Not all pelvic floors need more tightening 👀

I’m seeing so many pregnant women told to “just do your pelvic floor exercises”… but without any proper assessment, how do you actually know what your body needs for birth or post-partum?

Yes, the pelvic floor needs strength to support pregnancy and recovery — but it also needs to relax and lengthen to allow for a smoother vaginal birth and to optimise its function. A tight pelvic floor can be just as troublesome as a weak one!

Every woman should have an Antenatal & Mummy MOT to understand her body — not just follow blanket advice without assessment.

Diastasis recti rehab isn’t one-size-fits-all… and it never should be.

Here’s the real talk 👇
The pelvic floor is often the missing link. If you’re only focusing on your abs without addressing that deep connection, you’re likely skipping a crucial piece of the puzzle.

Your recovery should be as unique as your body — not a blanket program you found online…

✨ It should consider:
• Your pelvic floor function
• Your breathing + core coordination
• Your diet & nutrition (yes, healing starts from within)
• The right kind of exercise for your stage of recovery
• Scar massage if you’ve had a C-section (this matters more than you think)

You deserve more than generic advice.
You deserve a plan that actually supports your healing.

And if you’ve been told surgery is your only answer, that’s probably wrong too…

Come see us if you are ready to recover your diastasis and approach your core rehab differently 💛

Is your scar thick, raised, or itchy?

Not all scar massage is helpful… and in some cases, it can actually make things worse.

With hypertrophic or raised scars, rubbing up and down along the length of the scar may continue to stimulate collagen production — which can lead to the scar becoming thicker, itchier, and more sensitive over time.

Instead, these scars respond better to:�✔️ Pin & Pull techniques�✔️ Feathering methods

These approaches help to gently remodel the tissue without overloading it or encouraging excess collagen build up.
Scar therapy should be specific to the type of scar you have — because the wrong technique can slow down your healing.

If your scar feels raised, tight, or itchy, it’s worth getting it assessed 💛

Sharp, zapping or aching cl****al pain when you poo?

It can feel scary, random, and honestly… really confusing.

But you’re not imagining it!

Pain during a bowel movement that’s felt in the cl****is can be linked to:�-Pelvic floor tension�-Pudendal nerve irritation�-Postnatal perineal or episiotomy scarring�-Constipation or straining
-Birth-related trauma

Because the nerves that supply the cl****is and pelvic floor are closely connected, tension or irritation in the pelvic region can refer pain to the cl****is when opening your bowels.

And here’s how we helped the women in our clinic: �✔️ Pelvic floor downtraining�✔️ Scar therapy�✔️ Bowel habit retraining�✔️ Nervous system desensitisation�✔️ Manual therapy

These ladies are no symptom free, just how we like it 😌
