As a passionate and dedicated physiotherapist with over 18 years of experience in Musculoskeletal and Women's Health Physiotherapy I bring a holistic approach to my work. I’ve had the privilege of working across diverse cultures in both the UK and Hong Kong, both in public and private healthcare settings, which has enriched my perspective and enhanced my skills as a clinician. My practice centers on empowering individuals to listen to their bodies and move more efficiently to prevent injury and improve physical and mental well-being. With expertise in posture and movement education, I guide patients to optimize core and pelvic floor function, utilizing clinical pilates as well as techniques such as myofascial release, visceral mobilization and scar release to improve function, movement and health. As a mother, I understand the physical changes women experience during pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause. These stages bring significant shifts, and my mission is to support women in reclaiming control over their bodies during each phase. I view my role as an educator, coach, and advocate, helping women achieve optimal wellness and embrace strength as they navigate life’s transitions. Specialties:

Women’s Health Physiotherapy: obstetric musculoskeletal issues, gynaecology, urinary dysfunctions (stress and urge incontinence), pelvic organ prolapse, painful s*x, overactive bladder, chronic pelvic pain. Clinical Pilates: mat and equipment instruction

This is such an important topic, beautifully explained by the wonderful Pelvic Angel. I see many patients suffering with hyper mobility and pelvic floor dysfunction - if this is you or you know someone who is, please read 👇👇👇

Some common reasons we see in clinic:

Timing & coordination issues – the pelvic floor might be strong but not switching on quickly enough when you cough, jump or lift

Over-tight or tense pelvic floor – muscles that don’t relax well can actually leak too

Pressure management – how your breath, core and pelvic floor work together (especially during exercise)

Hormonal changes – peri/menopause can affect tissue support and bladder sensitivity

Load issues – doing more impact or heavier lifting than your system is currently prepared for

I see plenty of women who can do strong pelvic floor squeezes… yet still leak on a run, double unders or a trampoline. That’s not weakness – that’s a strategy problem, not a strength problem.

The key question isn’t “Is my pelvic floor weak?”

It’s “Is my pelvic floor doing the right thing at the right time?”

That’s exactly why an assessment matters – I check:

✅strength and relaxation

✅endurance and speed

✅coordination with breathing and movement

✨ Perimenopause doesn’t mean powering through — it means training smarter. ✨
If you’re noticing changes in your body, energy, strength or recovery, you’re not imagining it.
Perimenopause is a time when muscle mass, bone density and pelvic health really matter — and the right support can make all the difference.

Our CrossFit Redefined for Menopause programme is designed specifically for you 💪🧠

✔️ A 1:1 pelvic health physiotherapy check to ensure you know how to use your pelvic floor and core muscles optimally
✔️ Assessment of key body markers — muscle mass, bone health & body composition
✔️ Strength training adapted for the perimenopausal body
✔️ A comprehensive nutrition programme to support hormones, energy and recovery
✔️ Expert coaching + a supportive community of women who are also going through similar changes

This isn’t about shrinking, pushing through, or “just doing more cardio”.

It’s about building strength, confidence and resilience for this stage of life — and beyond.

👉 Spaces are limited.
If you’re perimenopausal or menopausal and ready to feel strong, supported and informed, this is for you.

Love this post - leaking or heaviness under loads doesn't mean your body is broken or that lifting caused these issues. It means your pressure management system needs an upgrade 👉
Good news is that its a skill, and skills are trainable 👍
Do you know how to properly manage your pressure??

✨ Menopause Is NOT a Niche — It’s a New Era of Women’s Health ✨

The future of fitness for women starts with trainers who understand menopause — and that’s exactly why I do what I do.

As women move through perimenopause and menopause, hormonal shifts can impact muscle mass, bone density, metabolic rate, and overall strength.
But here’s the important part: these changes are biological, NOT inevitable.

🔍 What the research tells us:
📉 Up to 10% muscle mass may be lost during perimenopause
📉 Decline in bone density may increase fracture risk
📉 Metabolism may slow as muscle decreases
📉 Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause: joint pain, muscle discomfort, strength loss

And yet… with the right approach, women can stay strong, lean, functional, and confident throughout midlife and beyond.

💪 This is where professionals like me play a powerful role:
✔ Evidence-based strength training
✔ Multi-directional loading for muscle + bone
✔ Pelvic floor support
✔ Education that replaces fear with confidence

I help my clients break through the myths that keep them stuck:
❌ “Strength training will bulk me up.”
❌ “Weight gain in menopause is unavoidable.”
❌ “HRT automatically causes weight gain.”

I work within my scope, alongside other local healthcare professionals, all experts in their fields

🌟 Here’s the truth:
Women can thrive through menopause — physically, mentally, and emotionally — when they have the right guidance and support.

Let's talk PELVIC FLOOR! Here is a summary of the 4 S's!

1) Sphincteric

The pelvic floor provides closure around the openings of the body.

It helps control:

Urine (urinary continence)

Wind and faeces (bowel continence)

The pelvic floor must tighten quickly when needed (like a cough/sneeze), but also relax fully to empty the bladder and bowels properly.

Problems can show up as leaking, urgency, constipation, incomplete emptying, or pain.

2) Support

The pelvic floor acts like a hammock or trampoline of muscles and connective tissue at the base of the pelvis.

It supports:

- The bladder

- The uterus

- The bowel

Support is about how well the pelvic floor can lift, hold, and respond to pressure (like coughing, running, lifting, pregnancy and prolapse risk). It’s not just “strong vs weak” — it’s also about timing, endurance and coordination.

3) Stabilising

The pelvic floor is part of your core system, working with:

- The diaphragm

- The deep abdominals (TVA)

- The multifidus/back muscles

It helps create lumbopelvic stability, meaning control through your pelvis and spine during movement.

This matters for things like lifting, running, CrossFit, posture, back pain, and safe return to exercise after birth.

4) Sexual

The pelvic floor contributes to s*xual comfort, arousal and or**sm, through blood flow, sensation, and muscular response.

A pelvic floor that can contract AND relax is key.

Both overactivity/tension and weakness/lack of coordination can impact s*x — causing symptoms like:

- Pain with pe*******on

- Reduced sensation

- Difficulty achieving or**sm

- Vaginal heaviness or reduced confidence

The pelvic floor isn’t just about “doing your Kegels” — it’s about function:

✅ Support organs

✅ Stabilise the core

✅ Control bladder and bowel

✅ Contribute to s*xual wellbeing

Bear Walden CrossFit, it’s so much more than a gym. It truly is a community.

The coaches take the time to really see every individual, making sure lifts are appropriate, technique is spot on, and progression is safe. They know exactly when to challenge you that little bit more, all grounded in solid knowledge and experience.

What I love most is training alongside people of all ages, stages, backgrounds and abilities men and women, all working towards one shared goal: feeling stronger, healthier and more confident in their bodies.

When I refer my patients to Sam and his team, I do so with complete confidence. As a women’s health physiotherapist, knowing my patients are in safe, skilled hands matters hugely.

Together, we can support you every step of the way towards your health and fitness goals. A brilliant team and one I’m genuinely proud to work alongside.

What a week!

It has been such a privilege to meet some AMAZING women in our first official CrossFit Redefined for Menopause 10-week programme.

We’ve talked all things hormones, pelvic floor, strength, s*x, sleep, bone health, pain, bladder and bowel health, and—most importantly—how to train with your body through perimenopause and menopause, not against it.
Sam and I have recorded baseline measurements, delivered nutrition planning, and menopause education.

I am so proud to support them on their journey to better body confidence, movement, strength for long term health 💪✨

You’re not imagining it!

Many women notice increased urgency, frequency or discomfort with their bladder during winter — and menopause can play a key role.

Here’s why:

🧠 1. Hormonal changes affect bladder tissue

Lower oestrogen during peri- and post-menopause alters the bladder and urethral lining called GSM (genitourinary syndrome of menopause). This can lead to heightened urgency and frequency.

Cold weather can amplify these sensations.

❄️ 2. Cold triggers bladder reflexes

Cold exposure increases nervous system activity and blood vessel constriction, which can stimulate the bladder — sometimes called 'cold-induced diuresis'.

💪 3. Pelvic floor response to cold

Cold can increase muscle tone and guarding.

If the pelvic floor struggles to relax, urgency and difficulty delaying voiding can increase.

⚡ 4. Nervous system sensitivity

Menopause causes changes in sensory processing, meaning bladder signals can feel stronger — especially in cold conditions.

Common winter bladder symptoms include:

• Needing to empty bladder more often

• Sudden urgency when going outside

• Worsening overactive bladder symptoms

• Discomfort (without infection)

What can help:

✔️ Local vaginal oestrogen (if appropriate - see your GP)

✔️ Pelvic health physiotherapy

✔️ Keeping the pelvis and lower abdomen warm

✔️ Bladder training and nervous system regulation

✔️ Ruling out infection (symptoms can mimic UTIs)

If you are experiencing problems with your bladder, drop me a DM. Whether it's down to habit, hormonal or another health condition, we will work out what the underlying cause is and get you back on track. ☀️

💬 Sam’s story highlights the influence of perimenopause and menopause on pain mechanisms.

Oestrogen normally has a protective, pain-modulating effect. During perimenopause and menopause, falling and fluctuating oestrogen levels affect how the brain processes pain - the nervous system can become more pain-sensitive, which may:

- Worsen existing fibromyalgia symptoms
- Unmask fibromyalgia in someone who was previously coping well

Fibromyalgia is driven by central sensitisation — the nervous system stays in a heightened “threat” state and over-amplifies pain signals.

Menopause can contribute to this through:

- Poor sleep

- Increased stress and anxiety

- Brain fog and fatigue

- Changes in neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine)

All of these are also common menopausal symptoms and can often get overlooked or misdiagnosed.

For Sam, there were some key areas we focus on in physiotherapy and during the workouts:

👉Pacing is key. This means breaking an activity down into smaller more manageable chunks, and taking a rest in between rather than just trying to get it done all in one. Slow, progressive workouts, breathing and listening her body helped Sam ensure correct technique,without over doing it

👉Planning activities ahead of time is so important to understand and control your own limits rather just pushing through and burning out. Sometimes this is hard to do especially when life is busy with demands of work, family - this could be childcare duties, elderly parents. Trying to be consistent throughout your week, rather than having a few very busy days followed by ‘rest’ days.

👉Prioritise what matters to you to ensure you have the energy and symptom control to engage in whatever are the most enjoyable and meaningful activities to you. Saying “no” is one of the most underrated — and powerful — tools in pain management.

We are thrilled with Sam's results and hope she continues to work with these principles in mind to carry on feeling more in control and keep her mojo ⭐💪💫
