Did you know that your back, core and pelvic floor all work together? They're like one big team keeping you upright and moving comfortably!

When one part of that team isn’t pulling its weight (or is working too hard), the others have to pick up the slack, and that’s when pain and stiffness can creep in.

Things like poor posture, long hours sitting, constipation, pregnancy or surgery can all affect how this system works.

It’s a reminder that pain isn’t always just about the spot that hurts, it’s often about how everything’s connected 💜

It’s not exactly the easiest thing to bring up, but if s*x has started to feel painful, uncomfortable or just not right, you’re definitely not the only one, and you don’t have to just put up with it 💜

So many women think it’s 'just part of getting older', or something that happens after having kids, but that’s just not true! There could be loads of reasons behind it like tight pelvic floor muscles, hormonal changes, scar tissue, or even how your body’s been holding tension without you realising.

Physiotherapy can help release tight muscles, reduce pain, and get everything working comfortably again because you deserve to feel confident and relaxed during intimacy and not anxious or bracing yourself for pain 💜

Hearing the word 'prolapse' can be terrifying and trust us, we get it 💜

But it doesn’t always mean surgery, and it’s far more common than most people realise!

A prolapse can cause feelings of heaviness, dragging, or a bulge in the va**na, but these symptoms can often be managed really well with the right exercises and support.

Strengthening your pelvic floor, learning how to lift and move safely, and making small daily adjustments can all help you feel more comfortable and in control.

It’s not something to panic about but it's definitely something you can work on!

✨ Three gentle exercises to ease persistent lower back stiffness ✨

Here are three exercises that may help if you have persistent lower back pain without pain, pins and needles, or numbness into the legs. 💛

With each movement, take your time and stay curious about what you can feel. Think of your muscles like warm toffee gently softening, rather than something you need to push through or fight against. 🍯✨

When pain has been with us for a while, it’s completely natural to feel nervous about moving. We often avoid certain positions, which then increases stiffness and tension — and that can add to our discomfort. These exercises are designed to help you move with confidence again. 🌿

If you find these helpful, feel free to follow, share this page, or leave a comment below. 💬💛

And if you’re worried about your pain, you’re always welcome to call — I’m more than happy to chat things through and see how I can support you. 📞🤍

If you've ever experienced that nagging shoulder pain, a stiff lower back or the knee that flares up when you finally start exercising again then you'll know that it’s easy to ignore these things for a while, until they start creeping into everyday life!

Contrary to what some people believe, physiotherapy isn’t just for big injuries or surgery rehab, it’s about helping your body move better, hurt less, and feel more resilient.

At Salveo Physiotherapy, we look at the bigger picture of how you move, sit, stand and breathe so we can get to the root of what’s going on. Then we give loads of tools to manage it confidently, so you can get back to doing the things you love.

Don’t wait until it’s unbearable because the sooner you start, the easier it is to fix. Start here: https://heyor.ca/XVHxAg

🚨3 signs your pelvic floor might be calling for help🚨
If you’ve ever noticed…
💩 Trouble wiping properly after a bowel movement
🔥 Pain or discomfort during s*x
😮‍💨 Feeling like you can’t get a deep breath in
…your pelvic floor could be overworking, underworking, or simply out of sync with your body.
These symptoms are common — but not normal.
Your pelvic floor should move, breathe, and relax with you, not against you.
👩🏻‍⚕️ A pelvic health physiotherapist can help you get things functioning smoothly again — from the inside out.

It's true that drinking more water can help with constipation, but if it's a regular visitor, it’s usually not that simple! 💩

There are a few things you can do that could make a big difference:
💧 Keep hydrated, yes, but balance your fibre too as too much can make things worse.
🚶 Move daily, even gentle walking keeps your bowels happier.
🧘 Breathe, as holding tension or straining can actually make constipation worse.

Physiotherapy can help by teaching you how to relax your pelvic floor, use better toilet positioning, and make going easier so you don't start your day with dread each morning!

Nobody really talks about what happens to your body after having a baby... the sore hips, aching back, tummy muscles that don’t feel connected anymore or that weird feeling that your body isn’t quite 'yours' yet.

All of this is totally normal but they're definitely not things you have to live with forever!

Physiotherapy can help you rebuild strength, support your pelvic floor, and get your body feeling more like itself again.

At Salveo, we’ll meet you where you’re at with no pressure, no judgement, just gentle, realistic support! You can get started on our website: https://heyor.ca/XVHxAg

If you’ve ever had a baby, chances are you’ve had some tummy muscle separation, it’s called diastasis recti, and it’s completely normal! Most women see it improve naturally, but for some, it sticks around.

Even if your youngest is in school now (or taller than you!), the good news is that it’s never too late to work on it.

With the right exercises, breathing, posture, and gentle core strengthening, you can close the gap, ease back pain, and feel more connected to your body again 💜

You don’t need fancy equipment or endless crunches, just the right guidance for your body.

Everyone talks about 'doing your kegels', but strength isn’t the whole story! A pelvic floor that’s too tight or can’t relax can cause just as many problems as one that’s weak.

Good pelvic floor health means your muscles can tighten and release when they need to and if you’re struggling with leaks, urgency, or pelvic pain, the answer might not be 'more kegels', it might be learning to let go 💜

A women’s health physio can help you figure out exactly what your body needs, and teach you how to get those muscles working with you, not against you!

A lot of women come to us after years of 'just putting up with' bladder leaks, prolapse worries, or pelvic pain that never really goes away. Somewhere along the line, they were told it’s just part of getting older or having children... it's not!

You don’t have to accept it, and you don’t have to live your life around toilet stops or pain flare-ups.

At Salveo Physiotherapy, we take the time to really understand what’s going on. We look at your posture, pelvic floor, lifestyle and habits and build a plan that’s made for you.

Small changes can make a huge difference, and most issues can be improved or even resolved with the right support.

You deserve to feel confident and comfortable in your body again! 💜
