Core & Floor Chat with Holly
So, you’ve realised your pelvic floor isn’t totally invincible? And perhaps that’s freaking you out. You might be spiralling down the rabbit hole of Google searches, self-blame and thoughts of ‘will I ever feel the same again?’
Or perhaps you’re just a little unsure of where to begin with your pelvic floor or core? And need a little one on one with us.
What should you be doing now? How can you start reducing your symptoms? What exercises are safe? Is it too soon to exercise? Is my vagina meant to feel like this? Should I see a pelvic floor therapist? Or will my GP help me?
Yep, we get you. There are a million questions that crop up in both pregnancy and postpartum. And you could spend a few days on google or try an online forum… but it’s all pretty generic. Or based on someone else’s experience. And that experience isn’t yours. The advice is not tailored to your body and what you’ve been through. We are here to help.
The short answer: Anything you need. From the physical to the emotional head fuc&ery that can come with experiencing something different in this space. There’s a lot that we can talk through.
But to give you an idea, these are the topics often covered in my chats:
- Pelvic floor concerns – tightness, weakness, who to see, what to do, massage, dilators… ask me what you need!
- Prolapse – my vagina is falling out, what does this mean? HELP! (We see you deeply!)
- Sex – need I say more
- Core – are you sure I’ve still got one?
- Diastasis Recti – Is surgery the answer?
- "Safe" exercise and when you can start?
- Pregnancy, postpartum and future birth concerns
Ask us anything. We can floor it out together.
These sessions are conducted online via zoom by our Core and Floor Restore Physiotherapist Holly. She is also trained in breast health and the Art of Birth Debriefing so can hold you very holistically. You can check out her profile here. Any questions please get in touch xx CFR team.
