Why I love what I do 🩵

I have been practicing physiotherapy for almost 20
years now, with 15 of those working in pelvic health.

Early in my career I was lucky enough have some great mentors who taught me how to treat my clients with, what I consider the perfect combination of compassion and empathy.

I am fully invested in my client’s progress and success (sometimes too much).

I’m not driven by the number of ‘clients I can see’. I care about your journey and quality of life.

Holding space for my patients and being able to assist them in problem solving is one of the greatest privileges.

Pelvic pain can be a persistent and challenging condition to live with, and can impact your daily activities and overall well-being.

One highly beneficial tool in managing pelvic pain is movement and exercise
Exercise can help alleviate discomfort, enhance muscle function, and support your physical and mental health. Other benefits can include:

- Reducing pain sensitivity
- Supports pelvic floor function
- Reduces Inflammation
- Boosts energy and fights fatigue

Incorporating exercise into your routine can make a noticeable difference. It’s not just about lifting heavy weights - it’s about improving muscle strength, providing stability, and promoting overall body function.

By strengthening key muscles, reducing inflammation, and improving your energy levels, you can make steady progress in managing your symptoms.

Reach out at www.katiepelvicphysio.com.au, and we can help guide you in your exercise journey and help you pick the right form of movement for where your body is at.

Remember, every small step counts, and with time and dedication, you’ll begin to notice positive changes in your body and daily life.

When should you see a pelvic health physio during pregnancy? 🤰

The answer is — you can see us at any stage of your pregnancy, and you don’t need to wait until something is wrong.

Pelvic health physio can help if you’re experiencing:
• Bladder leakage
• Pelvic heaviness or pressure
• Constipation
• Pain with in*******se
• Pelvic girdle, lower back or hip pain

But what if everything is going well?

I often recommend a pelvic health check-in at around 20–28 weeks. This gives us an opportunity to assess how your pelvic floor is working and identify anything we might want to work on before birth.

Pelvic floor muscle training during pregnancy can help reduce the risk of urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after birth, and your exercises can be tailored specifically to you.

Then, as you move closer to your due date, the focus can shift towards birth preparation — learning how to relax and lengthen your pelvic floor, perineal massage, labour positions and movement, and discussing pain relief strategies.

You don’t need to have pelvic floor symptoms to benefit from seeing a pelvic health physio during pregnancy. 💛

If you're suffering from pelvic health issues just know you're not alone. Many women go through similar experiences throughout their life and the symptoms are more common than you think. From postpartum recovery to navigating menopause, bladder incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or pain, there is help and support for every body.

My aim is to equip women with the tools and knowledge to become healthier, pain free and to feel more confident about their bodies. I provide a safe and non-judgemental space for people of all genders, s*xuality and cultural backgrounds and have worked with patients across a range of age groups.

I also provide a range of digital downloads and articles on my website to ensure women have access to information in their own time.

I'm here to support and help women navigate their bodies on the road to recovery.

Menopause can affect us in many ways, it’s more than just hot flushes, poor sleep and mood. It can also cause changes to your v***a, va**na, bladder and urethra.

These changes are known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).

As oestrogen levels reduce, you may notice symptoms including:

• Vaginal dryness, burning or irritation
• Discomfort or pain during s*x
• Urinary urgency or frequency
• Changes in bladder control
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)

GSM is very common, but that doesn’t mean you simply have to put up with it.

There are a range of treatment and management options available depending on your symptoms and individual needs.

If you’ve noticed changes in your va**nal, v***al or bladder health during perimenopause or menopause, speak with your GP, gynaecologist or pelvic health physiotherapist about what may help.

And remember—bladder and va**nal symptoms are an important part of the menopause conversation too.
