It’s the subject nobody wants to mention... but bowel leaks do happen, and to more people than you’d expect!

For some, it’s rushing to the loo and not making it in time, for others, it’s unexpected wind or staining underwear, and we get that it can feel awkward, upsetting, and like you’re the only one… but you’re not.

It might seem random, but physiotherapy can help! It can:
✨ Strengthen (or relax) the muscles around your back passage
✨ Teach you better control and timing
✨ Give you strategies to manage urgency and avoid accidents

Life’s too short to be lived around toilet stops! If this is something you’ve been quietly worrying about, please know support is out there 💜

Have you been feeling a bit wobbly on your feet recently? Maybe you’ve had a stumble, or you’re just noticing you don’t feel quite as steady as you used to, which can be scary! For many people, that worry ends up stopping them from doing the things they enjoy.

Balance isn’t something you just 'lose with age' and have to accept because with the right exercises and support, you can build strength, improve your stability, and feel confident moving again.

Life’s too short to feel nervous every time you get up and walk across the room, so get in touch so we can help you stay active, independent and steady on your feet 🙌🏻

Ever notice those random aches and tendon niggles popping up more since hitting menopause? Achy hips, sore heels, tennis elbow out of nowhere… you’re not imagining it, we promise!

When oestrogen levels drop, our muscles and tendons lose some of their natural support, which is why things can feel stiffer or more painful.

A bit of the right kind of strengthening, some simple exercises, and a bit of support for your pelvic floor can make a big difference!

If you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s and want to move without those annoying aches, try this...
✨ Add some gentle strength work
✨ Keep moving little and often
✨ Don’t ignore the aches!

If your pelvic floor isn’t feeling quite right — maybe you’re dealing with tension, leaking, or that “can’t fully relax” feeling — you might actually be making things harder without realising it.
Here are 3 common habits that can get in the way of healthy pelvic floor function 👇
1️⃣ Constantly holding in your tummy — your pelvic floor mirrors that tension and never gets to let go.
2️⃣ Doing more and more Kegels — without balancing them with relaxation and release.
3️⃣ Sitting too long on the toilet straining to empty your bowels — that downward pressure can increase tightness and irritation over time.
Your pelvic floor needs strength and softness — it should be able to contract, relax, and move freely. 💛
✨ Small shifts in awareness and daily habits can make a huge difference.

Back pain is one of those things nearly everyone deals with at some point, but did you know that for women, it’s often linked to how the pelvic floor is working?

If you think about it, it makes sense as your back, core, and pelvic floor are all part of the same team! If one part isn’t pulling its weight (or is working too hard), the rest feels the strain.

Here are a few small things that can help ease the load on your back and pelvic floor day to day:
✨ Take breaks from sitting, even a quick stand and stretch makes a difference.
✨ Breathe! Holding your breath when lifting or straining puts extra pressure on your core and pelvic floor.
✨ Don’t ignore bladder or bowel issues, as leaks, urgency, or constipation are often connected to back pain.
✨ Gentle movement like walking, swimming, or yoga helps keep everything working together.

Let’s be honest... nobody likes talking about bowel problems! But if you’re dealing with constipation, rushing to the loo, or having accidents with wind or leakage, you’ll know just how much it can affect your life.

It’s not just about the physical side either; it can leave you feeling embarrassed, avoiding social plans, or even too worried to leave the house some days! We totally get it 💜

At Salveo Physiotherapy, we help people strengthen their pelvic floor, learn simple techniques to make going to the loo easier, and take back control. It’s amazing how much lighter life feels when you’re not always worrying about your bowels!

The most important thing to remember is that you're not alone, and we're here for you. You can get started here: https://heyor.ca/kw1Iug

Here’s something not many people talk about... in the first 10 years after menopause, women can lose up to 30% of their muscle strength! 😩

It's not just about feeling a bit weaker, as it can lead to tendon problems, more aches and pains, and even increase the risk of falls later on.

But before you panic, you absolutely can rebuild strength, even after menopause, because the body is amazing at adapting when you give it the right kind of challenge.

It might mean some gentle resistance exercises, working on balance, moving more regularly, or pelvic floor support, but before you know it, you’ll be protecting not just your muscles but your overall mobility and confidence 🥳

This , we want to remind you that every woman’s menopause journey is different, but no one should feel they have to go through it alone 💜

The changes that come with menopause can feel overwhelming and can leave you feeling like your body has changed overnight.

At Salveo Physiotherapy, we understand the feeling of bladder leaks, urgency, prolapse symptoms, achy joints, muscle weakness, tendon pain, or even pelvic pain that makes daily life harder.

But the important thing to remember is that with the right physiotherapy, it’s possible to improve muscle strength, support pelvic health, and manage pain, so you can feel more in control of your body again!

Support is available, and change is possible, so book a free telephone consultation to find out how physiotherapy could help you 🙌🏻

People often hear 'pelvic floor exercises' and assume it’s just about strength, but the truth is that too much tension, poor coordination, or an overactive pelvic floor can also cause bladder or bowel issues... can we ever win?!

Well, yes, we can! 🙌

Physiotherapy can make all the difference, and a good women’s health physio doesn’t just hand you a sheet of kegels; we assess how your pelvic floor is working, whether it needs strengthening, releasing, or retraining.

And in the meantime, here are three pointers about how a 'good' pelvic floor performs:
🌸 Enough strength to hold things where they should be
🌸 Ability to relax the muscles when needed
🌸Timing & coordination (so that coughing, sneezing, laughing don’t catch you out)

The word prolapse can sound really scary, can’t it? A lot of women panic when they first hear it, imagining the worst, and it's usually that fear alone that stops people from reaching out for help.

The thing is, prolapse is common and it can happen at any stage of life (though pregnancy, childbirth and menopause make it more likely), and it doesn’t always mean surgery is necessary!

Strengthening the pelvic floor, adjusting certain habits, learning how to lift or move differently, and sometimes using support devices, can all make a huge difference 🙌🏻💜

09/10/2025

It’s not the easiest topic to bring up, but let’s be honest... if s*x is painful, it can put a real strain on your life!

For lots of women, it feels awkward to even admit, so they quietly avoid intimacy or make excuses, but it's definitely not something you just have to crack on with.

Often, the cause is something like pelvic floor tension, scar tissue from childbirth, hormonal changes, or muscles that just aren’t working in sync.

Physio might not be the first thing you think of for this kind of problem, but it can genuinely make a huge difference.

With gentle techniques and the right support, pain can ease, confidence comes back, and intimacy feels natural again, which is something you deserve 💜

Pregnancy and life after birth can be tough... a sore back, aching hips, a tummy that doesn’t feel quite the same, all while you’re running on empty and taking care of your baby!

Honestly, so many mums feel the same, but you don't have to just put up with it; with the right support, things really can get better.

At Salveo Physiotherapy, we help with all the aches, pains and niggles that come with pregnancy and postnatal recovery.

No matter if it's pelvic girdle pain, back problems, C-section healing or tummy muscle separation, we’ll give you advice, exercises, and hands-on treatment to help your body heal properly 💜

You deserve to feel strong, supported and like yourself again! Book now on our website: https://heyor.ca/aswsXd
