Quickie notes from the physio room

A few things patients are often surprised to learn:

- Perineal massage isn’t just about stretching tissue.
Biofeedback, breathwork, anatomical awareness, and growing familiarity with your own body all shape our bodily experiences.
- Groin chafing with no visible skin changes isn’t always dermatological. Once skin causes are ruled out, it’s worth considering the pelvic nerves. Not a diagnosis - just a prompt to look further if the usual explanations don’t fit.
- Understanding your postpartum core and intra-abdominal pressure can build self-efficacy before you’ve done a single exercise. Confidence in how your body works, not muscle gain - that comes later.
- Hypermobility often shows up as pelvic floor tension. Not weakness. Tension.

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth a conversation with a pelvic health physio.

Happy weekend friends!!

With love for you and pelvic floors 🫶

Do you contort, wrap and twist your arms and legs to find comfort? And do you have pelvic health concerns?

This might be your little nudge to reach out to a pelvic health provider for an assessment.

For now:

Unclench and
Take a deep breath

How foreign does it feel to be the recipient of care?

We try to stretch. Drink more water. Get enough sleep (“sleep when the baby sleeps” right 😂) to tick self care off the list.

But phew, it’s too easy to deprioritize ourselves with the demands we bear.

SKIN | FACIALS | PEELS | MICRONEEDLING | UMHLANGA treated this tired mama to a much needed facial curated to breastfeeding and sensitivity. (Yes you can still have a glorious facial when breastfeeding!). I anticipated an hour to myself in Anja’s caring hands. What I didn’t expect was how unfamiliar it felt to simply receive care.

No one needed feeding. No one needed holding. No one was asking anything of me. It was just quiet and someone else’s hands caring for my body without expecting anything in return.

The quiet care felt healing and it caught me off guard.

As a pelvic health physio, I spend a lot of time talking about the nervous system. It doesn’t only respond to stress. It also remembers what safety feels like.

These moments reminded me how receiving care can be just as important as giving it.

Thank you, SKIN | FACIALS | PEELS | MICRONEEDLING | UMHLANGA , for the reminder.

If you’re somewhere in the fourth trimester… or the fifth, sixth, or you can’t recall the last time you were on the receiving end of care… I hope that this serves as a reminder (or a gift idea 😉) that your body deserves care.

Last slide - me moaning about my skin a few weeks before 😅

I urge you to: read the slides and reflect on the safety and calm you might feel in certain contexts and whether you have felt that in healthcare ❤️

Some symptoms don’t appear out of nowhere.
They’ve been there - quietly managed, compensated for, normalised. It’s often only when the hormonal landscape shifts in perimenopause or beyond that the body stops masking or starts unveiling what it has been carrying.

This isn’t failure. It’s information.
If you’ve been noticing changes - new or long-standing, you deserve thorough assessment and care. Start the conversation with your provider 🙏

There are options, and it is not too late.

Save this if it resonates and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Alexandra Dubinskaya MD, FACOG, NCMP, IF recently made a post about OASIS - sphincter injuries that make their debut in the menopausal transition. “De novo” incontinence. Head over and have a read!

Back in the office and so grateful for the incredible women I’ve had the privilege of meeting so far.

One thing is certain: women are so darn resilient. The capacity to endure, the determination to seek answers and the courage to keep advocating for themselves despite the dismissal that exists far too often in the field of pelvic health, it never stops moving me.

You deserve to be heard, believed and supported. Honoured to walk alongside each and every one of you. 🤍

Last day of maternity leave.

I already feel a strange sense of inertia. A piece of me stays with Charlotte every time we’re apart and it feels magnetic, pulling me back towards her.

This year has been the most tumultuous of my life. It has stretched me in ways I never expected. It has been beautiful, exhausting, joyful, overwhelming and deeply humbling all at once.

On Monday I return to work but today I sat with gratitude for the privilege of this time. For the slow mornings that somehow disappeared so quickly. For the contact naps, the hours spent rocking her, the endless settling, the Googling, the second-guessing, the tiny milestones, the laughter, the tears and the countless ordinary moments that quietly became the centre of my world.

Maternity leave is ending but it feels less like closing a chapter and more like learning how to hold two versions of myself at the same time. Not leaving one behind for the other but making space for both.

Here’s to carrying both: the clinician I am and the mother I’ve become. 🤍
