• A chat about your birth and recovery
• Pelvic floor assessment (if you’re comfortable)
• Abdominal muscle check (for separation)
• Bladder & bowel habits

Short answer: YES ✔️

After your first trimester, a pelvic floor assessment can be really beneficial.

It can help:
• Improve awareness and connection
• Ensure you’re doing exercises correctly
• Support symptoms like leaking or heaviness
• Help manage pelvic pain
• Prepare for birth and recovery

We’ll always check what’s appropriate for you first, your comfort and safety come first.

🏃‍♂️ Love running? Staying injury-free is what keeps you doing it long term.

Whether you’re training for your next race, getting back into running, or heading out for a weekend jog, the small things you do consistently can make a huge difference to injury risk.

At You First Physio, we see a lot of running-related injuries - and many are preventable with the right support and training habits.

Here are 5 key areas that help reduce injury risk 👇

✔ Training load & recovery
✔ Sleep
✔ Nutrition
✔ Strength training
✔ Running technique

Sometimes it’s not about stopping running - it’s about improving how your body is coping with it 🏃‍♀️

Already noticing a ni**le? Don’t ignore it.

Early assessment is one of the best ways to stop a small issue becoming a bigger injury.

Signs it’s time to book in:

• Pain during or after running
• Pain affecting walking
• Swelling, limping, or stiffness
• A ni**le not improving with rest

We can help with:

✔ Running injury rehab
✔ Strength programmes for runners
✔ Running assessments
✔ Return-to-running plans
✔ Injury prevention strategies

Because getting back to running pain-free, and staying there, is the goal 🙌
