Did you know the pelvic floor can be too tight as well as too weak?
When these muscles don’t relax properly, it can cause bladder urgency, bowel issues, pain, or even leaking.

That’s why the solution isn’t always “just do kegels.” Sometimes the first step is learning to let go. Physiotherapy can assess what your body actually needs and give you the right tools to restore balance.

“Just do your kegels.” That’s the advice so many women hear when they mention bladder leaks. Here’s the truth: not all leakage comes from weak muscles. Sometimes the pelvic floor is actually too tight or not coordinating properly, and endless kegels can make things worse.

If you’re leaking when you laugh, run, or sneeze, it’s not something you have to live with, and it’s not always about doing more squeezes.

With the right physiotherapy support, you can learn how to release, strengthen, and retrain your pelvic floor for real, lasting control. Because you deserve confidence, not pads in your handbag.

S*x should never hurt. Yet many women silently put up with pain, believing it’s “just part of life” after childbirth, menopause, or certain health changes.

This pain has a name, dyspareunia, and it’s not something you need to accept. Often, the pelvic floor muscles are involved: too much tension, scarring, or poor coordination can make intimacy uncomfortable.

Physiotherapy can release tension, restore function, and help you feel at ease again, because intimacy should be about connection, not discomfort.

Many women hear the word prolapse and think of surgery. Here’s the truth: not every prolapse needs an operation.

Pelvic organ prolapse happens when the muscles and tissues that support your bladder, bowel, or uterus become weakened. Symptoms can feel scary - heaviness, bulging, discomfort, but they’re more common than you think, and often manageable without surgery.

Physiotherapy can help strengthen and retrain those muscles, ease the pressure, and give you back confidence in your daily life.

Menopause changes a lot - including your pelvic floor.

As oestrogen levels drop, the tissues and muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and uterus can weaken. That can lead to:

• Leaking when you laugh or sneeze
• A sudden urge to go - and not making it in time
• Heaviness or pressure down below
• Pain with intimacy

These symptoms are incredibly common, but they’re not “just part of ageing”. They’re a sign that your pelvic floor needs support.

Physiotherapy can help restore function, reduce symptoms, and help you feel confident in your body again, without pads or pills.

A bit of back pain here. A tight hip there. You stretch, you rest, it helps… for a while. But when pain keeps coming back, it’s usually your body asking for more support.

We specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy for men and women - from sports injuries to long-standing aches and pains. We look at you as a whole person, not just a sore joint.

Book in now at Salveo and let’s get to the root of it - properly.

26/08/2025

Did you know that after age 50, we naturally lose muscle mass every year, and it speeds up after menopause?

This loss isn’t just about strength, it affects your balance, your posture, and your ability to stay independent as you age. It can also increase your risk of falls, injuries, and everyday aches and pains.

But here's the good news: you can rebuild strength at any age.

Targeted strength training and physiotherapy can help you:

- Stay steady on your feet
- Improve joint function
- Boost confidence when moving
- Reduce your risk of falling

It's not too late - your body is adaptable. Let’s help it stay strong.

Low back pain is incredibly common, but did you know that 96% of women with back pain also have pelvic floor dysfunction? Your core isn’t just your abs. It’s a team of muscles, including your diaphragm, deep abdominals, back muscles, and yes — your pelvic floor. If one part of the team isn’t doing its job, the others have to pick up the slack.

When your pelvic floor is weak, tight, or not working in sync, it can lead to:
• Lower back tension
• Hip or pelvic pain
• A feeling of instability
• Increased pressure through your spine

Back pain that keeps coming back may not just be about your spine, it could be coming from below. A full-body approach to physiotherapy can get to the root and help you move with ease again.

20/08/2025

That feeling of heaviness, dragging, or pressure down below? It could be a pelvic organ prolapse, and it can feel scary.

But here’s the truth: prolapse doesn’t always mean surgery. At Salveo, we offer holistic, evidence-based care to help you manage your symptoms, build pelvic support, and feel safe in your body again.

Early support makes all the difference. Let’s take the first step together - book your consultation today!

You’ve probably heard about hot flushes and hormone changes during menopause, but what about your muscles?

In the first 10 years after menopause, women can lose up to 30% of their muscle strength. That’s not just about fitness; it can mean joint pain, tendon issues, slower recovery, and an increased risk of falls.

This kind of muscle loss doesn’t just “come with age” - it’s preventable. Strength training, targeted physiotherapy, and smart movement can protect your joints, reduce pain, and help you feel more like yourself again.

Menopause might change your hormones, but it doesn’t have to steal your strength.

14/08/2025

Think it’s too late to deal with your tummy separation? Think again.

Diastasis Recti, the gap that forms in your abdominal muscles during pregnancy, doesn’t always heal on its own. In fact, 40% of women still have it long after giving birth.

And it’s not just about appearance. It can contribute to:

- Core weakness
- Back or pelvic pain
- Prolapse or bladder issues
- That feeling of “still looking pregnant” years later

The good news? It can be treated, even years down the line, with the right support.

You don’t have to live with it.
