It was such a pleasure speaking at the earlier this month!

A big thank you to this wonderful group for creating such a supportive space for mums and babies.

We talked all things pelvic health, from how the pelvic floor changes after pregnancy and birth, to practical ways to support recovery and confidence. It’s a topic so many new mums have questions about, but often aren’t sure where to start, and it was fantastic to see such open, honest conversations happening.

Here’s to open conversations, community, and empowering women with knowledge about their bodies. 💜

Movember
It’s that time of year when moustaches start appearing everywhere, all for a great cause!
Each November, Movember raises awareness of men’s health, from mental well-being to prostate and testicular cancer.

As a pelvic health specialist, I help men who are recovering from prostate cancer, as they may be experiencing
⚪ Pelvic pain
⚪ Loss of bladder control or leakage
⚪ Changes in sexual function

These are common side effects after surgery or treatment, but they don’t have to be permanent. With specialist physiotherapy, strength can be rebuilt, function can improve, and confidence can return.

💙 Men’s pelvic health matters. If you or someone you know could benefit from support, I'm here to help and offer a FREE 15-minute consultation.

Saturday 18th October is World Menopause Awareness Day!

During menopause, falling oestrogen levels can increase the risk of bone loss and osteoporosis. But with the right kind of exercise, you can help protect your bones and improve strength!

✨ Weight-bearing activities like walking, running, or dancing help keep bones strong, and they all rely on a healthy, supportive pelvic floor.
✨ Strength training builds both muscle and bone, reducing the risk of fractures.

Regular exercise is one of the most powerful tools for supporting bone health through menopause and beyond. With tailored, expert support, we’ll find the right exercise plan for you that builds bone density whilst also supporting your pelvic floor.

October is Menopause Month-

Why does menopause affect the pelvic floor?

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. Alongside hot flushes and sleep changes, many women also notice changes in their pelvic health, and that can feel worrying or even isolating.

As oestrogen levels drop, the tissues and muscles of the pelvic floor can become less supported. This might lead to:
⚪ Bladder urgency or leakage
⚪ Weaker pelvic floor muscles
⚪ Vaginal dryness or discomfort
⚪ Changes in intimacy and confidence

If you’re experiencing this, you are not alone, and it’s not something you just have to live with.

With gentle, tailored support, pelvic health physiotherapy can help you feel less disillusioned with your body, rebuild strength, and feel more confident again.

Menopause is a new chapter, and with the right care, it can still be one where you feel strong and supported.

September is Urology Awareness Month-

1 in 3 women live with bladder leakage

For many, it’s linked to childbirth, menopause, or a urological condition, but whatever the cause, it can feel isolating and frustrating.

Here’s the good news:
👉 Your pelvic floor is a muscle, and just like other muscles in the body, it can be strengthened, retrained, and supported.
👉 With specialist pelvic health physiotherapy, many women see real improvements in control, confidence, and quality of life.

🌟 Leakage is common, but it’s not something you have to accept as “normal”.
Specialist support is available, and you deserve it.

Reduced self-confidence, sometimes even impacting intimacy and relationships.
