I’m so looking forward to seeing you at event tomorrow.

I’ll be on hand to answer questions and open up important conversations around pelvic health in the post partum period.

I’m there to break down some common myths and fears around what you can/can’t/shouldn’t/should be doing in these early days, weeks and months.

Please say hi and ask me something important to you.

✨New evidence✨

Risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction include
👉🏼carrying a pregnancy
👉🏼carrying more than one pregnancy
👉🏼vaginal delivery
👉🏼episiotomy
👉🏼assisted delivery
👉🏼other, non pregnancy/birth related

By carrying out pelvic floor exercises, you can vastly decrease your risk of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse following the birth of your little one.

To make sure you are carrying out the correct technique, visit a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist.

Bowel habits

🚽Did you know, how you sit on the toilet can have a big impact on your bowel.

🕵🏽Can you spot the differences between the images and see which version you are?

For an effective evacuation posture, place a wee stool under your feet and lean forward keeping your chest up.

Why?
👉🏼it actually straightens the re**um by relaxing the muscles that hold it in position
👉🏼helps to pass stool more smoothly
👉🏼feels comfortable and more natural

💩pushing to empty your bowels can cause other pelvic floor dysfunction.

👍🏼Try this simple step to see if it helps you empty more comfortably.

I’ve been asked about return to running after having a baby quite a bit recently so thought it was worth a post.

Returning to running after having a baby is not always straightforward.

As a pelvic health physiotherapist there is much to consider
👉🏼abdominal wall strength
👉🏼pelvic floor control and power
👉🏼glutes, hamstrings and quads strength
👉🏼breathing control and rib expansion
👉🏼any pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms

There is great evidence leading to quality guidelines to help progress to running after giving birth.

The main thing is understand your baseline. It will be vastly different from your pre-pregnancy baseline.

Begin a strengthening programme specific to your needs, which will include exercises that break down running into smaller segments including…
👉🏼single leg stand
👉🏼hopping
👉🏼single leg running man
