How many times have you heard that something is “just part of being a woman”?

Certain symptoms can become so familiar that we stop questioning them. We work around them, change what we do, or simply assume they’re something we have to accept.

But your experience deserves more than being dismissed as “normal”.

Whether it’s changes after having a baby, bladder or bowel symptoms, pelvic pain, painful s*x or changes during perimenopause and menopause, understanding the reason behind your symptoms can help you make informed choices about your health.

You don’t have to wait until it’s significantly impacting your life before reaching out for support. 💙

Did you know that pelvic girdle pain affects up to 1 in 5 women during pregnancy?

Pelvic girdle pain can cause discomfort around the p***c bone, hips, groin, lower back or buttocks. Symptoms may be more noticeable with walking, stairs, getting in and out of the car, standing on one leg or turning in bed.

Although pelvic girdle pain is common during pregnancy, you don’t have to simply put up with it. 💙

Sitting shouldn't have to hurt!

If you're experiencing pain around your tailbone, you may be experiencing coccydynia. This can make everyday things like sitting, getting up from a chair, driving or exercising uncomfortable.

Coccydynia can have a number of causes, including:

💙 Trauma, such as a backwards fall or injury
💙 Pregnancy and childbirth
💙 Prolonged sitting or poor sitting posture
💙 Changes in body weight that reduce cushioning around the coccyx

As pelvic floor physiotherapists, we look beyond the pain itself to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and how we can help you get back to moving and sitting more comfortably.

Think your tailbone pain might be coccydynia? Don't just put up with it.

Book in with one of our experienced physiotherapists by calling 9431 2530 or visiting our website.

💧 Hydration matters for more than just staying refreshed. Drinking enough water supports healthy bladder function, bowel regularity and overall pelvic floor health. Keep sipping throughout the day!

💧Seek advice from one of our pelvic health physiotherapists if you have pain, leakage, difficulty emptying your bladder or bowel, or feeling pelvic pressure.

A healthy bowel movement generally shouldn’t require lots of straining, breath-holding or prolonged sitting on the toilet.

A few simple habits can help:

🌿 Don’t ignore the urge
When your body says it’s time to go, try to respond rather than regularly holding on.

🪑 Get your position right
Try placing your feet on a small stool so your knees sit slightly higher than your hips. This can help put your body in a more bowel-friendly position.

🌬️ Breathe, don’t brace
Instead of holding your breath and pushing hard, try relaxing your belly and pelvic floor while breathing steadily.

💧 Support your stool
Adequate fluids, fibre and regular movement can all contribute to softer, easier-to-pass stools.

⏰ Give yourself time
Rushing or repeatedly delaying bowel movements can make things more difficult.

And remember: you shouldn't have to force a bowel movement.

Back pain during pregnancy can make everyday things like walking, sleeping, exercising or getting up and down feel much harder.

As your body changes throughout pregnancy, increased load, changes in posture and movement, and changes around the pelvis can all contribute to back pain.

While back pain is common, you don’t have to simply put up with it. A pelvic floor physiotherapist can assess your symptoms and help you find safe, practical ways to manage your pain throughout pregnancy.
