Your pain is REAL

Your pain is not in your head

Your pain is a signal that something is not right

You are often dismissed for your ongoing complaints and concerns

Your pain is not improving because it may not be coming from where you think it is

It is hard to describe and pinpoint your pain

But you know it’s there

And it’s causing adverse affects on your mood, sleep, movement, function and on your relationships

I am here to tell you your pain is very REAL and in fact not in your head

I will first and foremost VALIDATE your symptoms

I will listen to your entire story and ask more questions to dig a bit deeper into your history

Performing an internal assessment to palpate the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, cervix and bladder) , scar tissue, fascia, muscles and nerves is ONE valuable skillset pelvic health physios use to help identify and treat symptoms

There have so many times where women come in not knowing what to expect, are quite hesitant and nervous about the internal exam only to find out that their symptoms are able to be reproduced and the validation feels surreal. You only wish you came in sooner

Women have cried on the bed during the internal assessment as the emotions of having the pain being recreated and then feeling validated and believed are quite strong 🥺

They have been made to feel like there has been nothing wrong for so long

Let’s work together to figure out the root cause of your symptoms

Let’s start unraveling the mystery by first getting a good thorough history and talking through the timeline of your symptoms ❤️❤️

It’s a journey that can have a beautiful end 💌💌

If I have helped you with your symptoms that you were suffering for so long, please comment and share your story below. Let’s help other women get the help they don’t even know they need 🌸

Want to run, play tennis and exercise without leaking?

THIS is what your training should look like

The pelvic floor needs to be trained under load. With impact. With speed. Change of direction. Dynamically. On impact. The pelvic floor is in high demand with impact exercises so it needs to be trained that way!

Especially after giving birth. Especially a traumatic vaginally delivery. Prolonged second stage labour? Baby stuck in the pelvis? Baby’s head jamming into the tailbone? Large head? Episiotomy and stitches? Forceps? It’s all traumatic to the pelvic floor muscles, bones and nerves.

I saw my client 5 months postnatally and we have progressed her training program to suit her presentation of symptoms and goals. She is currently not experiencing stress incontinence with running and LESS with playing tennis.

Pelvic floor training is different for everyone! A program should be designed specially for you ❤️

GOALS 🥇

🌸🌸Offering a new service for mamas early post caesarean delivery 0-6 weeks 🌸🌸

C-section delivery is considered a major abdominal operation and recovery is always different for each individual. Some experiences can be simple and more straightforward while others can be a bit more traumatic and stressful. Whether it’s the physical trauma of maybe an emergency c-section or the psychological and emotional trauma of the actual operation and everything that went with it, your nervous system can become up-regulated and more sensitive which can impact healing recovery.

I’m providing this option for women who feel they need a bit of added support during their early weeks of recovery.

Using a holistic, guided approach to healing can help regulate the nervous system, calm tissues down while learning about scar tissue management and the importance of breath work - which can all have a positive influence on overall movements and general wellbeing.

*No direct scar treatment or internal pelvic floor assessment would be performed during this session. Desensitisation of tissues above and below the scar may be performed for scar mobility. After scar has healed and matured, direct scar tissue massage can then be performed around 10-12 weeks post delivery*

Are you stuck in the ‘mum’ sway back posture since being pregnant and giving birth?

What one session of physio and breathwork
can do to your standing posture

🌸 Improve ribcage position and reduce ‘rib flare’

🌸 Improve breathing dynamics and core stability

🌸 Decrease load and strain on upper and lower back/pelvis which can help with back pain

🌸 Minimize intraabdominal pressure to help with pressure management and reduce load on pelvic organs to help prevent prolapse/stress incontinence or minimize symptoms

🌸 Efficiency in pelvic floor dynamic movement, strength and coordination

Of course this is just one piece of the puzzle. But it is a very important piece that needs to be addressed ! ❤️

Excited to be leading a workshop today! ❤️

Opening up the conversation about Pelvic floor dysfunction with Asma Pelvicare
Asma, is a leading women's pelvic health physiotherapist.

In a recent client questionnaire 98% of clients were interested in a pelvic health workshop. Showing how common pelvic floor dysfunction is.

Many of us have some kind of pelvic floor dysfunction - prolapse, leaking, urgency, frequency, back/hip pain, or constipation. But, we rarely talk about it, let alone seek help for it.

There is help and support available, you don't need to suffer in silence.

These workshops are empowering women through knowledge and education.

✨⭐️Menopause Wellness Visit✨⭐️

Introducing a new appointment for women who are in perimenopause, transitioning into menopause and/or post menopause -this one’s for you!

While menopause education is slowly coming on the rise, there is still a huge gap when it comes to how hormones affect our musculoskeletal and pelvic health!

Our muscles, tendons and bones 💪🏽🦴run on estrogen - a hormone that helps to build muscle and bones. It’s important for tissue resilience, speed and recovery. When estrogen starts to decline during menopause, we tend to see more tendonopathies and an increase risk of bone fractures. OH btw, women start to lose muscle mass at the age of 31 (for men its 55 😳)

We see common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog and insomnia - but almost 90% of women also experience symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) - which is a collective term for vaginal symptoms such as dryness, irritability, thinning of the tissues which can then lead to pain with sexual activity, bladder incontinence, urgency symptoms and UTIs.

While hot flashes and night sweats do subside, GSM symptoms tend to be chronic, only 25% of women seeking treatment for it

In addition, pelvic health symptoms such as pain, bladder/bowel incontinence is a physical barrier to exercise in 1/2 women. Physical activity (especially strength training to combat muscle mass loss) is extremely important during this time, which is why pelvic health symptoms need to be addressed first.

This wellness visit will provide you with the knowledge and information to help you thrive during your journey through menopause. The visit will include a discussion of anatomy (the pelvis and pelvic floor), a thorough assessment of your movements, breathing patterns, your pelvis and examination of pelvic floor muscles to see how your pelvic floor is moving and tissue examination to see if you would benefit from vaginal estrogen.

Movement and strength will be key- so helping you get started or resuming fitness will be a priority. Breathwork, mobility and resistance training are vital for functional and pelvic floor strength

Let me know if I can help you on your journey! ❤️
