🤍 Ovarian cancer awareness⁠
⁠
Around 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK each year, and only around 1 in 3 women live 10 years or more after diagnosis, according to .⁠
⁠
Symptoms can often be vague or easily overlooked, which is why awareness matters.⁠
⁠
These may include⁠
🤍 Persistent bloating⁠
🌸 Pelvic or abdominal pain⁠
🤍 Feeling full quickly when eating⁠
🌸 Changes in bladder or bowel habits⁠
⁠
Having these symptoms does not mean something serious is wrong. But if they are new, persistent, and happening frequently, it is important to seek medical advice.⁠
⁠
A helpful guide is if symptoms are present more than 12 times in a month, or are not settling, it is worth getting checked.⁠
⁠
At Alma, we often support people with pelvic symptoms that can feel confusing or difficult to talk about. Knowing what feels normal for your body, and when something has changed, is an important part of pelvic health.⁠
⁠
If you have questions or concerns about pelvic symptoms, you are not alone, and support is available 🤍

RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT 🔍⁠

Keeping up to date with current research is a core part of how we practise at Alma.⁠
⁠
We regularly review new evidence to help inform our assessments, clinical reasoning, and the advice we give our patients, always alongside individual needs and lived experience.⁠
⁠
Research helps guide care, but it never replaces listening, assessment, and personalised support.⁠
⁠
If you would like evidence informed, thoughtful pelvic health care, you can book in with our physios for birth prep session via the link in our bio 🤍

PELVIC PHYSIO CAN HELP!⁠⁠
Frustratingly, it still takes an average of 8-9 years for diagnosis for endometriosis according to Endometriosis UK .uk.⁠⁠
What many people don’t realise, is that pelvic physiotherapy and pelvic floor treatment can help manage secondary pain in the body (from endometriosis & adenomyosis). It can be helpful if you’re en route to diagnosis, or even pre and post surgery. ⁠⁠
Once you have some extra tools to add to your tool-kit, like how to relax your pelvic floor, it can be incredibly helpful to help manage pain.⁠

Why is womens’ health important?

Your pelvic floor does more than you think! We rely on it when we laugh, cry, sneeze or do sports to make sure we don’t have any unwanted leakage downstairs.

Liz has a masters in physiotherapy, is trained in medical acupuncture and pilates and has worked in France. In France, at least 10 physiotherapy sessions are provided after birth. Unfortunately this is not always the case in the UK!

Frustrated with underfunded NHS resources and with inspiration taken from the brilliant post-natal care in France, Liz is on a mission to make womens’ health important and as standard for women in the UK.

Everybody is different and your treatment program will be tailored to your needs. For this reason, the first session is always a little longer to allow time for planning and make sure you’re happy with what to do next.
