For female pelvic health physiotherapists, real-time ultrasound imaging (RTUS) is considered the gold standard for assessing how this muscle actually functions.

Here’s why 👇
🔎 It allows us to see the muscle working in real time�Rather than relying purely on symptoms or manual assessment, ultrasound lets both you and us directly observe the external a**l sphincter contracting and relaxing. This gives us clear, objective information about muscle function.
📊 It improves assessment accuracy�Some patients can feel like they are contracting correctly, but the muscle may actually be under-recruiting, over-recruiting, or not coordinating properly. Ultrasound allows us to confirm exactly what is happening.
🧠 It enhances client understanding�Seeing the muscle work on screen provides powerful visual feedback. Clients can immediately understand what a correct contraction looks like, which can significantly improve rehabilitation outcomes.
🩺 It helps guide personalised treatment�Whether someone is experiencing faecal incontinence, urgency, post-obstetric injury, or difficulty coordinating their pelvic floor, ultrasound helps us tailor treatment based on what we see — not guesswork.
✨ It supports evidence-based pelvic health care�Using imaging alongside clinical assessment ensures we are providing the highest standard of care and targeting the right muscles in the right to help our clients regain confidence, control, and function.

If you’re experiencing bowel control issues or pelvic floor concerns, you’re not alone — and effective assessment is the first step toward recovery.

Here at Blizard Physiotherapy Jodie and Jenny our specialist female pelvic health physiotherapists have totted it up and assess a 1000 vagina’s/external a**l sphincters every year! Be reassured, all vulva’s and bottoms are unique, it is the functioning that really matters to us and you for health and longevity.

Keep coming back here for more information on the equipment and gadgets we use to assess and treat female pelvic health issues.

Team Blizard Race Report
Once again we celebrate another fantastic week of results from the community.
We are kicking off this week’s report from the ever popular North Derbyshire run No Walk In The Park 5k held in Chesterfield.
There were some eye catch performances from people in fine form and new personal best times from Mark Trolley and Bev Warwick to mention just two of the many that ran well.
Changing surfaces to the cross country saw the Inter Counties cross country championships take place and once again that man in form Tom Shaw put in another fine performance over the mud.
A little nearer to home saw the running of the Wickersley 10k road race where Portugal bound Andy Kitchen saw a welcome return to racing alongside fine runs from long time coached athletes Brenda King and Chris Griffiths while regular on the Friday night class Simon Oak excelled in a slightly over distance for him!
We have several Hull based athletes all currently running very well and there may be something in the water that is helping them but we guess it is more like some decent training!
That form continued on Sunday over in the Chester 10k where East Hull athlete John Podgornyi ran a brand new pb after meeting us all in the Park run the day before!
Each week we give an athlete the “Run of the Week” and this week it goes to coached athlete Sarah Hunter who raced the Cambridge half marathon.
Sarah had a sterling run to finish 4th lady overall and just miss her personal best by a few seconds and claim the award this week.
As always a massive well done to everyone who raced and that you to everyone who sent their results in as it really helps us to pull the results together.
Big weekend ahead with some local races taking place and until next week……keep training!

Great to see more athletes in the clinic this week looking to use science to help train more efficiently.

Good to see you both at Hull park run too!

Looking forward to seeing how your seasons progress guys.

Team Blizard Race Report
We have a massive race report for you this week and when Coach Tune opened his laptop yesterday and started making a list of who ran what he ended up with a list of over 50 athletes that raced over the last week!
Clearly we cannot name everyone so let us start off with saying a “Massive Well Done” to everyone who raced and please don’t be offended if we don’t name everyone as we tried to make a summary of the results!
Kicking off the action we saw former “Work Experience Boy" Cam Reilly smash his personal best in the Battersea 5k to break a massive barrier and going well under 14mins for the 5k event stopping the clock at an incredible 13.51mins.
A little further afield over in Japan coached athlete Sarah Watson collected her latest Major medal in the Toyko marathon and will soon have her full set!
A little less glamorous surroundings of the next round of the cross country league at Manton near Worksop saw team mates Tom Shaw and Tamara Hazlehurst both run well to help take a clean team sweep for the club.
There were several 10k races taking place over the weekend and the first one to report from was the hilly Roberttown 10k where Dewsbury coached athlete Madeline Stansfield took the V70 1st place.
The super fast Trafford 10k has over the years always attracted a fast field and this year was no exception.
Portugal bound Danny James gave another fine performance as did former Portugal attendee Shane Grace!
Edinburgh based coached athlete Alice Fearn took the U20 win in her fastest time on English soil and is knocking on the door for England representation as her good form continues.
A little nearer home saw the North Lincs 10k take place at Scunthorpe that finishes on the athletic track of Quible Park.
So many of you ran to mention everyone but there were three standout performances that we wanted to give a special mention to, all three are coached athletes and the training they have put in recently was rewarded with lifetime personal best for Joe Shepardson, Jacob Walton and Toby Bellis just to highlight a few.
We move up again is distance to the half marathon for our final few races and we start with the picturesque Anglesey half marathon where long time supporter of the clinic Susie Hinchcliffe had a fine run to take the V50 win while the not so picturesque but very fast Middlesboro’ half marathon saw fine runs from more coached athletes in Nick “Redcar” Williams and Romany Tune who was using it as part of her marathon training for the London marathon in April.
The final race to report from which once again is a half marathon was the North Lincs half marathon which was held at the same time as the 10k.
Once again there simply were too many of you running to mention everyone but we have once again highlighted a few performances in:
East Hull Massive pbs from Olly Sizer and Jack Potter
James Biggin 2nd V50
Dean Thomas ANOTHER pb
Mark Trolley massive new pb
Friday night class attendee Anna Thompson running her fastest half in 3 years V60
However each week we like to select what we think deserves a special shoutout and award a performance we consider “Run of the Week” and this week it goes to Wayne Singleton who smashed his personal best and stopped the clock in an impressive 72mins and took the V45 win!
As always a massive thanks to all those who sent in their race results as it really helps us and let’s keep this fantastic vein of results going.
Until next week……keep training!

Team Blizard Race Report
We have a very international flavour to our race report for you this week but more about that later as we take a community round up of the last week and celebrate another great week of racing.
Kicking off the report we head straight off-road on Saturday and up the A1 to Sedgefield where it was the National cross country championships which for many is the highlight of the cross country calendar.
Training partner to many of you and Worksop Harrier Captain Tom Shaw had a fine run cutting through the field and this was after stopping off on the way up to do the Darlington Park run!
A special mention needs to go to Bill Taylor and his team of athletes from Newark.
Newark is hardly a town or club that springs to mind as an area of excellence in distance running but quietly Bill and his team have been building a great group of athletes both men and women who he bring to the clinic for regular testing and this was rewarded on Saturday where the Men’s team took 5th place overall in the English championships which is a fantastic achievement and well done to all those who raced to make this happen.
Our report now takes an international feel as firstly we take the short hop over into Spain where sunny conditions greeted the runners in the Alicante 10k and half marathon.
Long time supporter of the clinic Paul Massey showed a welcome return to racing in the 10k and Tamara Hazelhurst had a fine run in the half marathon.
A little more glamorous setting of Las Vegas was the next scene for the next set of results as the “Rock and Roll” series which includes live bands on route, cheerleaders and themed water stations to name a few of the entertainments on offer in these races.
Part of our community Mary Davies, Matt Whitewood with his wife Sam all took part in the half marathon event as Matt certainly “rocked” the Team Blizard race vest with all everyone running really well in hot conditions.
Lee Davies any other week might had “won” Run of the Week for his 2nd place in the 5k event that had over 4000 runners taking part in and it was good to see him smashing it and credit to his and their coach Sam who has got them all in great shape for the races.
Our final race of the week to report from was the less glamorous but much closer Snake Lane 10 mile race held in East Yorkshire.
It was pbs all around for many of the team in this popular race that always produces good times.
There were eye catching performances from:
Shaun Yates massive pb
Maksims Palciks massive pb
Sarah Hunter 2nd lady overall
Will Sykes return to racing and new pb
Madeline Stansfield 3rd V70
Portugal bound athletes Andy Hopper and Mike Skelton to name just a few of the runners that took part but well done to all of you as if we listed everyone who ran it would be like reading a telephone directory!
However, each week we award an athlete the title of “Run of the Week”.
This is for what we consider an outstanding performance and this week it goes to Clowne Road Runner Peter ( Twiggy ) Twigg.
Twiggy came for his first lactate test way back in 2015 and has been an integral member of the training group ever since.
On Wednesday night’s speed session he spoke to Coach Tune about how he should approach the race and between them a race plan was formulated.
Needless to say Twiggy nailed it to record his fastest 10 mile race since 2016 and earn this week's award for his continual commitment to his running and the training group as he always the first one to help others in a session and help take control of a group pacing.
As always thanks to everyone who sent in their results and long may this great form continue.
Until next week…….keep training!

Massive well done to all those who have “spun” the treadmill this week ( sorry to those who I missed ).

Some new clients, some more established and then some longer term tests like Sarah who has been using heart rate training since 2013 and yet we still find ways to keep moving forward and improving.

Great to work with motivated individuals who want to be the very best version of themselves....onto next week!
