Too often we get stuck thinking there is ONE Best way to do things. The truth is as the mobile humans that we are, we should be able to do things ALL THE WAYS! In fact in order to be resilient we want to have a TON of variability in different movements, postures, and positions. We need to teach our brain that we are safe in all sorts of positions, not that we have to be in a “perfect” position at all times. Why? Because if we are always striving for this perfect position and not adopting a variety that means we are more likely to be injured or see reduced performance when we are in conditions, movements or postures we aren’t used to. . . When is the last time you sat in a fun, comfortable, but awkward looking position? When is the last time you rolled on the floor, crawled, got up and down off the floor all different ways? When did you last walk or run backwards, sideways, or diagonally? When did you last carry things at different levels to each other? When did you go just move however your body wanted you to? . . Remember, the more variability we have in our movements, in our postures, in our positions, the more resilient we will be! . . #tfa #alltheways #posture #movement #exercise #fitness #alignment #thefemaleathlete #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #pelvicmafia #choosept #getpt1st #womenshealth #sexualhealth #ygksexualhealth #vagina #vulva #reproductivehealth

The word vagina has been somehow made to be a taboo word- something we shouldn’t say out loud. A word that a tampon company (you know, tampons that go in your VAGINA!) was told they weren’t allowed to say on TV. Only one of (sadly) many, many examples I could give you. . . This is not ok- and it is time we take back the word vagina, the world vulva, and all other words related to our anatomy, and to our pelvic and sexual health. It’s OK to talk about these things. In fact, it’s more than ok- it’s amazing!!! And needed! Let’s open up the dialogue and chat with any and everyone all about all aspects of our health! . . For full TEDx Talk google “It’s Time to Talk About Women’s Health, Cassie Dionne” and you will find it! . . #vivalavulva #vulva #vagina #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #pelvicmafia #choosept #getpt1st #womenshealth #sexualhealth #ygksexualhealth #vagina #vulva #reproductivehealth #tedx #tedtalk

I was listening to one of my favourite podcasts today with @peterattiamd who was interviewing @danharris (author of 10% Happier). At one point Dan mentioned that the original name of the book was actually going to be called “Your Inner Voice is an Asshole”. . . This got me thinking a lot about self-talk, which we have all known for some time that it is so important to be kind to ourselves. But it reminded me specifically of a conversation I overhead this past weekend. . . I was walking around NYC when I heard two women talking about prolapse. We were walking the same block so I heard only a bit of their conversation, but what I heard made me so sad and made me want to jump in and chat with them. The one woman who was talking about it kept using the word "floppy" to refer to what was going on, and used a lot of negative language. . . This is why Dan Harris was contemplating calling 10% Happier a different title... because a lot of the time our inner voice can be an asshole. How we talk about and to ourselves is SO important. And unfortunately we far too often speak very negatively when it comes to self talk. . . Specifically speaking of the conversation I overheard about prolapse, imagine if you told your friend or family member who just told you they found out they had a prolapse: "Hey, that means you have a floppy vagina" or "guess that means you have a floppy bladder" or "wow, that means you are super weak". Imagine just how BAD that would make your friend feel. Imagine how insecure that would make her feel. So much so that of course you wouldn't say that to her! Bc number one: THAT ISN'T EVEN TRUE. and Number two: You would never want to be that mean to your friend. But why, why are we that mean to ourselves??? . . Your inner dialogue really and truly becomes what we believe of ourselves and of others. Be kind to yourself, and treat yourself as well as you would treat any other person you care for. I promise you, you will reap more benefits from simply being kind to yourself than you can even imagine. . . #selftalk #mindset #positvity #pelvicpt #ygkpelvichealth #kingstonpelvichealth #pelvicpt #pelvicmafia #pelvicfloor #prolapse #pop #pelvicorganprolapse #

Great post by @themummycoach.co.uk ! ・・・ MUM LIFE IS PHYSICALLY HARD. . This isn’t a post to tell you to get your body strong enough to cope with the demands of life as a mum.
