This one hit deep 🥹 🫶
As Pelvic Health Physio’s we have a huge appreciation of how much pelvic floor issues affect lives.
A lovely client of mine had suffered with faecal incontinence for years before finally braving reaching out for help. The issue was affecting every part of her life- she struggled to go out and leave the house, it affected her mental health, her social life and intimate life.
Only a few weeks into her rehab, she has made great improvements already - when she left her appointment the other day she said “thank you so much , you’ve saved my life “ 🥹 FYI I did have a big lump in my throat!
There is still so much taboo around pelvic floor issues and in particular around leaking from the back passage - this leaves these women feeling even more alone , isolated and broken.
There is so much that can be done to help - we just need to get the message out there so these women don’t feel so alone , realise they are not broken , and are aware there is help available.
Faecal incontinence is way more prevalent than you could imagine (this could be leaking of stool or leaking of wind) - we hear about leaking urine but we don’t hear about leaking from the back passage.
If this is you, you are not alone and there is help available - just reach out 🥰
