Melbourne Marathon is almost here!

You’ve done the long runs. You’ve tested the gels. You’ve put in the kilometres.

Now, race morning is not the time to change the plan — and that includes your pelvic health.

💧 Hydrate normally — don’t restrict fluids because you’re worried about leaking.

🚽 Avoid multiple “just in case” wees before the start.

🍌 Stick with the breakfast, fuel and hydration your body already knows.

Your bladder and pelvic floor have been training alongside you for every kilometre.

Trust the training. Trust your body. See you at the start line.

Such a great session at Westbourne CrossFit! 🏋️‍♀️✨

A huge thank you to the amazing Westbourne CrossFit community for making our pelvic health session for CrossFitters so interactive, open and engaging. I loved the questions, conversations and willingness to learn!

Pelvic health is an important part of overall health, strength and performance — and it deserves just as much attention as any other part of your training. Whether it’s managing pelvic floor symptoms, understanding pressure and breathing, returning to exercise after pregnancy, or simply learning how to train smarter, pelvic health should be part of the conversation.

Thank you to for inviting me and creating a space where these conversations can happen openly. It was such a pleasure to share, learn and connect with your community!

Here’s to stronger, more informed and confident athletes — inside and outside the gym.

💧 Your bladder is a habit learner.

Sometimes, the way we drink and use the toilet every day can influence how our bladder behaves.
Going to the toilet “just in case” all the time?
Your bladder may start getting used to emptying sooner.

Avoiding water because you don’t want to p*e?
Your urine can become more concentrated, which may irritate the bladder.

Holding on for hours because you’re busy?
That’s another habit worth looking at.
The goal isn’t to constantly think about your bladder or restrict your fluids.
It’s about regular hydration, responding to your bladder’s signals and finding a healthy balance. 🤍
And if you’re dealing with urgency, frequency, leakage or bladder discomfort, don’t assume you simply have a “weak bladder”.

There can be several factors involved — and understanding why your bladder is behaving this way is an important part of pelvic health.

At Active Pelvic Health, we look beyond the symptom to understand the bigger picture — so you can feel confident, move well and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

Your bladder shouldn’t have to run your day.

What a special evening.

Last night, we brought runners together for Injury to Performance — an evening all about breaking the cycle of recurring injuries and helping runners move from simply getting out of pain to becoming stronger, more confident and more capable.

I loved sharing my perspective as a sports and pelvic health physiotherapist, talking about the things runners often overlook — not just where it hurts, but what changed, training load, capacity, fatigue, recovery, whole-body movement and how we progressively return to the demands of running.
Together with James Ballantyne, we then explored what it takes to move beyond rehabilitation and into performance — building the strength, capacity and physical qualities needed to handle running demands and keep progressing.

The biggest message of the night?

Don’t just rehab the injury. Build the runner.

Because the goal isn’t simply to get back to running.

It’s to get back to the running you love — whether that’s your first 5K, your weekly long run, chasing a PB, returning after injury or simply feeling strong and confident in your body again.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, asked questions, shared their experiences and made the evening so engaging. It was such a pleasure to see so many runners invested in understanding their bodies and their performance.
And a special thank you to James and the James Ballantyne | Strength & Conditioning Coach for such a great collaboration.

Here’s to fewer cycles of injury → rest → return → flare-up — and more Survive → Perform → Thrive.
