Pelvic floor dysfunction is more common than we think, and yet, it is rarely spoken about due to embarrassment or "oh, it's just aging."

Do you need to cross your legs when you sneeze?
Do you plan your day around the nearest bathroom?
Do you avoid jumping, running, or certain exercises?

These aren't just things you need to live with.

Your pelvic floor is part of your core. When it's not functioning well, other areas compensate, often leading to discomfort, instability, or decreased performance.

It's not just exclusive to women either. Men experience pelvic floor dysfunction, too. Most commonly during heavy lifting, after prostate surgery, chronic straining, and chronic back pain.

Left too long, pelvic floor dysfunction can result in chronic incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and serial dysfunction. Having a serious negative effect on quality of life.

The good news? These muscles can be retrained. Early reassessment and targeted rehabilitation can prevent worsening symptoms and restore function.

If any of these signs sound familiar, reach out. Support is available 🤍

Exercise is one of the most effective and low-cost treatments for chronic disease. It also works best when taken on the regular 💪🏼

Sustainable strength progress comes from regular exposure to appropriate load. Research shows that motor learning and strength improve far more through repetition and frequency than occasional complexity.

Keep it simple. Keep it consistent. And keep showing up ✨️💪🏼

Wellness isn’t about trying to do everything all at once — it’s about doing what you can, consistently.

Daily movement. Strength training 2–3x a week. Making space for recovery and rest. These are the things that we, as a team, are prioritising in 2026.
Showing up for the long term, not just for a quick fix.

And most importantly? We are focusing on building a community whose goals align with this. Because progress is easier (and more fun) when you’re supported by a community that moves, rests, and grows with you ✨

Which wellness habits are you prioritising in 2026?

Movement is better when it’s shared.

Our group classes are built around connection, consistency and considered movement. We aim to create a space where we celebrate the good days and make room for the harder ones too.

Each class is guided with intention, drawing on evidence-based principles of strength, control and movement quality, while still leaving space for individuality and how your body feels on the day.

No pressure. No comparison. Just well-guided movement in a supportive, like-minded community.

Movember is here — and we’re diving deep into how exercise transforms men’s physical and mental health.

From boosting mood and confidence to reducing stress, improving sleep, and lowering disease risk — movement is medicine. This month, we honour the battles men fight silently and highlight the power of staying active, staying connected, and taking care of your body and mind. 🏋️‍♂️

Men’s Mental Health Stats:
• Around 75% of global su***de victims are men.
• Men are far less likely to seek help — they make up only about 30–40% of psychological therapy users.
• 1 in 8 men will experience depression, yet most won’t report it.
• Men die, on average, 4–5 years earlier than women, with preventable lifestyle diseases and untreated mental health issues playing a major role.

Let’s move for better health, talk openly, and support our men. 💙

I am tired of the fear mongering.

Social media, especially within the fitness realm, has become a place where people love saying "Do this! Not that!". Or "you're doing [insert move] wrong". Or "stop stretching! Do this instead...". I can only imagine how confusing it must be for someone not working in the industry, since it can be confusing for us.

It is all clickbait guys. Yes, you get the few people who actually know what they're talking about. But in general, health and fitness is very rarely, if ever, one glove fits all. It's not black and white. Each person is built differently, moves differently, thinks about moving differently, lives differently eats differently... the list goes on.

Sometimes that move that they're demonstrating will help in a particular situation - which the ones that have insight will disclose and explain.

Don't fall into the trap of believing the most confident speaker. If someone is that confident, it usually means they haven't learnt enough about a topic to realize that they don't know enough.

Don't let others get you side-tracked with their opinions, go to a specialist and follow their advise, tailormade for your needs. Share it with your trainer to work into your program. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Your body takes time to adapt, so make sure you do what you need to do consistently and with intent.

Happy training! 💪

Where can you find us? We’re glad you asked…

We currently have three locations, each with its own mission and vibe ✨

✨ Irene Village Care
Where it all began in February 2021. Our consultation rooms in Irene focus on clinical rehabilitation, orthopaedics, and chronic & lifestyle condition management, working closely with a team of medical and aesthetic professionals (shoutout , , ) to offer collaborative care.

✨ Highveld Medical Center
Our newest and biggest space yet! Here, we’ve built a team of biokineticists, massage therapists, a dietitian (), Pilates instructors - and we’re still growing! This facility is bringing our orthopaedic rehab to a more functional space, group classes and multiple service offerings to Vitality Members. We’re super excited to share that this branch is officially a Vitality Accredited Fitness Center.

✨ La Vie Care, Waterkloof Marina
This is where we do some of our most meaningful work, inside the Frail Care & Dementia Unit, alongside a multidisciplinary team. We also offer home visits, on-site rehabilitation at this facility and co-treatment with occupational therapists, with a strong passion for geriatrics and neurological rehabilitation.

💻 We’re also accepting applications for home visits and online sessions.

Contact us or book online (link in bio).

MEET THE TEAM 〰️

Cherise is an East Rand girl at heart, with a big dream: to make rehab & exercise more accessible, fun, and lasting. She’s a registered biokineticist with multiple additional certifications (because let’s be honest - CPD points won’t earn themselves, and curiosity fuels action), allowing her to look at a concern from different angles.

“Identifying gaps and obstacles in the rehabilitation space has been one of the biggest challenges in a fast-paced medical world - but also the foundation of how MyoMerge was built. We understand the hurdles our patients face and aim to meet anyone with empathy, working closely with patient-centered practitioners to achieve the best conservative outcomes.”

Cherise has a special interest in orthopaedic rehabilitation, women’s health, and neurological conditions. Every session draws from the science of movement - combining evidence-based strategies to improve mobility, strength, and function.

She hyper-fixates on good tunes, loves spending her downtime with people who inspire her, sneaks in a Pilates flow, and enjoys the occasional jumpscare movie.

Her daily dopamine fix? Likely found at a local coffee shop near one of our practices (shoutout to & .coffee) ☕️

Fun fact: I tore my ankle ligaments on a Tuesday, that Friday we had a practice photoshoot 😅 It goes without saying, I had to Uber…

I am still not walking like I used to, I can’t do a single leg calf raise and my calf and quad has disappeared ✨

Being on the other side of recovery and rehabilitation has been a frustrating but enlightening experience.

Here are some thoughts I had during my initial rehabilitation phase 🩹
