➕Sophie Takes the Stage at The Australian Physiotherapy Scientific Conference!➕

🚀 Our very own Sophie presented not once, but twice at the National APASC Conference recently, sharing her research that could transform how endometriosis is managed across Metropolitan Adelaide 🩷

Here are some of the eye-opening insights she delivered:

✨ The best care for endometriosis is multidisciplinary: physios, GPs, specialists, dietitians and more, all working together

✨ Yet in reality, people often receive fragmented care and miss out on the support they need

✨ Medicare Team Care Plans could help people access ongoing treatment, but they’re not being used often enough

✨ Many health professionals still want more confidence and clarity in diagnosing and managing endometriosis

🙌 The best part? Sophie’s research shows that physiotherapy-led education is a powerful way to fix this, improving knowledge, boosting collaboration, and helping women receive consistent, compassionate and evidence-based care from the start.

💙 We’re incredibly proud to have Sophie leading the way in this space, creating meaningful change for women living with endometriosis right here in SA and beyond.

➕Sophie is speaking at the Australian Physiotherapy Association Scientific Conference this month!➕

😄 We’re so so proud of our very own Sophie who, fresh off completing her APA titling in women’s health, will be speaking at the Australian Physiotherapy Association Scientific Conference (APASC25) in Adelaide!

🙏 A passionate advocate for pelvic health, Sophie will be presenting two sessions on endometriosis:

🎗️ Endometriosis Management: Insights, Barriers & Gaps in Current Care
🎗️ Improving Endometriosis Management via an Educational Presentation to Facilitate Behaviour Change amongst GPs

🙏Sophie’s work is vital in driving evidence-informed, patient-centred care for those with endometriosis.

🚀 We are STOKED to see her leading this important conversation.

If you’re attending APASC25, be sure to say hi! 💛

➕JAW PAIN WORKSHOP AT HEALTH PARTNERS DENTAL➕

🦷 Today, our Jaw Physios, Kelsey & Darcy, teamed up with the awesome crew at Health Partners Dental to dive into all things TMD (that means jaw pain and dysfunction).

👉 Here’s what we unpacked:

🔹 The different types of TMD and what’s really behind them
🔹 How your neck, posture, and even stress can mess with your jaw
🔹 The surprising role of sleep and teeth grinding (bruxism)
🔹 How physios can help ease pain, improve movement, and keep things on track long-term

💡 We also explored how dentists and physios can join forces to tackle jaw issues from every angle and deliver better outcomes for patients.

🙏 A huge shoutout to the team for having us, it’s always a blast sharing knowledge and sparking new ideas!

👉 Think your team could benefit from a workshop like this? Feel free to shoot us a message ✌️

➕ Is Your Pelvic Floor Weak… or Tight? 🤔 ➕

Leaks, urgency or pelvic pain? Most think they need to “squeeze” more — but sometimes the real issue isn’t weakness… it’s tightness! 😮

💡 What’s the difference?

✅ Weak Pelvic Floor
👉 Muscles are underactive, lengthened, or can’t generate a proper squeeze
👉 Can’t support your bladder, bowel or pelvic organs effectively
👉 Symptoms: leaks, heaviness, prolapse
👉 Needs: Strengthening (Kegels) done correctly

✅ Tight (Overactive) Pelvic Floor
👉 Muscles are always tense and can’t relax
👉 May feel ‘strong’ but are overworked and dysfunctional
👉 Symptoms: pain with s*x, trouble emptying bladder/bowel, urgency, or leaking
👉 Needs: Releasing and relaxation before strengthening

🔍 Same Symptoms, Different Causes

Both can lead to:
1️⃣ Bladder issues (urgency, frequency, leaking)
2️⃣ Bowel issues (constipation, incomplete emptying, wind/stool leakage)
3️⃣ Sexual symptoms (pain, pressure, leakage during s*x)

🔑 The underlying cause — tightness vs weakness — needs different treatment.

✨ Why a Pelvic Physio Assessment Matters

You can’t tell just by guessing — this is where an individual pelvic floor exam with a qualified physio can help!

📌 Kegels for tight muscles can worsen symptoms
📌 Sometimes breathwork & stretching are the answer — not more squeezes

💬 Takeaway
✔️ Not all pelvic floors need Kegels
✔️ Sometimes RELAXATION comes before STRENGTH
✔️ The right exercises make all the difference
