Putting you at the core of your pre and post natal journey

27/01/2026

Sling carrying is an incredible way to bond with your baby and keep your hands free - but like everything postnatally, there’s a smart way to approach it 🤱

Your pelvic floor is recovering from pregnancy, birth, and now supporting extra weight in a completely different position. That doesn’t mean you can’t use a sling - it just means we need to be strategic about it.

The biggest mistake I see? Going from zero to wearing baby for hours on end without building capacity first. Your core and pelvic floor need time to adapt to this new load.

If you’re experiencing any of the warning signs, it doesn’t mean sling carrying isn’t for you - it usually just means you need some targeted rehab to build strength and support first.

That’s exactly what I help with in my practice.

Let’s talk about something that often surprises people: your pelvic floor needs attention after a c-section too.

There’s a common misconception that if you didn’t have a vaginal birth, your pelvic floor escaped unscathed. But research tells us otherwise.

A 2018 systematic review published in the International Urogynecology Journal found that pregnancy itself, not just vaginal delivery, is a significant risk factor for pelvic floor dysfunction. The weight of your baby, hormonal changes, postural shifts, and pressure on your pelvic floor happen for nine months regardless of how your baby is born.

If you had a c-section, you’re also recovering from abdominal surgery. Your core muscles got an incision in them, scar tissue is forming, and the deep connection between your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles may be disrupted.

Whether you had a vaginal birth or a c-section, your body grew and carried a baby. Both paths deserve proper postnatal rehabilitation.

Every new mother benefits from a thorough pelvic floor assessment, regardless of birth story.

The questions I wish I’d asked as a new pelvic health physio 💭

Starting out in pelvic health is exciting... and overwhelming. The gap between training and real clinical practice can feel massive.

Looking back, here’s what I wish someone had told me: → Knowing when NOT to treat is just as important as treatment skills → It’s okay if progress isn’t linear → The emotional load is real - protect your mental health → Asking for help is professional, not weak.

If you’re asking these questions right now, you’re already on the right track 🙌

You don’t have to navigate this alone. My mentorship programme bridges the gap between qualification and confident, sustainable practice. I’ve written a blog post that explain much more about how it can help you

✨ “So far so good!” ✨

This client tried her custom-fitted pessary over the weekend and found relief from discomfort that had been holding her back for years — even through swimming, yoga, Kegels and Hypopressives! 💪💧🧘‍♀️

Pessaries are a simple, non-surgical way to support prolapse and get you moving with confidence again.

📍 Book a fitting with Rosie at Bristol Physiotherapy Clinic and discover what’s possible when your body feels supported.

Would you play at Wimbledon with only half your racket strings? 🎾

Then why jump back into high-intensity training at 6 weeks postpartum when your tissue strength is only 50% recovered?

Rehab is not a setback—it’s your comeback. 💪
