clear idea as to what is right for them. Women often hear conflicting advice which can be quite frustrating.

The other great thing about seeing you in pregnancy is that we can establish a baseline for your body.

I always go through birth prep too!

The photo - this is a special pregnancy cushion... it means you can lie on your tummy and your bump goes in the hole 😃

I use it sometimes with pregnant women to allow me to assess the pelvis & lumbar spine area.

If you are pregnant and you want to see me, just book in for an Initial Consultation on my website 😊

Do you play high-level sports? 🏋️‍♀️
Do you train hard and love pushing yourself? 🏃‍♀️

Do you also experience bladder leaking while you're taking part? 😳

I work closely with many female athletes, playing at elite levels...

And trust me - it's way more common than you might think.

If you need support to manage your bladder and pelvic floor while exercising, you know where I am.

SO MANY of my patients apologise for being 'ungroomed' (is that a word? 😅)

My very firm answer is: you do not have to be shaved, waxed, trimmed, or anything else!

I have seen literally hundreds of vul vas and va gi nas (maybe even thousands by this point 😂)

I have seen it all, I promise you.

Come to me as you are - I am concerned about your pelvic health - nothing else!

(Plus who said grooming was needed anyway 🤷‍♀️)

Did you know that being tense all over can also affect your pelvic floor?

You might be holding high tension in your pelvic floor muscles without even realising it - especially if you are aware of pelvic floor strength and practice pelvic floor exercises.

Your pelvic floor needs to know how to relax as well as contract!

So if you always hold tension down there, it just can't function properly.

In fact, this happens more than you might think!

And it can cause common pelvic floor symptoms, like leaking and urgency for the loo.

Raising awareness of pelvic floor issues is a good thing 🤗

BUT I also see fearmongering that can cause undue stress for women who experience leaking or other symptoms

The reality is that, often, these pelvic floor issues can be treated quite easily, with excellent results

Don't just go off what you see or hear online.

Get a professional assessment so you know exactly what you're dealing with.

A big part of my job involves educating women on what their pelvic floor does, what it's made of, how it works, and the symptoms of a pelvic floor that needs attention.

We should be taught this in schools, right?! We need to know more about our bodies!

I suppose when our pelvic floors are working as they should, we don't really give them much thought.

But if things start to feel different - perhaps we experience some leaking urine when we run, or we start struggling to hold in our p*e and have to rush to the toilet, or something doesn't feel quite 'right' down there...

It makes us pay more attention to our pelvic floor.

And that's where I come in 🤗

If you already follow me, you'll know I share a lot of educational posts. I also take time in my appointments to explain everything clearly so that my patients fully understand what's going on and can make an informed decision about their treatment.

It can come as a real shock if this happens.

This fear is totally understandable - you know it's not 'normal' and it's hard to enjoy running in the same way if you're scared you'll leak.

If this is happening to you, please see a Specialist Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist for an assessment.

Once you understand what’s going on, your physio can create a treatment plan to help you manage or improve symptoms.

I have lots of strategies and techniques to try. People respond differently to different approaches; it's not a one-size-fits-all.

Don't give up running! Come to see me if you need support.

Ladies, our pelvic floors are amazing things!

They are complex structures that multitask in so many ways!

They hold up our organs, provide us with bladder and bowel control, play a role in s.x, support a growing baby through pregnancy, and work hard in childbirth.

Take the time to invest in caring for yours 🧡

If you need me, you know where I am ☺
