Let’s Talk Exercise! Starting an exercise routine can be intimidating for people with pelvic floor or women’s health issues, especially if they’ve been advised to avoid certain activities due to specific conditions.
However, understanding our daily movements and approaching exercise thoughtfully can significantly benefit our pelvic floor health. Using exercise as a tool not only for prevention but also for managing and improving pelvic floor conditions is crucial. It’s about finding the right balance and making exercise work for us in a way that promotes both pelvic floor function specifically, as well as overall well-being.Â
Women’s Health Exercise Physiologists are highly trained professionals who specialise in addressing a range of health and fitness issues specific to women. They can provide personalised exercise programs that focus on various areas, such as:
- Pelvic floor dysfunction: Issues such as urinary incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain.
- Pregnancy: Safe exercise routines for pre and post-partum periods, including addressing diastasis recti.
- Chronic conditions: Managing symptoms and improving quality of life for conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), endometriosis, or autoimmune disorders.
- Engaging in high-intensity training at any age: Ensuring that women can safely participate in more intense forms of exercise regardless of their age.
