As we wrap up 2025, take a moment to honour what your body has carried you through — change, growth, strength, stillness.

Physiotherapy isn’t only about injury or pain — it’s about reconnecting, rebuilding, and preparing for what’s next.

Here’s to strong bodies, balanced minds, and empowered women.

Let’s talk science 🧠

Did you know that the same muscles that help control your bladder also play a major role in s*xual pleasure and or**sm?

The pelvic floor needs to be able to do two things well:
💪 Contract — to create strength and support
🌬️ Relax — to allow blood flow, sensation, and movement

If your pelvic floor is too tight, it can lead to pain, numbness, or difficulty climaxing.
If it’s too weak, it might not generate enough strength for the rhythmic contractions that lead to or**sm.

That’s where pelvic health physiotherapy comes in.
We help you understand how your muscles work — how to relax, strengthen, and coordinate them so your body functions the way it was designed to.

This is about more than s*x — it’s about feeling strong, confident, and connected in your own body.

Let’s Talk Lubrication — Your Pelvic Floor Will Thank You 💛

When oestrogen dips (hello postpartum, breastfeeding, perimenopause & menopause), your vaginal tissues naturally become drier, thinner, and more sensitive. That’s not “just part of being a woman” — it’s physiology. And support helps.

✨ Lubrication is not optional in a low-oestrogen state — it’s essential.
It reduces friction, protects delicate tissue, makes intimacy more comfortable, and supports pelvic floor wellbeing.

Here’s what to look for 👇
🔹 Choose a good lubricant
Water-based: gentle, versatile, safe with pelvic floor exercises and toys.
Organic / Natural: fewer additives for sensitive tissues.
pH-balanced & fragrance-free: keeps your vaginal microbiome happy.
Avoid silicone-based unless recommended — they’re long-lasting but not always ideal for all situations.

Lubricants support your tissues the same way moisturiser supports dry skin — comfort, protection, ease.

🔹 This is not taboo — it’s proactive care
Some options that patients report work include: or

Let’s Talk About It — Or***ms & The Pelvic Floor

Let’s get real for a moment 💬

Talking about or**sms might not be what brings women into my practice…
But it’s definitely a topic that comes up once we start discussing pelvic floor health — and for good reason.

So many women have been led to believe that difficulty reaching or**sm is “just how it is.”

But here’s the truth 👉 It’s common, not normal.

Your pelvic floor plays a key role in blood flow, muscle coordination, and nerve response — all essential for pleasure and satisfaction. If the muscles are weak, tight, or uncoordinated, it can affect sensation and the ability to reach climax.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy isn’t just about recovery or bladder control — it’s about understanding your body and reclaiming confidence, comfort, and pleasure.

✨ Knowledge is empowerment.
✨ Awareness is the first step toward change.
✨ You deserve to feel connected to your body again.

"What if you became the CEO of your own health?

In the world of women’s health, too often we’re told to follow someone else’s playbook. But as Dr Stacy Sims says: women are not small men — and your body deserves a plan built for you.
Dr Stacy Sims

Here’s how you step into that CEO role:
🔹 Know your physiology – you’re not a copy of someone else. Your hormones, muscle, bones and movement patterns all make you unique.
🔹 Build with purpose – strength, mobility, pelvic health, nutrition and mindset all matter.
🔹 Make informed decisions – ask questions, gather facts, reject one-size-fits-all advice.
🔹 Lead your future – this isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about longevity, vitality, confidence.

When you take the helm of your health, you don’t just survive — you thrive.
Let’s move forward with intention. 💪

It’s not about squeezing. It’s about understanding.

Your pelvic floor isn’t just a muscle group to “tighten.”
It’s a dynamic system that supports your organs, stabilises your core, controls bladder and bowel function — and yes, enhances s*xual wellbeing.

Through physiotherapy, we retrain the pelvic floor to move, respond, and relax — not just hold tension.

Because balance, not clenching, is what creates long-term strength. 🌸

Summer’s here — let’s move smart and sun smart.

December is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and while we’re soaking up the sunshine, it’s worth remembering:
👉 Skin cancer is the most common cancer in South Africa — and also one of the most preventable.

Here’s how to stay active and protected this summer:
🧴 Sunscreen — use broad spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours.
👒 Shade & Clothing — wear a hat, sunglasses, and light layers.
🏄‍♀️ Plan movement wisely — exercise early morning or late afternoon when UV levels are lower.
💧 Hydrate — your skin and muscles will thank you.

As physiotherapists, we love seeing you move outdoors — but we also want you to move safely.
Healthy skin is part of whole-body wellness 🌿

Let’s make strong, protected, glowing skin part of your summer routine.

Movement is Medicine ✨

A little reminder as the holidays roll in — your body doesn’t need perfect, it just needs you.

A walk with friends, a stretch between naps, a splash in the pool — it all counts! 💦
Movement keeps your joints happy, your hormones balanced, and your mood lifted.

So unwrap a little joyful movement this festive season 🎁

Strength Training = Hormone Therapy (Without the Pills!) 🌸

Lifting weights isn’t just about muscles — it’s one of the most powerful ways to naturally balance your hormones. Here’s how it helps:

✨ Estrogen & Progesterone → Clears excess estrogen + boosts progesterone = fewer PMS symptoms, more stable cycles.
✨ Insulin → Improves glucose storage, lowers blood sugar spikes, balances energy & appetite.
✨ Cortisol → Builds nervous system resilience, teaching your body to handle stress without staying inflamed.
✨ Testosterone & Androgens → Supports libido, confidence, lean muscle, mental sharpness — without imbalance.

💪 In your 40s (and beyond), when estrogen & progesterone decline, strength training becomes even more important:
✅ Protects bone density
✅ Reduces belly fat
✅ Stabilises mood
✅ Prevents muscle loss (sarcopenia)

Strength isn’t just for today — it’s the smartest investment in your hormones, energy, and long-term health.
