Pelvic health is often linked exclusively with childbirth or old age. It is widely - and incorrectly - assumed to be an ‘unfixable’ problem. Why? Because the subject has been limited by the ‘embarrassment’ factor, misinformation, and the belief that it is a ‘woman’ problem. But a strong pelvic floor is key to a life of long-term autonomy and freedom for ALL genders! Groin/hip/lower back/pelvic and abdominal pain all fall under the umbrella of pelvic health, so anyone can suffer the physical, emotional and social implications of pelvic weakness or injury.So, if you are someone who avoids ‘bouncy’ exercise, dreads social obligations where you don’t know the ‘toilet situation’, are overwhelmed by the mysteries of menopause, or resigned to a lifetime of being woken at night by a bossy bladder… this episode is a game changer.In a frank and comprehensive conversation, Helen Keeble - a flagbearer of pelvic health physiotherapy - is here to tell you that these pelvic issues are preventable and curable - and it’s much simpler than you think!Join Sarah & Helen as they explain that it’s never too late to regain the dignity & freedom that comes with a strong pelvic floor. Together they bust the damaging myths around this subject as they cover: the functions of our pelvic health; what a pelvic physio does; how constipation can seriously damage our pelvic strength; the misinformation around exercise and pregnancy, the importance of recovery after childbirth; the taboo around what is considered ‘toilet issues’; the lack of accurate information around women’s bodies; how to strengthen your pelvic floor to prevent or heal injury; the importance of correct toileting; the misconceptions and lack of support around menopause education.ABOUT:Helen Keeble is a physiotherapist specialising in pelvic health and the founder of www.umi-health.com - a specialist website that provides women with guidance, practical advice, tailored exercises and offers a community of support for anyone who struggles to navigate their pelvic health.
