🧐 QUICK PELVIC HEALTH QUIZ…
Question 1: Do men have a pelvic floor?
YES! 😂 Men have pelvic floor muscles too. They help with bladder and bowel control, sexual function, posture and movement.
Question 2: Is every pelvic floor concern fixed by doing more squeezes or “strengthening your core”?
NO.
A pelvic floor can be weak, but it can also be tight, overactive or poorly coordinated. Two people can have similar symptoms and need completely different things.
So no… more squeezing is not always the answer.
Question 3: Is bladder leakage simply something women have to accept after having a baby or getting older?
ALSO NO.
Almost 4 in 10 Australian women experience incontinence, and 7 in 10 Australians living with incontinence are under 65.
It is common, but it is not something women should be told to put up with.
Alycia is a physiotherapist from You Move Health & Rehab who has completed further training in pelvic health. She can properly assess what is happening and help with things like leakage, urgency, prolapse, pain, postnatal recovery, C-section scarring and returning to movement safely.
She is not simply handing out a generic list of pelvic floor exercises. She is looking at the individual woman and what her body actually needs.
If you are leaking, feeling heaviness or pain, worried about prolapse, or simply unsure whether it is safe to return to exercise, go and see Alycia. Let her assess what is actually happening and give you the right clinical guidance.
Having this level of pelvic health physiotherapy available here in Emerald is a really big deal for local women.
Amazing work, Alycia. This is such a valuable service for Emerald and the Central Highlands. 💛
And then we have our Jacki from The Wright Touch.
Jacki teaches Mat Pilates and Shapes at Align, and I will say this without hesitation:
She is the best Pilates instructor I have ever met.
Her knowledge of bodies, movement, fascia and all those little “niggly bits” is incredible. She watches people move, adjusts what they are doing and knows when something doesn’t look or feel right.
Jacki has actually stopped Kathryn from doing a movement before, and I don’t know many people who can manage that! 😂
She also knows when something needs a physiotherapist and refers people instead of pretending she can fix everything herself. That is one of the many reasons she is so good at what she does.
Alycia and Jacki work in completely different realms but how well those realms can complement each other are amazing!!
Go team pelvic floor!!! ❤💕🪂💗
