💡 What Is Your Pelvic Floor & Why It Matters – Our New Physiotherapist Can Help 💡
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles at the base of your pelvis that supports important organs like your bladder, bowel, and the va**na. Just like any other muscles in your body, they need to be strong and flexible to work properly.
🩺 When things aren’t working right, you might notice:
• Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, run, or laugh
• Trouble controlling wind or bowel movements
• Pain during s*x or tampon use
• Pelvic pain or erectile dysfunction in men
📊 Did you know?
Around 70% of women will reduce or completely stop leaking with proper pelvic floor muscle training!
🏃♀️ How to take care of your pelvic floor:
• It’s not just about doing “Kegels” — get assessed to see if you need strengthening, coordination, or even relaxation
• Avoid sudden changes to your exercise routine
• Modify activities if you experience symptoms
• Be mindful of posture, weightlifting, and prolonged standing if you have issues like prolapse
👩⚕️ When should you seek help?
If your symptoms are getting worse, impacting your lifestyle, or you’re unsure how to engage the right muscles, it’s time to see a specialist pelvic health physio. They can help tailor a plan just for you.
👉 Don’t suffer in silence — pelvic floor issues are common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of.
