So many women put up with things for years. Ladies put up with painful sex, prolapse symptoms where it feels like your insides are falling out through your vagina, leaking bladders, constipation or chronic pain in the hips or back.
Why?
Sometimes, it’s because they don’t know we exist but more often than not, it’s because they thought their symptoms were part of being a woman. Part of life. Things you had to go through, because your mum and grandma did. Often, they feel ashamed of their problems. Like it’s a dirty secret that should be hidden away.
We would like you to repeat after me. You. Deserve. Better.
We’ve had women come to us after decades of embarrassment with issues leaking bladders and constipation or bowel incontinence. They hardly wanted to leave the house. After just a few sessions we were able to get them drier, confident and get their lives back. The only thing they wish, is that they’d seen us sooner.
One in three women suffer from incontinence (whether you’ve had a baby or not) and as many as 50% of women also have vaginal prolapse. But incontinence is NOT a normal part of having a baby or aging.
Ladies, enough already. Just because pelvic problems are common, doesn’t mean it’s normal! Often pelvic problems are due to issues with the pelvic floor muscles which can be weak, poorly controlled or too tight. Pelvic floor exercises can help muscles that are too weak, but they can cause more trouble if done incorrectly. A comprehensive assessment with our pelvic health physiotherapists can help you discover your potential and start your recovery – and the stats are on your side! Research shows that physiotherapy is effective in improving stress incontinence in up to 80% of cases.
We can help get things working fabulously again. For those looking to get pregnant or are ready to pop, we can help you prepare your body and pelvis for the extraordinary experience of childbirth. From high performance athletes to ladies entering their menopausal years, we have proven solutions to help every body be its best.
We collaborate with other health professionals to ensure you get the absolute best care – many of whom refer to us as they know we look for the cause of the problem, so we can get lasting improvements.
