There are lots of changes postpartum and while some symptoms are common, they’re not normal or something you need to live with- Pelvic Floor Physio can help!
✨ 1 in 3 women experience Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).
This is leaking urine with pressure through the body, like coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, lifting or jumping.
✨ Around 32% of women at 1 year postpartum report pain with s*x.
Discomfort can have many contributors including scar tissue, pelvic floor tension, hormonal changes, healing and strength changes.
✨ It’s not normal to always have to wee “just in case”, experience strong urgency, or leaking on the way to the bathroom. Your bladder can often be retrained and supported.
✨ 1 in 4 women experience Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
This is where one or more pelvic organs (bladder, uterus or bowel) become less supported and sag into the vaginal wall. It can create symptoms such as heaviness, pressure, bulging, low back pain, and toileting difficulty. Strengthening the supporting muscles, or using a Pessary can improve this.
Pelvic floor recovery isn’t just about strengthening- coordination, relaxation, breathing, pressure management and returning to exercise all matter too.
