Introducing our new service 'Perineal Massage' at Female First Physiotherapy.

The research supporting perineal massage during late stages of pregnancy is strong!

Research identified perineal massage;
- Reduces the likelihood and severity of tearing
- Reduces the likelihood of an episiotomy
- Improves perineal pain postpartum

Currently perineal massage is incorporated into our birth preparation appointments and you're provided with clear guidance on how to perform the safe and gentle technique.

However, the most common hurdle to completing perineal massage is accessing the area and/or having a willing/available partner to do it for you. So rather than go without, we are here to help!

Bookings can be made online (existing clients only) or via 0493 075 709.

If you'd like to learn more or have any questions please contact Shea on 0493075709 or via admin@femalefirstphysiotherapy.com.au

Wondering what is involved in a consultation?

Your initial consultation typically involves 3 parts: the chat, the assessment and the treatment/management plan.

Any questions or concerns, please get in touch! Naturally these appointments can provoke some nerves, so if you feel chatting through it all first will help then please just let us know.

I love running.
Am I good at it? No. Do I find it incredibly hard? Yes. Does it bring me joy? Absolutely!

As a mum there are so many hurdles to exercise. Time and opportunity are the biggest.

That's why over the years I've created my own little home exercise space - a treadmill, a selection of dumbbells, some bands. Nothing fancy but it does the trick.

However, yesterday I managed to combine three of my favourite things, time with my son, sunshine and movement. I realised that this was a first. I didn't have to set my alarm at a ridiculous hour to fit in exercise before he woke, he didn't have to wait for me to finish my exercises before we could play, we got to have our cake and eat it too.

It highlighted that as parents, prioritisng our own health is darn hard. It's so easy for other things to come first, to hit that snooze button, to say I'll start tomorrow. BUT yesterday proved, it does get easier - on some days at least.

The downside - he wants to do it all again today!

I love this year's theme of Women's Health Week as it encapsulates so much more than just our physical health.

It was a little frightening how far back I had to scroll in my camera roll to find enough photos of myself - but that says it all doesn't it? We as women are so often behind the lens and rarely are the ones that step out in front of it.

This year is the first year in a very long time that I can honestly say I'm saying YES to myself more than ever before.

As women, partners and parents we often say yes to others before ourselves, putting their needs before our own. What if we changed that narrative? How might that look? How might we feel?

Every woman that steps foot into my clinic is saying yes to herself. Yes she deserves investing in her health, yes she deserves a more confident future!

I could write a novel around this but let's be kind to ourselves, recognising how challenging this might be to start and start simple. What's one thing you can say yes to this week, this month, this year?

Very excited to be part of this year's Pregnancy & Post Birth Expo alongside some pretty amazing local businesses.

If previous years are anything to go by it's going to be worth a visit. Plenty of activities for kids, coffee and food vans as well as free workshops & giveaways.

Looking forward to seeing many familiar faces and meeting some new ones too!

Lock the 13th in your diaries!

Friday rant incoming...

Let's not normalise bladder leakage. No matter your age, birth history, menopausal status...incontinence is not normal!

Help is available so please don't settle for less than you deserve.

Get to know the face behind Female First, Shea!

Majority of you are already familiar with my face and my quirky traits but for those of you who are relatively new around here, welcome!

In this space I am first and foremost a Pelvic Health Physio. As a general physio I was lacking passion for my profession and decided to explore the world of Pelvic Health. Almost 10 years on I haven't looked back. It's honestly one of the most rewarding and interesting jobs out there and the baby cuddles are certainly a job highlight!

Away from the clinic, I'm mum to an 8 year old legend who continues to be my best achievement and greatest challenge yet. I never would have thought I’d be a mum to an only child but now I wouldn’t have it any other way. As I say to my son, our family may be small but it is special.

I love:
❤️ Mornings and early bed times
❤️ Learning
❤️ Having a laugh
❤️ Red wine (although my hormones do not!)
❤️ Movement
❤️ Time to myself
❤️ Coffee
❤️ Holidays
❤️ Watching my favourite shows on repeat

I dislike:
🚫 Movies
🚫 Talking on the phone, unless I'm in the car
🚫 Shopping

If you don’t come across me in the clinic you are likely to see me in my basketball or soccer mum zone on the weekends or at one of the local cafes enjoying a strong almond latte.

Looking forward to seeing a few of you in clinic soon!

Thanks for listening,

Shea

Multiple times a day I get clients apologising to me for what is involved in my job.

My response is simple, I'm not here against my will. I chose this profession and I couldn't be happier.

Most would see elements of my job as far from desirable but when you work in this space you get desensitised to it all very quickly. The pros far out weigh the cons.

I'll take the vaginal examinations, the intimate discussions about bowel and bladder function and even the re**al examinations, if it means I can continue to work with women in improving their pelvic health, their confidence, their lives.

It may not be for everyone but I am more than happy to continue educating and empowering women of our community regardless of what the job entails.

It needs to be said too that often these things are unpleasant for the client. It's not the most glamorous way to spend your time. I'd like to think that the little bit of unpleasantness is far outweighed by the knowledge and change you will gain.
