Everything you should know about pessaries 💙

A pessary is a small, removable device designed to support the pelvic organs and help manage pelvic organ prolapse, a condition that affects many women. Pessaries come in a range of shapes and sizes and are made from soft, medical-grade silicone to ensure comfort and safety.

They work by gently supporting the pelvic floor, helping to relieve symptoms such as feelings of heaviness or bulging in the va**na, pelvic pressure or discomfort, and difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel. For many people, a pessary can be an effective, non-surgical way to stay active, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life.

Pessaries are easy to manage at home and can be inserted and removed by yourself once you know the technique. They do not prevent sexual activity and are often a great option for those who wish to delay or avoid surgery.

If you would like to know more, book in with one of our physiotherapists by calling 9431 2530 or online via our website.

Vulval care is often overlooked, but this delicate area deserves the same attention as your face. The skin of the v***a, va**na, and perineum is sensitive and needs gentle care to stay healthy and comfortable. Stick to fragrance-free products, breathable fabrics, and simple hygiene to keep everything feeling fresh and protected. 💙

Your pelvic floor does more than you might think 💙

It plays a vital role in supporting your bladder, uterus and bowel, helping everything function as it should. Looking after these muscles can reduce the risk of issues like incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, and it also contributes to more comfortable, enjoyable sexual experiences.

Just like any other muscle in the body, your pelvic floor needs regular exercise to stay strong and responsive. But it’s not just about strength, it’s also about coordination, relaxation and proper technique.

If you’re unsure where to start, a pelvic floor physio can guide you with personalised support to help you move, feel and function at your best.

Have you booked your six-week postpartum pelvic floor check? After pregnancy and birth, your pelvic floor muscles go through significant strain, which can sometimes lead to weakness, bladder or bowel changes, or discomfort.

A check with our physiotherapist helps assess how your pelvic floor is healing, spot any early concerns, and provide personalised exercises to strengthen your muscles. This can prevent long-term issues such as incontinence or prolapse and make your recovery smoother.

Taking care of your pelvic health now helps your body regain strength and confidence for everyday activities, exercise, and intimacy.

Healthy bowels play an important role in overall pelvic health, comfort, and wellbeing. Small daily habits can make a big difference to how your digestive system functions and how supported your pelvic floor feels.

Responding to your body’s natural urges, maintaining a comfortable toilet posture, and avoiding straining all help reduce unnecessary pressure through the pelvic floor. Staying well hydrated and gradually increasing fibre intake supports softer, more regular bowel movements.

It’s also important to recognise that bowel function and pelvic floor coordination are closely linked. Difficulties such as constipation, straining, or a feeling of incomplete emptying may indicate that your muscles are not working together efficiently.

If you’re experiencing ongoing concerns, a pelvic floor physiotherapist can provide individualised assessment, education, and practical strategies to support healthy, confident bowel habits.

Do you find yourself waking multiple times during the night, always checking where the nearest toilet is, or struggling to make it in time when you get home? These can be common signs of bladder urgency and urinary incontinence. While it may feel frustrating or difficult to talk about, it is more common than many people realise and support is available. With the right guidance, these symptoms can be effectively managed and improved, helping you feel more confident in your day to day life. 💙

Mastitis can come on quickly, but early support makes a real difference.

If you’re experiencing breast pain, redness, swelling, or flu-like symptoms, it’s important to act early. Mastitis is often linked to inflammation and reduced milk flow, and it doesn’t always mean infection.

At Womankind Physiotherapy, we prioritise seeing mastitis patients within 24 hours, and very often on the same day you call. Early, targeted care can help settle symptoms faster and support your breastfeeding journey.

Our approach includes:
• Therapeutic ultrasound to help reduce inflammation and improve milk flow
• Gentle lymphatic drainage techniques to ease swelling and congestion
• Education around feeding, positioning, and breast care
• Individualised advice to support recovery and prevent recurrence

If you think you may have mastitis and would like to book in an appointment, you can call the clinic on 9431 2530 or visit our website.

Endometriosis affects around 1 in 9 women and girls, yet it often takes years to receive a diagnosis. Many people experience pain and discomfort without knowing the cause, which can affect daily life. If you think you may be experiencing symptoms or have been diagnosed, call us on 94312530 or visit our website to book an appointment with our team. 💙

Did you know 1 in 4 Australian women experience prolapse… so why is no one talking about it?

It is common, but that does not mean you have to live with it.

Many women notice symptoms like heaviness, a dragging feeling, a bulge, or discomfort, yet feel unsure where to turn or hesitate to speak up.

The truth is, help is available and it can make a real difference.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a safe and effective way to manage prolapse. With the right guidance, you can improve muscle strength, support your pelvic organs, and feel more comfortable in your body again.

At Womankind Physiotherapy, our experienced and compassionate physios create tailored treatment plans designed around you.

You are not alone and you do not have to put up with it. 💙

If you’ve experienced pelvic girdle pain (PGP), you’ll know the persistent ache in your lower back and pelvis that can flare during everyday activities like walking, bending, or getting dressed. PGP occurs when the joints and muscles around the pelvis become unstable or overstrained, often during pregnancy.

Physiotherapy can be a highly effective way to manage PGP. Gentle manual techniques can ease joint stiffness and release muscle tension, while targeted exercises strengthen the pelvis and improve stability. Physiotherapists also provide advice on posture, safe movement, and practical pain management strategies, including the use of support belts.

To book a session with one of our physiotherapists, please call 94312530 or visit the clinic’s website to book online. 💙
