Putting you at the core of your pre and post natal journey

27/02/2026

Had the most brilliant morning being part of the Bristol Girls Can podcast

We talked about something I’m really passionate about — why so many women quietly stop doing the things they love because of pelvic floor symptoms, and why that doesn’t have to be the case.

The conversation covered everything from elite athletes to postnatal recovery, why “common” and “normal” are not the same thing, and what it actually looks like to get support that works.

The episode drops in April — I’ll share the link as soon as it’s live. In the meantime, swipe through for some of the highlights

If any of this resonates with you — the leaking, the heaviness, the feeling that this is just life now — please know it doesn’t have to be.

Postpartum recovery isn’t just about waiting long enough — it’s about working through the right stages in the right order.

Think of it like building a house. You wouldn’t put the roof on before the walls, and you wouldn’t lay the walls before the foundations. Your body is no different. Each layer of recovery supports the next, and the time you spend in the earlier stages is what makes the later ones possible.

That doesn’t mean everyone needs months on each phase. Some women move through quickly, others need more time — and both are completely normal. What matters is that the foundations are visited before you ask your body to manage the demands of running, jumping, or heavy lifting.

If you’ve been given the all-clear at six weeks and sent on your way, this one’s for you. Swipe through to understand the stages of reconnection and what to consider before returning to high-impact or high-load activity.

And if you’re unsure where you are in your recovery, a pelvic health physiotherapist can help you make sense of it.

That feeling when a client asks if they can start running again after prolapse… and you’re not quite sure what to say?

The courses teach you the theory. But the clinical reasoning — that’s the bit you learn in the room, often alone, often second-guessing yourself.

That’s exactly why I’m running a free webinar: ‘Beyond the Textbook: Clinical Decision-Making for Prolapse Progression’ — real case examples, practical frameworks, and how I actually think through these decisions.

And if you want that support beyond a single session, my 6-month mentorship programme opens March 30th with just 10 spaces. Monthly 1:1 calls, live webinars throughout, and an online platform packed with women’s health topics — so you always have expert backup for your complex cases.

Start with the free webinar. See if my approach resonates. The mentorship is there if you need more.

These transformations didn’t happen because I gave them secret information.

They happened because we worked through their actual cases together.

Real client scenarios. Real clinical decisions. Real frameworks they could use independently.

One mentee opened her own clinic.

Another went from avoiding prolapse cases to confidently managing them.

Another cut her appointment times down while improving outcomes.

This is what happens when you get structured clinical support instead of another course.

My 6-month mentorship programme applications open March 30th.

For women’s health physios and coaches who see 15-20+ clients weekly and work largely alone.
6 monthly 1:1 calls. Expert webinar library. Maximum 10-12 mentees.

Still telling clients to ‘just do core work’ for diastasis?

This clip is just a taste of what’s inside the portal — expert webinars, monthly 1:1s, and a community of practitioners who get it.

Next cohort opens 30th March. Link in bio if you’re ready to level up your practice.

Tell me you’re a pelvic health physio without telling me you’re a pelvic health physio

I try to stay positive and educational, but sometimes you just need a good rant about the things that make you want to throw your professional membership out the window.

The worst part? Most of these come from well-meaning advice that’s either outdated, oversimplified, or just plain wrong. And it’s the people seeking help who end up confused, fearful, or thinking their bodies are broken.

So here’s my plea: if you’re giving pelvic health advice (whether you’re a healthcare professional, fitness instructor, or influencer), please make sure it’s nuanced, individualised, and evidence-based. Our patients deserve better.

I’m Rosie, a pelvic health physiotherapist, and here’s what I know from working with women’s health practitioners:

You don’t need more information. You need clinical partnership.

The courses pile up. The knowledge is there. But when you’re sitting with a real woman in front of you making decisions about prolapse progression or return to impact training, the uncertainty creeps in.

Because courses give you information. Mentorship gives you clinical reasoning frameworks you can actually use.

My 6-month mentorship programme opens for enrollment on March 1st. It’s designed for women’s health physios and coaches who are treating 15-20+ clients weekly and need expert backup for complex pelvic health cases.

6 monthly 1:1 calls. Expert webinar library. Maximum 10-12 mentees. Clinical first, always.

If you’re interested in the mentorship, join my free webinar on March 11th: Beyond the Textbook - Clinical Decision-Making for Prolapse Progression. I’ll walk you through the exact frameworks I use when assessing progression risk and making treatment decisions. It’s a great way to see if we’re a good fit.

One of the athletes at the Winter Olympics right now is a past client of mine.

I won’t break confidentiality by sharing who, but I will share what elite winter sport athletes often deal with that you never see on TV.

While we’re watching incredible performances - the aerials, the speed, the precision - behind the scenes these athletes are managing pelvic health challenges that rarely get airtime.

High-impact landings. Sustained pressure in low skating positions. Rotational forces through the core. All in freezing temperatures, full-body suits, and with limited bathroom access on mountain venues.

And here’s what frustrates me: so many of these athletes have been told “just do more kegels” or “that’s normal after having kids” or “it’s part of being a female athlete.”

But elite sport demands an elite approach to pelvic health. These athletes need individualised assessment, sport-specific load management, and integration with their existing training programs - not generic advice.
The good news? You don’t need to be competing at the Olympics to deserve this level of care.

Whether you’re returning to CrossFit postnatally, managing symptoms during your park run, or training for your first triathlon, the same principles apply: understand your individual system, manage your loads appropriately, and work with someone who gets the demands of your sport.

(And if you’re a practitioner or coach who wants to better support your athletic clients, this is exactly what we cover in my mentorship program 👇)

11/02/2026

Can we talk about that gap between what you learned in courses and what actually happens in clinic?

You know the theory. You’ve done the CPD. But when you’re sitting with a woman with prolapse making real decisions about progression, there’s still that voice going ‘am I getting this right?’

I’ve been there. And I know so many of you are there right now.

So here’s what I’m offering:

FREE WEBINAR

‘Beyond the Textbook: Clinical Decision-Making for Prolapse Progression’

I’m walking you through real case examples, showing you my decision-making frameworks, and basically giving you the clinical reasoning support the courses missed.

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
For those who want ongoing support (not just one session), I’m opening 10 spaces on March 30th.
6 months of monthly 1:1 calls + access to an online platform with expert webinars on all the women’s health topics you’re treating + live sessions throughout.
This is for women’s health physios, coaches, and personal trainers who work alone with complex cases and need someone in their corner.

Try the free webinar first. See if it clicks. If you want that support for your whole practice, mentorship applications are open.

Comment ‘YES’ if you’re interested and I’ll send details

Sling carrying is an incredible way to bond with your baby and keep your hands free - but like everything postnatally, there’s a smart way to approach it 🤱

Your pelvic floor is recovering from pregnancy, birth, and now supporting extra weight in a completely different position. That doesn’t mean you can’t use a sling - it just means we need to be strategic about it.

The biggest mistake I see? Going from zero to wearing baby for hours on end without building capacity first. Your core and pelvic floor need time to adapt to this new load.

If you’re experiencing any of the warning signs, it doesn’t mean sling carrying isn’t for you - it usually just means you need some targeted rehab to build strength and support first.

That’s exactly what I help with in my practice.
