If someone says they’re a Pelvic Health Physio... what’s the first thing that comes to your mind?

For most people it’s:
👉 “Kegels.”
👉 “Postpartum.”
👉 “Internal exams.”

The reality is completely different.
We’re movement experts who help women overcome bladder leaks, pelvic pain, prolapse, bowel issues, pregnancy-related symptoms, manage back pain, hip pain, headaches, jaw pain, reduce injury risk,return to sport, and build confidence in their bodies.

Pelvic health isn’t about avoiding exercise—it’s about helping you do the things you love without symptoms holding you back.

💬 Which myth have you believed before? I’d love to hear it below.

If you’ve been faithfully doing Kegels but you’re still leaking... you’re not failing. You may simply be treating the wrong problem.

Bladder leakage is a symptom—not a diagnosis.
While weak pelvic floor muscles can contribute, they’re only one piece of a much bigger picture. Your breathing, abdominal wall, hip muscles, movement patterns, bowel habits and the way you manage pressure all influence bladder control.
That’s why two women with the exact same symptom can need completely different treatment plans.
One may benefit from strengthening.
Another may need to learn how to relax an overactive pelvic floor.
Someone else may simply need to change how they breathe or brace during exercise.
The best treatment isn’t the one you find online—it’s the one that’s based on why you’re leaking.
At Active Pelvic Health, we don’t just ask “How strong is your pelvic floor?” We ask “What’s driving your symptoms?” Because when you understand the cause, treatment becomes more effective and confidence in your body returns.

Save this post if you’ve ever wondered why your symptoms haven’t improved despite doing “all the right things.”

One of the biggest myths in pelvic health?

👉 Your pelvic floor works alone.
It doesn’t.

Your pelvic floor is part of a team that includes:
✔️ Gluteus maximus
✔️ Gluteus medius
✔️ Deep hip rotators
✔️ Abdominal wall
✔️ Diaphragm
Research has shown that combining hip strengthening with pelvic floor muscle training can produce better improvements in pelvic floor strength and urinary incontinence than pelvic floor training alone.
So if you’ve been doing Kegels for months without seeing results...

👉 It might be time to stop focusing only on your pelvic floor.

At Active Pelvic Health, we assess how your whole body moves because the pelvic floor doesn’t function in isolation.

💬 Have you ever been prescribed hip strengthening as part of your pelvic floor rehab?

“The pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation... so why do we keep rehabilitating it that way?”

A planned C-section ≠ your pelvic floor gets the day off.

Yes, a planned C-section can reduce the risk of some pelvic floor injuries compared with vaginal birth—but pregnancy itself has already placed months of load on your pelvic floor.

Research shows that urinary incontinence still affects many women after Caesarean birth, and pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy and postpartum reduces the risk of urinary incontinence and supports recovery.

Your pelvic floor is about more than birth—it’s part of your breathing, core strength, bladder control and return to exercise.

Different birth. Same pelvic floor. Train it.

Your bladder is influenced by more than you think.
Hydration, bowel health, pelvic floor function, breathing and daily habits all play a role.

If urgency, frequency or leaks are affecting your day, its worth finding out why.

Save this for healthier bladder habits.

Your body is more connected than you might think.

Understanding how your body works is the first step towards moving with confidence, exercising without fear, and making informed decisions about your health.

At Active Pelvic Health, we’re passionate about empowering women through education, movement, and evidence-based care—because every woman deserves to understand her body.

What’s one thing you wish you’d been taught about pelvic health sooner?

Not every physiotherapist will want this job... and that’s exactly the point.

We’re not looking for someone who’s simply searching for their next role.

We’re looking for the physio who gets excited by movement.

The one who asks “Why?” before jumping to an answer.

The one who believes women deserve more than being told to stop running, stop lifting or just “live with it.”

At Active Pelvic Health, we don’t just treat pelvic health.

We help women survive, perform and thrive—whether that’s returning to CrossFit, chasing a marathon PB, navigating pregnancy, or simply feeling strong and confident in their own body again.

If you’re the kind of clinician who:
- Loves movement and exercise-based rehabilitation
- Is naturally curious and enjoys clinical reasoning
- Wants to learn, grow and challenge yourself
- Believes pelvic health and performance belong together
- Wants to make a genuine impact on active women’s lives
..we’d love to meet you.

This isn’t just another physiotherapy job.

It might be the clinic you’ve been looking for.

To every woman who has trusted us with your care, recommended us to a friend, shared your journey, or simply walked through our doors...

Thank you. 💜

This milestone belongs to all of us.

As we celebrate our first birthday, we’re even more excited for what’s ahead—continuing to help women not just survive, but perform and thrive in everything they love.

Here’s to every breakthrough, every comeback, every finish line, every new beginning... and many more years of supporting our incredible community.

Happy 1st Birthday, Active Pelvic Health.

We’d love to hear from you—if you’ve been part of our journey, share your favourite memory or leave us a birthday message below.

**Did you know your abdominal wall and pelvic floor muscles are directly connected?**

During pregnancy and birth, both muscles stretch and work harder than ever. Recovering one without the other can affect how your body manages pressure, supports your spine, and returns to movement.

At Active Pelvic Health, we assess and retrain the connection between your abdominal wall and pelvic floor so you can recover with confidence—not guesswork.
