POV: Why Does Travelling Cause Constipation and worsening prolapse symptoms?

1️⃣ Routine Disruption – Waking up at odd times or rushing out can mean missing your morning reflex.
2️⃣ Skipping Breakfast – Eating in the morning triggers your bowels. Skipping this can delay movement.
3️⃣ Dehydration – Less water, especially on busy days or flights, leads to harder stool.
4️⃣ Diet Changes – Unfamiliar, low-fibre foods can slow digestion.
5️⃣ Embarrassment – Sharing a space can make you reluctant to go, causing missed opportunities.

5 Tips to Stay Regular While Travelling

1️⃣ Eat Breakfast – Kickstart your bowels with a fibre-rich meal like fruit, oats, or whole grains.
2️⃣ Stick to a Routine – Wake up at your usual time and allow space for movement. A short walk or warm drink helps.
3️⃣ Stay Hydrated – Drink water consistently to keep stool soft.
4️⃣ Pack Fibre Snacks – Carry options like dried fruit or oat bars to support digestion.
5️⃣ Create Bathroom Privacy – Use a spray or run the tap to ease embarrassment. Don’t hold it in—your health comes first.

As a pelvic health physiotherapist, I help women confidently manage prolapse symptoms—even when life takes them out of routine.

🥳🥳🥳Happy New Year to all – my wonderful clients and those of you new to my page!🥳🥳🥳

As we step into 2025, I want to encourage you to make this the year you focus on how your body feels, not just how it looks. In a world where we’re often pushed to prioritise appearance, it’s crucial to remember that how your body feels plays a huge role in your quality of life.

Perhaps you dream of trekking across the Himalayas, returning to running after having a baby, walking your dog without pain, or simply vacuuming your living room without stiffness or a bad back. Maybe you just want to feel stronger, more comfortable, or more balanced in everyday life. These goals – big and small – matter, because they affect how you experience the world.

As a physiotherapist specialising in pain, injuries and women’s health, I support people in connecting with their bodies and improving their function through targeted therapies like acupuncture, scar work, manual therapy, bespoke exercises, and movement strategies. It’s about more than movement – it’s about regaining confidence, freedom, and joy in your body.

Your health isn’t just about how you look – it’s about how you feel, move, and thrive. Our bodies play such a vital role in how we engage with life, with others, and with ourselves.

Let’s make 2025 the year you prioritise your body and wellbeing. If you’re ready to take the first step, I’d love to support you on your journey.

What’s your goal for 2025? Let’s work together to achieve it.

Always here for you ❤️

🌟 What Works for Chronic Back Pain? 🌟

Chronic back pain can feel overwhelming, but there are effective ways to manage it and improve your quality of life. Here are some evidence-based tips and tricks to get you started:

💡 Stay Active: Gentle, regular movement is key. Activities like walking, swimming, running, sports, pilates or yoga can help reduce stiffness and improve strength.
💡 Strengthen: Building functional strength, an effective core builds resilience in your spine and reduces strain on your back.
💡 Mind Your Posture: Small changes, like adjusting your workstation or avoiding prolonged sitting or other prolonged postures, can make a huge difference.
💡 Stress Management: Chronic pain and stress are closely linked. Techniques like mindfulness, breathing exercises, or guided relaxation can help.

As a physiotherapist specialising in pain, injuries, scar rehab and women’s health, I work with you to create a tailored plan that addresses your needs. From hands-on therapy and targeted exercises to education on how to manage flare-ups, I’m here to support your journey to a healthier, more comfortable back.

Always here for you ❤️

Women Are the Backbone of Our Communities, Yet Their Health Care Falls Short

Women juggle immense responsibilities—managing households, raising children, and working full-time—yet their health care often doesn’t meet their needs. Here’s where improvement is critical:

➡ Postnatal Care: Every woman deserves postnatal rehabilitation after childbirth. Recovery is essential for physical and mental health, enabling women to care for their families and return to work.

➡ Post-Surgery Recovery: Major procedures like hysterectomies require proper rehabilitation for full recovery, yet many women receive none.

➡ Pelvic Health: Conditions like incontinence, prolapse, and chronic pelvic pain are often untreated. Physiotherapy—an effective, non-invasive solution—should be accessible without long waits.

➡ Menopause Care: Perimenopause and menopause bring huge challenges. Comprehensive care, including tailored treatments, physiotherapy and lifestyle support, should be standard.

Strong women build strong communities. Postnatal rehab, pelvic health physiotherapy, menopause support, and post-surgical recovery care must become the norm—not a luxury. I think this is the tip of the iceberg 🧊

What do you think? Let’s start the conversation and demand change 💪

Always here for you ❤️

This morning, I was chatting with some amazing physiotherapist friends 💬, and we were talking about the importance of celebrating our wins 🎉. We so often downplay our successes, but when good things happen—when we change lives—we need to shout it from the rooftops!

And then, as if the universe wanted to remind me why I do what I do, this glowing review 💌 landed in my inbox.

This client came to me with pelvic and hamstring issues that were stopping her from doing the things she loves, like aerial exercise 🤸‍♀️ and running 🏃‍♀️. Through tailored physiotherapy, hard work, and dedication, she’s now back to doing what brings her joy, stronger and more confident than ever.

Physiotherapy is life-changing—it doesn’t matter who you are or what challenges you’re facing. There is always something that can be done to help you feel better, move better, and reclaim the activities you love ❤️.

So today, I’m celebrating this incredible win—not just for my client, but for the power of physiotherapy to transform lives 💪.

What’s your next goal? Let’s get you there!

Always here for you ❤️

Struggling with pelvic pain, back pain, shoulder aches, knee niggles, neck tension, or any other type of pain? 😖 As a physio, I know how frustrating pain can be! That’s why I incorporate acupuncture into a lot of rehab to help your pain improve faster and feel better. 🧘‍♀️✨

Acupuncture aims to reduce pain, relax muscles, and boost circulation — giving you the extra lift you need alongside your physio treatment and rehab program. 💪🩹

👏🏻👏🏻❤️🤩 My client said this to me today 🤩❤️👏🏻👏🏻

She’s worked so so hard over the last few months.

When we first met in August 2024, she had severe prolapse symptoms and severe leaking at night on waking when on her way up the stairs to the bathroom. Her prolapse symptoms were making looking after her grandchildren very difficult, especially lifting them and running after them.

It was her third session today and she had NO prolapse symptoms at all and her night time leaking was improving 👏🏻👌🏻

How did we achieve this?
* education and coping strategies and techniques for healthy bladder and bowel habits
* pelvic floor muscle training
* breath work and optimising ribs and diaphragm
* pelvic floor relaxation strategies
* urge suppression techniques
* strengthening with bridging single leg, RDLs, Lunges… progressing to impact exercises and step ups as most of her incontinence happens going up stairs
* advice on lifting and activities of daily living. Eg exhale on the effort, etc.
* plenty of reassurance and encouragement

I’m incredibly proud of her… she’s been so so dedicated and consistent (only missing 2 days of exercises). She’s changed her life for the better… now not worrying about prolapse at all and focussing on her grandchildren without worry.

There’s still work to do on helping her to stay dry at night but with more consistency and time, she’s nearing her goal 👌🏻💪🏼

A huge round of applause 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Please join me in congratulating her below 👇🏻 in the comments ❤️

Urinary and bowel incontinence can significantly impact your quality of life, yet many women don’t seek the help they need.

Around 1 in 3 women who have had children experience urinary incontinence 💦, and 25% experience bowel leakage 💧.

These issues are more common than we think, and they are treatable with physiotherapy 🙌.

Don’t let stigma or shame stop you from getting the support you deserve. You’re braver than you know 💪.

Always here for you ❤️

🙏🏻Some client appreciation this evening 🙏🏻

Thank you for this lovely review… when we have long term conditions, it’s not a quick fix. In these cases it’s vital to understand your condition and how it can be improved over time… this is often a gradual process that takes consistency… especially when it comes to pelvic health.

Knowledge is power 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Always here for you ❤️

📢 C Section Scar Therapy Client Results 📢

This mum was 3 years post C section and was struggling with her core strength and also her body image. She hated her stomach and the creasing that she was seeing above her scar. The scar itself felt tight and pinned in.

She had three sessions of scar massage using the NAQI skin optimising oil and using the device which uses negative pressure to lift the tissues within the scar to reduce tightness, pain, improve scar numbness and reduce overhang. She was taught how to massage her own scar at home which she has been doing religiously.

My client came back feeling so much more confident and her core is sooooo much stronger… she’s in the gym managing really well and most importantly she feels so much better about her scar and is much more confidence.

Scars take 2 years to mature but you can clearly see here that even an older scar can change with treatment 👌🏻❤️

You can find the NAQI products in my instagram bio with a 5% off code.

If you’re interested in the lymphatouch treatment and an assessment of your scar, please get in touch. It’s important to do the right kind of massage for your scar so if always recommend seeing a scar specialist before you start massage if you can.

Always here for you ❤️
