I’ve worked as a pelvic health physio in the postnatal space for nearly 20 years and these are the 3 things I wish more women knew after having a baby.

Too many mums are either told to “wait until 6 weeks” for everything… or are cleared for exercise without any real assessment of their pelvic floor, abdominal wall, prolapse symptoms or overall recovery.

The reality? Postnatal recovery and return to exercise should be individualised.

💜 Early strength work can often be helpful
💜 Avoiding unnecessary deconditioning matters
💜 Returning to running or high impact exercise is about readiness — not just a date on the calendar

“Maybe this is just normal…”

We hear this from women all the time about things like:

- painful periods
- leaking when exercising or sneezing
- painful s*x
- ongoing fatigue
- heavy bleeding
- hormone symptoms
- pelvic pain after birth

But just because something is common, doesn’t mean it’s something you need to simply put up with.

Our GP team takes a women’s-health focused approach to care, helping you investigate symptoms properly, understand what’s going on in your body and access the right support.

If something has been bothering you for a while, this could be your sign to stop brushing it off 💜

Endometriosis affects 1 in 7 women… yet so many are still told painful periods are “normal.”

As part of Pelvic Pain Awareness Month, we want to help raise awareness around the signs and symptoms of endometriosis - because persistent pelvic pain deserves to be taken seriously.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This can cause inflammation, pain and sometimes scarring.

Common symptoms can include:
- Painful periods that aren’t relieved by simple pain relief
- Heavy bleeding or bleeding between cycles
- Pain with in*******se
- Pain with bowel motions or urination
- Bloating or nausea
- Fertility challenges

A Pelvic Health Physiotherapist can help by:
- Supporting pain management
- Treating pelvic floor dysfunction
- Assisting with bladder and bowel symptoms
- Helping reduce pain with in*******se
- Guiding safe and appropriate exercise
- Supporting nervous system regulation

You do not have to “just put up with it.”

If pelvic pain is impacting your quality of life, support is available 💜

Tired of being told to “just eat healthier”? 💜

Women’s health nutrition is so much more than restrictive diets and cutting out your favourite foods.

- Energy levels
- Overall wellbeing

Whether you’re navigating PCOS, endometriosis, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, digestive issues or simply wanting to feel better in your body, Maddi works with women at every stage of life, from teenagers through to menopause and beyond.

And no, you don’t have to track every meal to see results

Prolapse management is not as simple as better pelvic floor strength = less prolapse

Pelvic floor muscles often hold too much tension and learning how to relax them could be a key part of decreasing your prolapse symptoms.

Vaginal support pessaries can be a very important puzzle piece in the conservative management of prolapse. These can act “like an ankle brace for your vagina” and allow you to move and exercise with less symptoms.

A prolapse diagnosis does not mean you can never lift heavy or run again.

If you’re experiencing prolapse symptoms, our Women’s Health Physios can help you better understand your body and create a personalised management plan to support your goals and lifestyle.
