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 💛
