Being able to relax your pelvic floor is just as important as being able to squeeze! This is particularly important for women who experience pain with s3x, urinary urgency, constipation or are preparing for a vaginal delivery.

👩‍🍼Mum Thumb

💥if you’ve had “Mum Thumb” (actually called DeQuervains), you’ll know it’s no where near as cute as the name make it sounds!

Here are some tips for managing it:
🧊ice, ice baby! Chuck an ice pack on at night and when it flares up during the day
🚫avoid activities that hurt… rather than scooping bub up under their arms, try using flat hands (one under their back / head, one on their chest) to lift them
🏋️‍♀️ get those arms strong to decrease strain through the wrist
👩‍⚕️come in and see you physio for massage, taping / bracing, exercise prescription and advice on how to lift and feed bub with less pain!

Perineal tears during childbirth⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Most women will sustain some form of tear in their first vaginal delivery. 1️⃣ in 4️⃣ of these tears will be significant and may cause pelvic floor dysfunction in the future⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⭐1st/2nd degree tear⭐⁠⁠
The majority of women will sustain a 1st degree tear or 2nd degree tear. These tears, whilst initially painful, generally do not increase your risk of pelvic floor dysfunction in the future✅⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⭐3rd/4th degree tears⭐⁠⁠
The 1 in 4 women who sustain a 3rd or 4th degree tear are more likely to experience pelvic floor dysfunction in the future. This is because these tears extend into the muscles around the a**s. Overtime, these damaged muscles can weaken, which can lead to poor control of wind, or faecal 💩 incontinence. Whilst the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction increases, it is important for women to have sustained one of these tears to know that not ALL women will develop these symptoms, and that pelvic floor physiotherapy can help 😀⁠⁠
⁠⁠
👂 Stay tuned to find out what increases your risk of tearing in childbirth and how to protect your pelvic floor⁠⁠

New Years resolution ( #5 of 1000) was to drink more water.

There are approximately one millions reasons to do so, but to relate it to pelvic health... water keeps you regular; and regular, easy to pass bowel movements are kinder to your pelvic floor 💩 your bladder also prefers things to be water downed!

So flavor it 🍋, bubble it ✨, drink it out of over priced bottles from the French alps 🏔 or even consider it straight from the tap 😂 Either way, try and get a bit more in.

How much should you drink?
Everyone is different depending on their size, their activity levels and the climate in which they live. The usual “6-8 glasses” is only an estimate. Instead, use the colour of your urine as a guide. Your urine should be light, straw coloured. If you’re dehydrated, your urine will be darker and you may need to up your water intake 💧
