🚽 Feel like you need to RUN to the toilet… or you might leak? 👀

That sudden, overwhelming urge to wee that feels impossible to ignore? It could be urge incontinence, and it’s something you can start to control. Don’t let your bladder rule your brain. Switch it…

👇🏼

✨ STOP RUSHING
When the urge hits, try to pause, stay calm and breathe rather than rushing straight to the toilet. Tell yourself: ‘'I am not going to wee’' ‘'I can hold this’' Control is key!

✨ ENGAGE YOUR PELVIC FLOOR
This will signal your brain to inhibit the bladder muscle, that helps stop the sudden involuntary squeeze behind the urgency.
But Kegels aren't right for everyone, so getting the right advice matters!

✨ GENTLE HEEL RAISES
Rising onto your tiptoes tenses your calves, thighs, glutes and pelvic floor, again to inhibit that bladder muscle contraction

✨ GRADUALLY BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE
With the right guidance, bladder training can help you gradually increase the time between toilet trips, rather than going every time you feel the slightest urge, stop those just incase wee’s and trust your bladder!

This is known as urge incontinence…

When you experience a sudden, strong urge to wee that's difficult to put off, sometimes leading to leakage before you reach the toilet.

The important thing to remember? There can be different reasons behind your symptoms, and what works for one person might not work for another.

A little reassurance from a couple of women we've recently supported. 🤍

We know that taking that first step can feel daunting, especially when you're coming to us about something personal, sensitive or perhaps something you've been putting off for a while.

You might feel nervous about what to expect, unsure whether your symptoms are “normal” or simply not know where to start.

That's okay, we totally understand. You don't have to have all the answers yet, but we are here to help.

We want to create a space where you feel comfortable, listened to and completely at ease, with care that is individual to you and your body.

So don't just take our word for it… 🫶🏼

Here are some words from the women we've had the privilege of supporting.

If you've been thinking about booking but feeling a little apprehensive, we're here whenever you're ready.

📩 Get in touch with The Mum Physio to find out how we can support you.

YES! 🤍

We completely understand that childcare isn’t always easy to arrange, especially when you have a little one who needs you.

So please don’t feel like you have to cancel or put off your appointment because you can’t find childcare. Your baby is always welcome at The Mum Physio. 🫶🏼
A little practical note, though… There is a flight of stairs into the studio, so while car seats are absolutely fine, prams can be a little tricky.

We’ll always do our best to make your appointment feel comfortable and relaxed, and we understand that babies don’t always stick to the plan! 😂

Need to feed?

Need to pause?

Baby needs a cuddle?

No problem.

We’re here to support YOU, and that includes understanding that sometimes your baby needs to be there too. 🤍

So if you’ve been putting off booking because you’re worried about childcare, hopefully this gives you one less thing to worry about.

📩 Get in touch with The Mum Physio to book your appointment.

Your 8-week check doesn't always tell you the full story. 👀

Diastasis recti can be overlooked during your routine postnatal checks, meaning many women are left wondering why their tummy still feels different, their core doesn't feel quite right, or certain movements don't feel the same after having a baby.

You also don't just have to “give it time” and hope it sorts itself out.

This incredible client came to us with an inter-recti distance of 7cm at rest and 4.5cm on head lift, with no tension recruitment.

With an individualised, expert-led physiotherapy rehabilitation plan and consistency, she has now achieved an inter-recti distance of 1cm and, most importantly, achieved the goals she set for herself. 🎉

❌ There was no restrictive dieting.
❌ No quick fix.
❌ No punishing workouts.

Just understanding her body, reconnecting with her core and following the right rehabilitation for her body.

Every recovery is different, and your measurements aren't the only measure of progress. But if you're concerned about your tummy, core or how your body feels after pregnancy, it's worth getting assessed.

📩 If you're unsure where to start, or you have any questions, please feel free to drop us a message.

Menopause is about so much more than hot flushes. 🤍

With World Menopause Day on 18 October, we’re shining a little more light on the changes women can experience throughout menopause, including the ones we don’t always talk about.

👉🏽 Changes to your bladder and bowel.
👉🏽 Changes to your va**nal health.
👉🏽 Changes to your muscles and strength.
👉🏽 Changes to your pelvic floor.
👉🏽 And sometimes, changes to how confident you feel in your own body.

So, if you're navigating menopause, here are 6 things worth considering when it comes to supporting your body.

🚽 Your toilet position.

🥦 Fibre + protein.

💧 Vaginal health.

💪 Strength training.

🫶🏼 Your pelvic floor.

And finally…

‼️ Don't let your pelvic floor dictate your life.

If you're avoiding exercise because you're worried about leaking, planning your day around toilets, experiencing pelvic heaviness or finding s*x uncomfortable, you don't simply have to accept it as part of menopause.

A women's health physio can assess what's happening and help you understand what your body needs.

📩 If something doesn't feel right, get in touch with The Mum Physio.

Pregnancy loss is an experience that can affect you both emotionally and physically, and while so much of the focus is understandably on the emotional impact, your physical recovery matters too.

Your body may have gone through pregnancy, hormonal changes, bleeding, pain, labour or a procedure, depending on your individual circumstances.

And you may be left with questions about your body and what happens next.

👉🏽 Is this normal?
👉🏽 Why does my body still feel different?
👉🏽 When can I return to exercise?
👉🏽 Should I still be experiencing these symptoms?
👉🏽 Who can I talk to about my physical recovery?

There is no single way to experience pregnancy loss, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to recovery.

But you still deserve care, support and the opportunity to understand what is happening with your body.

At The Mum Physio, we can support you with your individual physical recovery and help you feel more informed and confident in your body again.

You don't need to have all the answers before reaching out.
You don't need to wait until you're struggling.
And you don't have to navigate your recovery alone.

Your pregnancy may have ended. Your need for care didn't. 🤍

If you've experienced pregnancy loss and would like to talk to us about how we may be able to support you, our door is always open.

🎁 GIVEAWAY — WIN A MUMMY MOT 🎁

In honour of World Mental Health Day, we wanted to do something a little different.

Becoming a mum can be amazing, overwhelming, exhausting, emotional, joyful… sometimes all in the very same day. 🤍

And while we talk a lot about looking after our mental health, our physical and mental health are closely connected too.

Your body has been through a huge amount.

Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from it.

Maybe you’re nervous about returning to exercise.

Maybe you’re experiencing leaking, pelvic pain or discomfort.

Maybe you simply want to understand what’s happening and feel more confident in your body again.

You deserve support, to feel heard, and you deserve to look after YOU, too.

So, we’re giving one new mum the chance to WIN a Mummy MOT with The Mum Physio.

If you’re a new mum, or you know a new mum this would be perfect for, please like and tag them in this post for their chance to win.

What are we waiting for? 👀

Preparation, education, and understanding can change how we approach our health at every stage of womanhood.

Your body is constantly communicating with you. You don’t just have to put up with or ignore the signs until they become impossible to manage.

👉🏽 A little leaking.
👉🏽 Pain during s*x.
👉🏽 Pelvic or back pain.
👉🏽 Feeling weak or disconnected from your body.
👉🏽 Changes during pregnancy or after birth.
👉🏽 Symptoms during perimenopause or menopause.

These are your body’s way of telling you that something needs your attention, and you don't need to wait until you're at your breaking point to ask for support. Don’t put your own health on hold while you care for everyone else.

At The Mum Physio, we’re here to help you understand your body, feel more confident in it and get the support you deserve at every stage of womanhood.

📩 If something doesn't feel right, let's talk about it.
