When it comes to pelvic health, many women do not immediately associate walking with strengthening the pelvic floor muscles or alleviating symptoms of incontinence and prolapse. However, contrary to popular belief, walking can be an excellent form of exercise for those experiencing any number of pelvic health concerns. In this blog, we will debunk the misconception that walking is detrimental to ...

 I get asked repeatedly in my physiotherapy clinic and my Pelvic Power Movement Community whether ladies who experience prolapse can and should be exercising. For many, a prolapse diagnosis hits them hard, and the huge fear is that it is a life sentence that will stop them from ever doing the things they enjoy again. And for most, this is not true.

Knowing the right balance between keeping act...

You might be surprised to know that it is often our daily habits and practices that impact our pelvic floor the most. 

Lets look at some super simple quick fix approaches to help you see the fastest results. 

So…. Why is sitting so bad you might ask? 

Well...... now you've really got me up on my soap box. 

Sitting slumped on the sofa is possibly one of the worst things you can do f...

I want to discuss a topic that isn't always discussed outside of my community but affects many of us: pelvic organ prolapse. If you're a woman in your 20s and beyond, chances are you've heard about it or even experienced it firsthand. The mere mention of prolapse can send shivers down your spine, conjuring up fears about exercise, sex, having more children, and the need for surgery. But fear not! ...

In our community, the same question is asked time and time again…how do I know if something is “wrong” with my vagina. And it’s an excellent question. So many women ask this because we are not encouraged to get to know our vaginas at any point in our lives. Not when we are at school, not during sex education, not as we go through puberty, and most surprising of all, not when we are starting a fami...

The Covid Cough: How to Avoid Prolapse Deterioration 

2020 started like any other year, but just a few weeks later, Covid became a massive part of our lives. Back then, we didn’t know how much it would control what we did on a daily basis, and we also had no idea that our lives would still be affected so dramatically almost two years later.

Pelvic organ prolapse affects 50% of women globally a...

There is no disputing that when our babies are born, they receive the best possible care. They are loved and cherished as they deserve; those tiny, precious human beings place this huge responsibility in our hands. For most of the population, we embrace that responsibility and wear it as a badge of honour. We want to nurture them. It comes instinctively. But what about us? Are we loved and cherish...

Running after prolapse…can we, can’t we?

Why is it that women never talk about their vaginas unless there is something wrong with them? I am not for one minute suggesting we all need to be discussing them over coffee and cake, but why are our “lady parts”, as we often refer to them, such a taboo?

At different stages of our lives, many women encounter pelvic health concerns such as prolapse and i...

There is a question that I get asked a lot. It’s not a particularly pleasant question, but it is one that everyone should know the answer to. It’s also a question that many people don’t ask because they are scared to hear the answer. But it’s time we spoke about taboo subjects more; it’s time to stop them from being taboo!

The question I get asked is, “Is there a happy life after prolapse?”.
