Those first few weeks post natal can definitely pass in a blur of sleep deprivation, feeding and nappy changes. But there are some simple things that I recommend to help your recovery.

- Rest, as is possible. Whether it's grabbing a nap or just making sure to relax on the couch, it's gives your body a chance to heal.

- Nutrition - get in those healthy meals and snacks. Try avoid to much caffeine and sugar.

-Take some time to focus on your breathing, getting that rib cage expanding which will help us connect with our pelvic floor

- Crack on with those pelvic floor exercises. Get the to help remind you and keep track.

- Try some gentle exercise, a short walk or some gentle stretches as able

- Avoid constipation - a healthy diet and lots of water helps, regular movement and have a stool to pop your feet up on when emptying your bowels.

Happy Halloween everyone 🧙

Anyone else planning to 'help' the kids with their sweet later 😉😁

😳That's a fact. It takes an average of 7 years to seek help for pelvic health conditions!

7 years is a long time to be putting up with symptoms such as leaking and pain and trying to carry on as normal. We should not be waiting that long.

Many of these pelvic health problems are really common and we are here to help.

🔸 Incontinence
🔸 Pelvic pain
🔸 Pressure or heaviness
🔸 and much more.

I am here to listen to your whole story, I'm lucky to have the time and I do want to hear everything (no such think as TMI for a pelvic physio 😉). Let's start your rehab and recovery. No more leaving it so long.

🌞Had your baby during the summer?

Now is the perfect time to book in for a Mummy MOT. Suitable from 6 weeks post natal.

The post natal check we all deserve. This hour long long appointment will include an assessment of:

▪️Pelvic floor
▪️Tummy gap
▪️Posture
▪️C section scar

And any other concerns you might have.

⭐Genitourinary syndrome of lactation (gsl)

This can commonly affect breastfeeding women as their oestrogen levels are affected.

Symptoms are similar to peri and post menopause.

▪️Dryness and irritation

▪️Painful s*x

▪️Urinary urgency or incontinence

The good news is that symptoms typically disappear when you have stopped breastfeeding and hormone levels settle.

But treatments such as Physio, vaginal oestrogen, moisturizers and lubricants can all help symptoms.

Rehab - whether it's pelvic floor or any other kind, takes time and is often not plane sailing.

So if your exercises and rehab have slightly gone out the window with the summer juggle - don't stress.

What can you fit in? 5 mins, a few exercises when kids are asleep? Maybe some days nothing?

Every little bit counts - you got this ❤️
