I completely understand the journey of a new mom: it’s like a roller coaster ride – filled with fun-filled moments, feeling proud to bring a little human into this amazing world, and at the same time feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of both physical and emotional demands. Many new mums discover that women’s pelvic health physio in Blacktown helps them recover and feel stronger.
Motherhood should be a beautiful journey for everyone; sometimes the changes our body has gone through during pregnancy bring physical and emotional challenges on board in the postpartum journey, when recovery and healing feels longer. Every pregnancy is different, and so is the postnatal recovery. For postnatal women in Blacktown (new mothers in Blacktown) dealing with challenges like pelvic floor weakness, back pain, or bladder concerns that can feel overwhelming and isolating, it’s time to remind yourself- despite these issues being common, they are not there to stay with you forever after you have given birth.
This is where we can support you, women in Blacktown and the surrounding suburbs, with pelvic floor dysfunction. Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapy at Procure Physio is your go-to place so that we can guide and support you in your postnatal recovery – Procure Way!
Our women’s health physio has designed all our pre- and postnatal programs with compassion and an evidence-based approach to help you reclaim your strength, mobility, and confidence so you can return and enjoy your favorite activities.
Understanding Women’s Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Women’s pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialty in itself in the physiotherapy world to support females in various stages of life, from puberty, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, and beyond. Women’s health physios are there to support you in issues which you might be hesitant to talk about, such as:.
- Pelvic floor dysfunction – which could be related to weakness, tightness, or poor activation, leading to pelvic floor dyssynergia
- Urine leakage or Incontinence
Stress Urinary Incontinence – leaking urine with coughing, sneezing, or laughing, or gentle activities like lifting, walking, or jogging
Urge incontinence or urgency, rushing to the toilet and unable to make it on time, ending up leaking or having increased toilet trips
Prolapse symptoms include a dragging feeling of heaviness or noticing bulging in the vaginal area while wiping
- Postnatal recovery needs
– Abdominal separation (DRAM): noticing any domingo tenting in the abdominal area with gentle movements like getting in and out of bed
-Ongoing mid-back, lower back, or pelvic girdle pain
– C-section Recovery: Scar tissue recovery – ongoing pain and sensitivity
– Mastitis: Gentle physiotherapy can help relieve breast pain, reduce inflammation, improve milk flow, and support a comfortable breastfeeding journey.
- Pain during intimacy – could be an entry pain with sex or deep thudding pain during intercourse, termed as Vaginismus or Dysmenorrhoea
- Painful Periods – could be hormonal issues, endometriosis, or adenomyosis
- Bowel Issues – constipation, Incomplete emptying, fecal incontinence
- Perineal Tears – grade 2 to 4 perineal tears during pregnancy, impacting your bowel control
Generally, women presenting with any of the above-mentioned symptoms end up believing that pelvic floor exercises known as Kegels or core strengthening are the fix for all pelvic health-related issues. But the reality check is – it’s not a one fit kind of game.
I intentionally mentioned all the fancy names of various conditions next to symptoms or problems you might be facing so that I can create that stir inside you to understand that what you are feeling as a symptom needs to be thoroughly assessed and investigated to provide you with the right treatment. No doubt Kegel, aka pelvic floor strengthening, holds a special place in pelvic floor rehab, but it is not a fix for everything.
That’s where our program makes a difference: “Understanding Women’s Pelvic Health – Procure Way !”.
Our motto, “Freedom in Movement,” is aligned with giving women back the freedom to move, laugh, and live without fear or discomfort.
