✨International Women’s Day! 😊✨

I had a great time yesterday talking at a fabulous International Women’s Day event hosted by 😊🙌.

I spoke about the pelvic floor and it’s relevance to training and exercise in the gym 😃🙌💪.

We went through effective pelvic floor activation and technique and I discussed the importance of the pelvic floor muscles in bladder and bowel control, intra-abdominal pressure control and core muscle activation 😊🙌.

So great to bring pelvic floor awareness to the gym and help women know the importance of the pelvic floor muscles when training 😃💪.

🌟🤰👩‍🍼Postnatal Rehabilitation and The Mummy MOT 👩‍🍼🤰🌟

Here is some lovely feedback from a client who is back to enjoying running after having her children 😃🙌.

Postnatal rehabilitation is so important to help you rehabilitate and get your strength back for the activities and sports you want to do after having your baby😊🏃‍♀️🏋️🎾🏑.

A Mummy MOT is a thorough postnatal assessment of your abdominal muscles, pelvic floor muscles, posture and breathing. You are then given your own personalised exercise programme to help reach your goals and your functional needs 😃.

Every body is different so it’s important that your assessment and exercise programme is tailors to your needs 😊👌🏼.

🌟C-section scar massage and rehabilitation 😊🌟

It’s beneficial to have your c-section scar assessed for many reasons including;
to help the healing of the scar and to help the movement through your abdominal muscles
and to rehabilitate your abdominal muscles well 😊🙌.

Here is a lovely review from a recent client who’s C-section scar I assessed. I then provided massage & mobilisation to the scar and abdominal wall and then provided some appropriate exercises to help the tone and tension through the abdominal wall 😊.

🌟C-section recovery kits are also available 😃🌟

🌟My hamstring injury rehab! 😃🙌🌟

In July I was out for a morning run and I tripped over a tree root 🌳on the canal 😖ouch!!
I made sure I didn’t fall onto my hands (to protect them 😊) and used my glutes and hamstring to pull me back up to stand.
Due to the intense sudden power and force needed to do this 💥 I strained the proximal aspect of my hamstring (in the glute region).

➡️Since then I’ve been on my own rehab journey back to running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️.

I’ve had to gain the mobility, strength and power back in my hamstring whilst maintaining good pelvic strength and control 😊🙌.

This has been a very paced process and has had to work with allowing the structures to heal 🦵.

➡️ I’ve had to focus on ways of exercising that I can do as running has always been my go to 😃. So I could strength train, bike, cross train etc. 🏋️‍♂️🚲

All while I pace back to running whilst rehabbing my hamstring.

➡️ Please note that these exercises are all examples and I’m not showing them at certain stages of my rehab and I haven’t included all of the exercises that I’ve done to increase the mobility and strength in the hamstring in the early stages.
➡️It’s also very important to know that all rehabilitation is very individualised and is not prescriptive.
➡️Rehabilitation is based on the site and the extent of the injury and your personalised goals and needs 😀👌🏼.

For your injury rehab it’s extremely beneficial to have a personalised assessment so that you can rehabilitate effectively for your specific injury and work towards your individual goals 😀✅

A Sports or Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist can help you do this 😀🙌.
