Blocked duct? The old advice makes it worse.

Myth: massage it as hard as you can bear.
Fact: deep massage damages tissue that is already inflamed.

Gentle strokes toward your armpit, ice between feeds, and feeding on demand do the real work.

This is what we do at Embrace Physiotherapy in Singapore, and we have appointments available this week.

“Everyone thinks a women’s health physio is for after the baby arrives.”

Preet Singh, founder and women’s health physiotherapist at Embrace Physiotherapy, Singapore’s dedicated women’s clinic, on the dialogue she wants to shift: see a physiotherapist before baby arrives, ideally before pregnancy. A preconception or prenatal physiotherapy assessment tells you where your pelvic floor and whole-body strength are starting from.

Pregnancy is a load, and your body carries it best with a plan. And no, week 6 of pregnancy is not the moment to discover F45. Hats off for the intention. Let’s build it properly together.

Filmed at MAIA House - Bespoke Doula Care in Singapore for Birth Works, one conversation with the village around pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care in Singapore: Annabelle Johnson, Encompassing Therapy and Counselling, and us.

Myth: the scale going down means fat going down.

The scale cannot tell fat from muscle, unless it's a special scale. In the landmark GLP-1 trial, women lost nearly 10% of their lean mass in 16 months. That is not a reason to stop the medicine. It is a reason to train while you take it.

And muscles includes the ones you cannot see. Your pelvic floor is a muscle group like your glutes or your quads: it responds to training, not to weight loss alone. The encouraging part? Losing weight eases pressure on your bladder, so leaks often improve. Train the floor while the weight comes off and you keep that win for good.

The recipe is not complicated. 2 strength sessions a week, protein at each meal, and your pelvic floor included in the programme. What goes is fat. What stays is you.

Runners with a prolapse usually hear one word: stop.

The evidence does not say stop. It says listen. Heaviness, dragging, or bulging during or after a run is feedback, not failure. If symptoms climb with distance or speed, you adjust the plan. You do not hand in your running shoes for good.

Plenty of women run with a prolapse, symptom free. The difference is a pelvic floor that can meet the demand: strength plus timing, pressure managed through your whole body, and a gradual build.

We wrote up what the research says about running, lifting, and prolapse. Link in bio.

Sore neck, angry wrists, and a thumb that hates every scoop and lift. Nobody warns you the 4th trimester is a repetitive lifting job.

Chia Ling, shares 3 small changes that take the load off: shoulders down with your head stacked over them, wrists in neutral, and thumbs close to your fingers when you scoop baby. Yes, mum thumb is a real thing, and it has a real fix.

Feeding, carrying, and settling add up to hours in the same positions every day. Small adjustments, repeated that often, are how you feel the difference.
These aches are common. They are also very treatable.

Chia Ling’s books are open. Link in bio.

General education, not individual medical advice. If any of these aches sound like yours, come and see us for a proper look.

“We live so far apart from our own internal experiences. Sometimes birth is one of them, especially when birth is so medicalised.”

That’s Dewi of Maia House (MAIA House - Bespoke Doula Care in Singapore), on why her word for the conversation was embodied.

Her work is service to the body: helping women come back to what they feel and know from the inside, through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

This is part of Birth Works, our conversation on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care with the people who make up the village around it.

Penny grew today. You just can’t see it yet.

One pelvic floor session will not fix anything. Neither will one gym class.
Consistency is the treatment. It is the unglamorous part nobody posts about, the dosage, the repetition, the showing up on the weeks it feels like nothing is changing.

We build programmes around what you can actually keep doing, not a perfect routine that lasts 2 weeks. Progress lives in the boring middle.

Penny followed the plan. Consistency, week after week.

Stop lifting. Avoid impact. Take it easy. If you have a prolapse, you have heard all 3.
The fear is far bigger than the evidence. The research points the other way: staying active may protect your pelvic floor, and avoiding exercise carries its own risks.

Around 1 in 3 midlife women in Singapore report prolapse symptoms. Most quietly give up the exercise they love. Often, that is the wrong move.

We wrote up what the research actually says, including whether you can lift and run.

“It’s not normal to leak. It’s not normal to have to rush to the toilet and barely make it.”

Meet Chia Ling, the newest women’s health physiotherapist at Embrace Physiotherapy.

She joined us in May as a musculoskeletal physiotherapist and is now deep in women’s health training with our team.

What pulled her into women’s health? The myth-busting. Leaking gets called a normal part of getting older so often that women stop questioning it. It is common. It is not normal. And it improves with the right exercises and advice.

Chia Ling’s books are open. Link in bio.

“Whenever I say I’m a dietitian, I always feel the need to caveat that. People get scared, like I’m going to judge what they had for dinner last night.”

That’s Annabelle Johnson (Annabelle Johnson), on why her work isn’t about cutting things out. She focuses on feeding people enough of the right things, so a sense of balance finds itself. Her word for the conversation was nourishment: for mind, body, and tummy, because we show up best for everyone else when our own cup is full.
