Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal.
Far too many girls and women put up with period symptoms that seriously impact daily life — thinking it’s just part of being female.

Pain, heavy bleeding, long gaps between periods, or delays in starting your period can all be signs that something’s up.

If your period is interfering with your quality of life, it’s worth a conversation with your doctor. You don’t have to just “get on with it.”

🌟 Pelvic organ prolapse is common — but that doesn’t mean you have to live with the symptoms.

Swipe through to learn 5 signs of prolapse that often get brushed off as “normal” — but are actually your body’s way of asking for support. 🙌

From that heavy, dragging feeling to trouble with tampons or bowel changes… these symptoms deserve attention, not silence.

💬 Been told “just do kegels” or “wait until it gets worse”? There’s so much more we can do. Pelvic health physio can help you feel strong, informed, and in control.

Helping women with painful s*x is NOT just about handing them dilators and saying “good luck.” 🙅‍♀️

✨ True pelvic health work is nuanced, personal, and yes — sometimes even fun.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:
🧠 Explain pain in ways that click
👐 Use hands-on therapy with confidence
🎯 Explore goal-driven movement and s*xual strategies
🔊 Talk about vi*****rs, positions, and pleasure without flinching
🫶 Create safety, laughter, and trust — because healing can feel good too

This is the kind of support your clients deserve.
And the kind of training that leaves you thinking,
“Why didn’t we learn this sooner?”

🎓 For pelvic health physios ready to go beyond the basics.

Did you know there are different types of pelvic organ prolapse?
Each type depends on which organ is shifting downward:

1️⃣ Cystocele – bladder prolapse
2️⃣ Rectocele – re**um bulging into the va**na
3️⃣ Uterine prolapse – uterus dropping
4️⃣ Enterocele – small bowel prolapse (not pictured)
5️⃣ Vaginal vault prolapse – top of the va**na falls (post-hysterectomy) (not pictured)

It’s more common than you think, and you’re NOT alone!
Knowledge is power — let’s break the stigma.

Our bodies remember. The way we brace ourselves in stress, the way childbirth changes us, the way we hold tension without realising. Pelvic pain is not just physical, it's emotional too. What if, instead of gripping tighter we learned it was OK to let go?

I'm in Autumn right now, BS tolerance is low and I am taking things slow!
What inner season are you in? What is this season good for?

Sometimes it feels as though we need to be constantly ON, OUTGOING AND HAPPY in this busy life. This is exhausting and at some point it can become too much. Look at the seasons, we don't say
'Hey Winter, what's wrong? You're kinda pale' or
'Wow Autumn, all that stormy energy is a bit much'

If we can become aware of our own inner seasons, we can be more accepting of each change as it comes
