Pesky bum grapes (yep… haemorrhoids) always seem to pop up when you least want them to, right? 🍇 💩

Haemorrhoids are swollen veins around the bottom that can cause pain, itching, bleeding, or just that annoying “something’s there” feeling. They often flare up with things like:
🌸 Constipation and straining
🌸 Pregnancy and postpartum changes
🌸 Heavy lifting or high pressure on the pelvic floor
🌸 Long periods of sitting

The good news? You don’t have to just put up with them. With the right pelvic floor strategies, bowel care tips, and gentle treatment, you can reduce symptoms and stop them coming back as often.

If bum grapes are bothering you, our physios can help you manage them in a way that actually works for your body

How does your menstrual cycle an effect the pelvic floor!?

🌸 Follicular phase (first half of your cycle): Rising estrogen levels can increase collagen and muscle elasticity. This often means you might feel stronger, more coordinated, and even notice pelvic floor exercises feel easier.

🌙 Luteal phase (second half of your cycle): Progesterone is higher, and many people feel more bloated, heavy, or experience pelvic floor symptoms like increased urgency, cramping, or pelvic discomfort.

Understanding these natural fluctuations can help you work with your cycle rather than against it – whether that’s training, managing symptoms, or supporting your pelvic floor health.

At Peak Flo Physio, we help you tune into these changes and adapt your pelvic health plan accordingly

Did you know that abdominal separation during pregnancy is normal?

For some women your abbs will come back together quite quickly, whereas for other women it might take a little bit longer. If there remains a separation at six weeks postpartum, you may be diagnosed with diastasis‘s recti or abs separation.

Training your abdominals within their limits during pregnancy can be helpful and then strengthening them again. Postpartum is the optimal way to bring the rectus muscles back together.

Mummy’s thumb” (also known as De Quervain’s tenosynovitis) is one of those sneaky postpartum pains that shows up when you’re doing the most normal things—lifting, feeding, or carrying your baby. It’s inflammation of the tendons along the thumb side of your wrist, and it can make even simple tasks feel sharp and painful.

Here’s what to look out for:
🌸 Pain on the thumb side of your wrist (especially when lifting your baby under their arms)
🌸 Swelling or tenderness around the wrist and thumb
🌸 A sharp “catching” pain when you move your thumb or wrist

Treatment and relief can include:
🌸 Activity modification—adjusting how you lift and feed your baby
🌸 Gentle stretches and strengthening exercises for the wrist and thumb
🌸 Support with taping or a splint to reduce strain
🌸 Hands-on physio treatment to ease pain and improve movement

The good news? With the right support, this pain usually settles. If you’re noticing these symptoms, we can help you manage the load and get you back to lifting and cuddling comfortably.
