You just realised your symptoms ARE pelvic floor dysfunction. Not you falling apart. Here's what you need to know immediately… 👀

First, breathe. You're not broken. You're not alone. You finally have an answer.

Now here's what to do next:

Stop doing random Kegels. Seriously. Until you know whether your pelvic floor is too weak or too tight, you could be making things worse. About 25% of women do Kegels incorrectly anyway.

Find a pelvic floor physiotherapist. Not a general physio. Not your GP. Someone who specialises in pelvic health and does internal assessment. This is the gold standard. You deserve proper care.

Learn about your options. Manual therapy, breathing techniques, release work, strengthening (when appropriate), lifestyle changes. Get informed so you can make decisions that are right for your body.

Track your symptoms. What triggers them, when they're worse, what helps. This information is gold for you and your practitioner.

Stop accepting "this is just part of being a woman." It's not. Leaking after babies isn't inevitable. Prolapse symptoms can improve. Pain with intimacy is treatable. These are medical issues with real solutions.

Be patient with yourself. Your pelvic floor didn't get this way overnight. It won't heal overnight either. But it CAN get better.

You have more power here than you realise. Everything I know about navigating this is available to you.

7 pelvic floor symptoms your doctor probably won't mention… 👀

You know about leaking when you sneeze. You've heard about urgency. What about these:

Feeling like you're sitting on a golf ball. Needing to wee again 10 minutes after you just went. Pain during or after intimacy that wasn't there before. Constipation that came out of nowhere. Lower back pain that won't go away. A tampon that won't stay in place. Feeling like something is falling out when you stand too long.

Every single one of these can be connected to pelvic floor dysfunction. Every single one sends women to multiple specialists searching for answers. And most never hear the words "pelvic floor physio" until they've exhausted every other option.

When you don't know what's happening, you think you're falling apart. You think you're a hypochondriac. You think this is just what happens after babies or during menopause.

Something is happening. Your pelvic floor is trying to tell you it needs attention. This doesn't mean you're broken. It means you need the right assessment.

The right information changes everything. It helps you connect the dots. It helps you advocate. It helps you find solutions instead of just buying more pads.

I share the stuff your doctor isn't telling you. The real science. The practical tools. The conversations we should all be having.

That "bulge" you just noticed didn't happen overnight, your pelvic floor has been screaming for help for YEARS...
ㅤ
Here's what nobody tells you: Prolapse starts YEARS before you feel anything 😰
ㅤ
By the time you notice that pressure or heaviness, your pelvic floor has been silently failing for months or even years.
ㅤ
The shocking truth?
ㅤ
It's preventable in most cases, but the medical system waits until you need surgery to address it 💸
ㅤ
Early signs they don't warn you about:
🚨 Subtle pelvic pressure after long days
🚨 Feeling "different" down there but can't explain it
🚨 Needing to p*e right after you just went
🚨 Lower back ache that comes and goes
🚨 S*x feels slightly different or uncomfortable
ㅤ
Why don't doctors catch this early?
ㅤ
Because there's no profit in prevention. The medical industry makes BILLIONS from prolapse surgeries that could have been prevented with proper education 💰
ㅤ
Your body gives you warning signs.
ㅤ
The tragedy is that nobody teaches you what to look for until it's "too late" for conservative treatment.

Struggling with posture, back pain, or hip discomfort…

The culprit might be pelvic misalignment, something most people overlook…

Your pelvis is the foundation of your body. When it’s out of alignment, it can cause:

- Back and hip pain
- Tightness in your legs and lower back
- Poor posture and core instability
- Pelvic floor dysfunction

Gentle, targeted exercises can restore alignment, release tension, and improve posture, making daily movement easier and more comfortable.

💡 Tip: Consistency + mindful movement is key. Small daily habits can make a huge difference.

You're allowed to say no…

When it comes to your pelvic floor, you don't have to accept everything you've been told 👇

❌ Kegels for every problem

Kegels aren't the answer if your pelvic floor is already too tight. Sometimes you need release work, not more squeezing.

❌ Pushing through pain during s*x

Pain is not normal. It's your body telling you something is wrong. You deserve comfortable, enjoyable intimacy, not something you just endure.

❌ Straining to p**p

This puts serious pressure on your pelvic floor and increases prolapse risk. There's a better way, and it starts with positioning and relaxation.

❌ Holding your p*e "just in case"

This trains your bladder to be overactive. Go when you actually need to, not out of habit or fear.

❌ Being told leaking is normal after kids or after 40

I help women take back control of their bladder, bowel, and pelvic health through evidence-based physiotherapy ✨

If pe*******on feels impossible, it’s not just in your head… 😳

Your body is trying to protect you, and tension in your pelvic floor and surrounding muscles is often the culprit. Gentle, consistent movement can help retrain your body to relax. Here are 3 expert-backed moves from a pelvic floor therapist:

💫 Figure 4 – releases tight hips, which often pull on your pelvic floor

💫 Happy Baby – gently opens your hips and relaxes your pelvic floor

💫 Frogger – stretches inner thighs and pelvic muscles, creating space for relaxation

Key tip: Consistency > force. Forcing anything can increase tension. Start small, breathe deeply, and retrain your body to feel safe.

✨ Bonus: Pair these stretches with mindful breathing or visualization to enhance relaxation and awareness of your pelvic floor.

Straining on the toilet every single time?

It might not be your diet, it could be your pelvic floor…🚨
ㅤ
Here’s what to look for:
ㅤ
1️⃣ Never feeling fully empty
2️⃣ Pushing hard just to go
ㅤ
Here’s why: instead of relaxing, the pelvic floor sometimes tenses during a bowel movement, blocking the pathway. That means your muscles are working against you.
ㅤ
What can you try today?
ㅤ
✔️ Sit with your feet on a stool - this opens your hips and makes release easier
✔️ Breathe deep into your belly - tension melts when the diaphragm and pelvic floor move together
✔️ Practice letting go - it’s about releasing, not forcing
ㅤ
Constipation doesn’t have to control your life. When you understand the pelvic floor connection, you can break the cycle and finally feel relief.

Pregnant and tired of hearing “just do Kegels”…😩

Here’s the truth: traditional Kegels only teach QUEEZING. But for birth, your pelvic floor also needs to LENGTHEN, RELEASE, and coordinate with your breath 🌟

Here are 5 game-changing exercises that actually prepare your body for birth:

1. DEEP SQUATS 🦵

Opens the pelvis, strengthens glutes, and teaches your pelvic floor to stretch. Tip: Hold 30–60 seconds daily, breathing deeply into your belly.

2. CAT-COW STRETCHES 🐱

Mobilizes spine and pelvis while syncing breath to pelvic movement. Helps release tension that can make pushing harder.

3. PELVIC TILTS 🌊

Increases pelvic mobility, relieves back pain, and engages your deep core. Perfect for prepping for labor positions.

4. SUPPORTED CHILD'S POSE 🧘‍♀️

Gently stretches pelvic floor muscles, calms the nervous system, and encourages relaxation, essential for birth readiness.

5. PRENATAL BEAR HOVER 🐦

Builds core stability while training pelvic floor coordination, teaches your muscles how to work and relax together during labor.

💡 Pro tip: Consistency + mindfulness beats force. Focus on breathing into your pelvic floor and moving slowly to retrain your body safely.

If you can't remember the last time intimacy felt comfortable, keep reading… 👀

Your pelvic floor has probably changed. And no one told you what that actually means or what to do about it.

After childbirth, during perimenopause, with hormonal changes, your pelvic floor muscles can become tight and guarded. They're protecting you. But that protection creates pain.

This isn't just "dryness." It's often pelvic floor muscle tension. The muscles are gripping. They can't relax. And every attempt at intimacy triggers more guarding.

So if intimacy has become something you avoid, something you dread, something you endure instead of enjoy, this is likely why.

Here's the part that makes me frustrated: it's very treatable.

Pelvic floor release work can retrain these muscles to relax. Internal massage techniques help. Dilator therapy works for many women. Breathing exercises that target the pelvic floor make a real difference.

You have choices. You don't have to accept painful intimacy as your new reality. I've helped women who thought they'd never enjoy intimacy again find their way back.

It's not about forcing your body. It's about teaching it that it's safe. That takes time. That takes the right guidance. That takes someone who understands. It's treatable. There's another way.
