That first poo after birth can make or break you! Here are our top tips!

💧 Stay hydrated and eat enough fibre – this helps keep stools soft and easier to pass, reducing strain on your stitches and pelvic floor.
🚽 Use a .aus toilet stool – it positions your body in a more natural squat, helping your bowels empty more effectively.
🌬️ Let your belly bulge – relax your tummy and pelvic floor as you exhale instead of holding your breath or pushing.
🤲 Splint the perineum – use a clean pad or tissue to gently support the perineum or va**nal opening when you poo after a va**nal birth.
💦 Use a .aus bidet or peri bottle to clean – a gentle water rinse helps avoid irritation to stitches or sensitive skin.

These simple steps can make a big difference in comfort and recovery.

Your reminder to do your exercises âś…

02/03/2026

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is more common than you think!

It can show up as:
• Vaginal dryness or burning
• Pain with in*******se
• Bladder urgency or frequency
• Recurrent UTIs
• Irritation, itching or tearing
• Reduced sensation or sexual confidence

GSM happens due to hormonal changes (often around perimenopause and menopause) that affect the va**nal and vulval tissues - making them thinner, drier and less elastic.

The good news? You don’t have to “just put up with it.”

At Peak Flo Physio, pelvic floor physiotherapy can help by:
• Improving blood flow to the pelvic tissues
• Supporting tissue mobility and elasticity
• Guiding safe return to pain-free intimacy
• Addressing bladder symptoms
• Teaching targeted pelvic floor relaxation and strengthening
• Working alongside your GP regarding hormonal options if appropriate

This is common, but also treatable.

If you’re experiencing symptoms, reach out via the link in our bio - we’re here to help.

When you’re doing your pelvic floor exercises, you don’t need to squeeze your abs hard or “brace” like you’re about to lift a couch.

❌ Big tummy pull-ins
❌ Rib and upper abb gripping
❌ Breath holding

Instead, think deep core support, not force.

As you breathe in, let your ribs expand and your belly soften.
As you breathe out, gently lift the pelvic floor and allow your deep core (your transversus abdominis) to naturally switch on - like a corset gently wrapping.

Your breath + pelvic floor + deep core are designed to work together, but no one should be able to see you do your pelvic floor exercises, it’s a secret! 🤫

The pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation, it’s part of a bigger system that includes your breath, spine, hips, and core.

🌸 Struggling with constipation? Sometimes it’s not just the pelvic floor—it could be poor thoracic mobility stopping you from breathing properly and coordinating pressure through your abdomen.

🌸 Experiencing leakage with running? Weak glutes or poor hip control can overload the pelvic floor, making it harder to keep you dry.

🌸 Feeling heaviness or prolapse symptoms? Posture, core endurance, and even how you lift or move day-to-day can make a big difference.

🌸 Pelvic pain? Tightness in your lower back or hip muscles can refer into the pelvis and keep your symptoms going.

Let’s slow it down and squeeze!!

If you’re new here, here is how you do pelvic floor exercises:
🌸 Start by relaxing your belly, jaw and glutes
🌸 Inhale and let the pelvic floor soften and widen
🌸 As you exhale, gently lift the muscles around the va**na and a**s like you’re lifting a blueberry upward
🌸 Think lift and hold, not clench or grip
🌸 Keep breathing and keep your stomach, thighs and butt relaxed!

If you feel pain, tension, bearing down or can’t fully relax between lifts, stop and reset.

If you’re unsure whether to strengthen, relax or do a mix of both, a pelvic health physio can guide you so you’re training the right thing for your body.

Disclaimer
Pelvic floor exercises aren’t right for everyone. Some people need relaxation, coordination, or a mix before strengthening. Doing the wrong thing can actually worsen symptoms.

If you notice pain, pressure, increased tension, difficulty relaxing, or worsening symptoms - stop. Individual assessment matters, and a pelvic health physio can help guide what your pelvic floor actually needs 🤍 if you want to learn more click the link in our bio
