Some say the jaw is a mirror of the pelvis and an imbalance in one can affect the other.

That’s because of connections from early on in embryo development, facial connections and the dura.

Relaxing the jaw can have a direct influence on the pelvic floor! This is an important tip for labour, relaxing the jaw will help relax the pelvic floor.

It would also be helpful to check in with the jaw and any release tension there if you experience any pain or tightness in the pelvis.

Let's change that stat. I often think everyone knows about pelvic health and what's normal, what's common, where and what help you can get because I'm right in the thick of it but it's not common knowledge. Pelvic floor dysfunction can be isolating, people don't always open up about issues related to pelvic health, it can have stigma attached or perhaps it's just not known that there is help available and you don't need to differ in silence.

You are here so I'm hoping you are aware of pelvic health physio and the benefits of it. Do spread the word. Let's normalise speaking up about pelvic health problems. Let's get the word out and spread awareness.

Let's not let women suffer unnecessarily for years on end.

While incontinence may be more bothersome and common for the older population it does not have to be inevitable.

Incontinence can happen to anyone but tends to be more common in the elderly because of possible structural changes to the muscles, nerves and organs.

What can we do to help? There’s plenty!

Let’s start with
✅Pelvic floor muscle training

✅Ensure you are taking on approx1.5-2litres of fluid per day

✅Avoid going to the loo ‘just in case’

✅Avoid bladder irritants

✅Exercise regularly

If you need any help with incontinence or would like a pelvic floor check to ‘future proof your pelvic floor’ go see your local pelvic health physio. I’m in Galway city. It’s never too late!

Most babies don’t show a clear preference for their left or right hand until they are about 2 or 3 years of age, while some may as early as 18 months.
