For Day 5 of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week, the theme is Connect.

Bladder leakage, pelvic pain and symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse are common, but you don’t have to manage them alone. In fact, up to 40% of women experience urinary incontinence.

A pelvic health physiotherapist can assess how your pelvic floor muscles are functioning and provide education, practical strategies and an exercise program tailored to your needs.

Simple habits that may support your pelvic health include:

💧 Drinking enough fluid throughout the day
🥗 Eating a fibre-rich diet
🚶‍♀️ Staying active
🚽 Avoiding frequent ‘just in case’ toilet visits
🪑 Using a footstool and avoiding straining when opening your bowels
💪 Learning how to activate and relax your pelvic floor correctly

Connecting with your GP or a pelvic health physiotherapist can be an important first step towards understanding and managing your symptoms.

For Day 4 of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week, we’re focusing on something we do every day without giving it much thought: breathing.

Feeling short of breath during pregnancy is common. Hormonal changes cause you to breathe more deeply, while your growing uterus moves the diaphragm upwards and your lower ribs expand to create more space.

Two gentle breathing techniques may help:

💫 Lateral basal expansion breathing

Sit comfortably and place your hands around your lower ribs. Slowly breathe in through your nose, feeling your ribs expand sideways into your hands. Pause briefly if comfortable, then exhale slowly. Repeat for 5–10 relaxed breaths.

💫 Pursed-lip breathing

Breathe in gently through your nose for approximately two seconds. Purse your lips as though you’re blowing out a candle, then slowly breathe out for four seconds. Keeping the exhale longer than the inhale can help slow and settle your breathing.

While mild breathlessness can be a normal part of pregnancy, seek medical advice for new, sudden or severe shortness of breath, particularly if accompanied by chest pain, fainting, heart palpitations or difficulty breathing at rest.

A women’s health physiotherapist can assess your breathing, rib movement and posture and provide exercises suited to your pregnancy.

For Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week, we’re celebrating something that can be surprisingly difficult to prioritise: rest.

Sleep is an important part of our physical and mental health, helping our bodies repair, recover and recharge. Poor or interrupted sleep can affect energy, mood, concentration, pain sensitivity and recovery from exercise or injury.

But getting a good night’s sleep isn’t always as simple as “just get more sleep”. Perimenopause, menopause, shift work and caring for young children can all make quality sleep harder to achieve.

Sleep Health Australia recommends:

🌙 Keeping regular sleep and wake times where possible
🌙 Allowing an hour to relax before bed
🌙 Keeping work and screens out of the bedroom where possible
🌙 Getting natural sunlight during the day
🌙 Avoiding evening naps if they affect your sleep
🌙 Getting out of bed for a while if you’ve been awake for around 20 minutes
🌙 Aiming for around 7–9 hours of sleep, while recognising individual needs vary

The goal isn’t perfect sleep. It’s finding realistic ways to support your rest and recovery within your own circumstances.

Remember: rest is productive. Even small changes can make a difference.

Today the team celebrated World Physiotherapy Day with an extra long lunch & toasties at Dijon 🥪

This year’s theme highlights the role of physiotherapy and physical activity in the prevention, management and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease and stroke, and the important work physiotherapists do to support the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities every day.

Happy World Physiotherapy Day to our wonderful team and physios everywhere!

It’s Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week! This year’s theme is ‘Do It Anyway’, encouraging women to prioritise their health, even when life gets busy.

We’ll be covering a different topic each day, starting with Day 1: To Fuel.

Nutrition supports our energy, muscles, bones, recovery and ability to stay active. Importantly, our nutritional needs change throughout life.

🌟 Pregnancy
Folate, iodine, iron, calcium and protein help support both mum and baby.

🌟 Breastfeeding
Adequate energy, protein, calcium and iodine support recovery, health and milk production. Eating regularly is more important than eating ‘perfectly’.

🌟 Perimenopause
Protein, calcium and vitamin D become increasingly important for maintaining muscle and bone strength, alongside resistance and weight-bearing exercise.

🌟 Menopause and beyond
As falling oestrogen accelerates bone loss, adequate protein, calcium and vitamin D can help maintain healthy bones and muscles.

Throughout every stage, think about what you can add:

🥚 Regular sources of protein
🥦 Vegetables, fruit and wholegrains
🥛 Calcium-rich foods
🥑 Healthy fats
💧 Plenty of water
🏃‍♀️ Enough food to fuel your activity

Prioritise consistency over perfection. You don’t have to do it perfectly. Just do it anyway.

Individual nutritional needs vary. Speak with your GP or an Accredited Practising Dietitian if you have concerns about your nutrition.

Sorry, we can’t talk right now … we’re busy trying to find the ‘perfect’ posture. 🤔

Plot twist: there probably isn’t one.

Research suggests there is no single sitting posture that is best for everyone. Even physiotherapists don’t always agree on what the ‘ideal’ position looks like!

That doesn’t mean posture is irrelevant. Some positions may feel more comfortable or supportive depending on the person, the task and how long they stay there. But a posture that looks ‘poor’ isn’t automatically harmful, just as sitting perfectly upright doesn’t guarantee you’ll avoid pain.

Rather than rigidly correcting yourself all day, focus on:

✔️ Changing positions regularly
✔️ Taking movement breaks
✔️ Finding positions that feel comfortable
✔️ Building your tolerance to the sitting your day requires

You can sit upright, lean back, shift your weight, cross your legs or even slouch occasionally. Movement and variation may matter more than perfection.

Your posture doesn’t need to be perfect. Your body needs to be adaptable.
