Did you know there are different types of prolapse? 👇

Anterior wall — bladder descending into the front va**nal wall.
Posterior wall — re**um descending into the back va**nal wall.
Multi-compartment — when more than one organ is involved.

Each type presents differently and each woman’s experience is unique. But they all have one thing in common, you don’t have to just live with it.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is one of the most effective first-line treatments for prolapse, regardless of type or severity.

She’s 3 today 🌸

Three years ago I was lying in theatre, playing, waiting to meet our surprise baby for the first time. She was placed straight onto my chest and in that moment, I became a mum. 🥺

Six months ago I did it again. This time a maternal assisted caesarean, reaching down to lift my son into the world myself. Same playlist. Completely different magic. 💙

April is Caesarean Awareness Month and as both a mum of two caesarean babies AND a pelvic floor physio, this topic means everything to me.

Swipe through for what an empowering caesarean can look like, and what your body actually needs in recovery. 💛

Save this if it resonates. Share it with a mama who needs to hear that their birth was enough. 🫶

Low oestrogen doesn’t cause prolapse, but it can make symptoms feel worse 🥴

When tissues are thinner and more sensitive, increases in pressure (like lifting, coughing or exercise) can feel more noticeable.

It’s not just hormones; support, strength and pressure management all play a role 💪

🚫 Think drinking less water will stop leaks?
💧 It can actually make things worse.

Staying hydrated helps keep your bladder calm and healthy 🙌

If you’re leaking, there are better solutions than cutting fluids.

PART 2: When hormones drop, tissues feel it too 👀

There are many reasons why someone may experience pain or discomfort with pe*******on, and your hormones are one 💛

When hormones drop, tissues feel it too 👀

Using a sock vs toilet paper roll to explain what happens to va**nal tissue with and without oestrogen 🫶

Healthy, oestrogen-rush tissue = thick, stretchy and resilient
Low/no oestrogen = thin, dry, fragile, often contributing to pelvic floor dysfunction

Just a quick note: this reel is for education only, not medical advice 🤍

Everybody is different, so if you’re experiencing symptoms or have concerns, it’s always best to chat with your GP or a qualified health professional for personalised support.

Feeling like you always need to pee… even when you just went? You’re not alone.

Frequent urination can be caused by something as simple as too much coffee ☕️ or it could be your body signalling something that needs attention.

From hormones to hydration, stress to infections, there are many reasons this can happen and understanding the difference matters.

✨ The good news? There are simple ways to manage it, and clear signs that tell you when to seek help.

Save this post for later, and if something doesn’t feel right, trust yourself and get it checked 🩷

Let’s talk about these 👇

Signs your pelvic floor may need some attention:
💦 Leaking when you cough, laugh, sneeze or exercise
⚡️ Pain or discomfort using tampons
😫 A feeling of heaviness, pressure or bulging in the va**na
💧 Difficultly fully emptying your bladder
⚡️ Pain during or after s*x

These symptoms are common, but they’re not something you just have to live with.

Your pelvic floor plays a huge role in bladder, bowel, s*xual function and core support. If you’re experiencing any of these, a pelvic health assessment can help identify what’s going on and guide the right treatment 💕

Why do we sometimes assess your pelvic floor in standing? 👀

Because position matters.

When you’re standing, your pelvic floor works against gravity and increased pressure, making it more challenging than lying down. If you’re strong lying down, standing (or sitting) exercises may be the next step to progress your strength 💪

We also check in standing to better assess prolapse and how your anatomy responds to gravity. Since you spend most of your day upright, we want to understand how your pelvic floor functions in real life, not just lying down.

Have questions about your pelvic floor? Send us a DM or book an assessment, we’re here to help. ✨

Postpartum & Painful S*x: Let’s Talk About It 💛

If s*x feels different (or painful) after having a baby, you are NOT alone.

📊 Studies show:
👉Around 40–60% of women report painful s*x at 3 months postpartum
👉Nearly 1 in 5 still experience pain at 6 months
👉Even at 12 months, some people continue to struggle

Common reasons include:
✨ Hormonal changes (especially if breastfeeding)
✨ Vaginal dryness
✨ Scar tissue from tearing or episiotomy
✨ Pelvic floor muscle tension
✨ Emotional & nervous system changes

Painful s*x after birth is common, but it’s not something you just have to “push through.” Support from a pelvic floor physiotherapist can make a huge difference 💛
