📄Recommendations for: Interstitial Cystitis/ Bladder Pain Syndrome . . An awesome guideline for diagnosing and treating IC/BPS from Germany was just translated to English! This great summary goes over the best treatment protocols and individual approach for best outcomes. . . As you can see, physiotherapy made it to the FIRST line management, with rehabilitation also being listed on numerous levels. Not only this, but the efficacy of physio was considered Level 1a Evidence (for those of you who aren’t research buffs- that is a high level of evidence!!!) . . If you have any questions about IC/ BPS - let me know! . . #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #kingstonphysio #pelvicmafia #cassiedionnept #choosept #getpt1st #womenshealth #sexualhealth #ygksexualhealth #vagina #vulva #reproductivehealth #ic #bps #interstitialcystitis #bladderpain #physiocanhelp #choosephysio

Repost @theladypartsphysio ・・・ DON'T WATCH A SCARY MOVIE BEFORE SEX! . ✨Here's why - a study looked at whether the pelvic floor reacts to watching "threatening," "sexually threatening," "neutral" & "erotic" film scenes. This was examined using electromyographic (EMG) sensors in the pelvic floor muscles. . ✨Women responded with increased pelvic floor muscle activity to the threatening and sexually-threatening film excerpt, while the neutral & erotic scenes did little to the pelvic floor activity. . ✨What does this mean? When watching something scary, the body perceived a threat, and A DEFENCE reaction happened - the pelvic floor tightened! This can be problematic for women who already have overactivity of the pelvic floor! . ✨My advice? Stick to the romcoms 💁🏽‍♀️ and see a pelvic floor physio! We have our ways to make intimacy comfortable and enjoyable! ✨Here’s the research: van der Velde J1, Everaerd W. (2001). The relationship between involuntary pelvic floor muscle activity, muscle awareness and experienced threat in women with and without vaginismus. Behavioural Research Therapy. Apr;39(4):395-408. #vaginismus #dyspareunia #yoga #painfulsex #painfulintercourse #maternity #justhadababy #core #diastasis #postnatalexercises #postnatalrecovery #pilatesathome #pilates #matpilates #coreexercises #abexercises #stressincontinence #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorexercises #womenshealth #pelvicfloor #pelvichealth #ilovemyjob #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #pelvichealth #pelvichealthmatters #ygkpelvichealth #kingstonpelvichealth

➡️ TRUE OR FALSE: If you leak when you jump rope you need to be doing Kegels. . . . ❎ False!! . . Leaking during high impact activity, like jump rope, COULD mean that your pelvic floor isn’t strong enough to keep you continent, which may mean we would have you work on Kegels, BUT it could also mean that your pelvic floor may lack coordination and have difficulty relaxing... in which case Kegels are very likely not the answer! . . . You may be wondering: if my pelvic floor isn’t relaxing, wouldn’t it be contracted meaning I shouldn’t leak? Good question! If your pelvic floor isn’t able to relax it can mean that it also cannot kick in to support us during those higher impact activities when we need, hence why you may experience leaking! . . . So how do you know if you should be doing Kegels? Easy- see a pelvic health physiotherapist like me who can work with you and guide you on exactly what you should be working on! . . . #incontinence #sui #stressincontinence #postpartum #pregnancy #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #kingstonphysio #pelvicmafia

May today, and everyday, be filled with health, happiness, friends and family. . . #mothersday #moms #momlife #ygkmom #ygkmoms #momstobe #momsofinstagram #pregnancy #momtobe #pelvichealthmatters

This quote is from an awesome issue of @scientific_american that is looking at the Future of Medicine with a focus on women’s health. . . We know that because women are having less babies today compared to historically this also means women are having more periods than before. Not only this, but birth control is being used to skip many of these periods for many women (for this intent, or others and across a number of different types of birth co ntrol). Is this a good idea? Is this harmful? The truth is, we simply do not know.. . . #periods #menstruation #menstrualcycle #periodtalk #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #kingstonphysio #pelvicmafia #cassiedionnept #choosept #getpt1st #womenshealth #sexualhealth #ygksexualhealth #vagina #vulva #reproductivehealth
