Did you guys know that we have TWO free e-books all about pelvic health and c-section care that are available to anyone who wants to learn more!? . . It’s true. Our goal at @tayloredtrainingphysio is to spread as much knowledge as we can so we have TONS of free resources on most topics related to health, fitness, and and physiotherapy. . . If you’re interested in the link to one or both of these e-books just shoot me a DM and I will send it your way! (Bc unless I’m wrong, I don’t believe you can link in these comments!). . . #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #kingstonphysio #pelvicmafia #cassiedionnept #choosept #getpt1st #womenshealth #sexualhealth #ygksexualhealth #vagina #vulva #reproductivehealth #pregnancy #pregnant #momtobe #momlife #pelvichealth #ygkmoms #ygkmom #ygkmama

It can be hard to talk about private things, especially when it comes to our health. This is the purpose of vagina talk.... to open up the dialogue so we all know that we are NOT alone in the experiences we have. Thank you so much for the brilliant, talented and amazing human @coach_vanessagiguere for sharing her story with us :) . . At the beginning of my pregnancy my primary focus was my nutrition and exercises program. To be honest I thought based on my history that would be enough. Then I started experiencing leaking and pain. Now this can be common during pregnancy but I could have been more proactive which could have prevented these problems. . . Once I finally made the decision to start pelvic floor physiotherapy I wished I had started sooner. Why did I wait? I was scared, nervous and thought I was already strong enough for what was ahead of me. . . Looking back, I’m surprised it didn’t click for me earlier: just like I’ve been a coach to others to optimize their strength and movement I needed a coach for my pelvic health and my journey through pregnancy, delivery, and my postpartum time period. . . Learning how I could control my pelvic floor just like any other muscle I’ve trained before for years was such a huge help and definitely made my delivery and recovery a lot better and easier. Not that natural child birth is easy by ANY means… but I do remember the nurses asking me if I worked on a farm for a living because I was so strong and had a lot of control over my muscles!! . . Thank-you for sharing @coach_vanessagiguere ... your words are something I hear so often as a physio and I’m excited to work with you more through your post-partum journey! . . #vaginatalk #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #kingstonphysio #pelvicmafia #cassiedionnept #choosept #getpt1st #womenshealth #sexualhealth #ygksexualhealth #vagina #vulva #reproductivehealth #pregnancy #pregnant #momtobe #momlife #ygkmoms #ygkmom #ygkmama

PAINFUL BLADDER SYNDROME... aka Interstitial Cystitis: . . Have you heard of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)? There is a good chance you haven’t, as this is a disorder that is often not talked about, DESPITE its prevalence! . . IC is a complex pain condition that involves a number of factors including urinary symptoms (pain, frequency, urgency) as well as bladder pressure, pelvic pain, painful sex, among many other possible symptoms. . . IC affects many more people than was historically thought (current evidence shows 1 in 20 people in the US, and this is considered to be underreported as it is believed there are still many people who have yet to be diagnosed with this condition due to its complexity!). It affects 8x more women than men and often coexists with other pelvic floor dysfunctions including Irritable Bowel Syndrome, vulvodynia, vestibulodyn as well as conditions such as raynaud’s syndrome, migraine headaches and fibromyalgia. . . In IC there is irritation to the structures of the pelvic floor (bladder, muscles) that can essentially wind up the nervous system which can lead to an increased sensitivity to certain stimulus. . . The good news is that pelvic floor physiotherapy is the most proven treatment for interstitial cystitis and is recommended by the American Urological Association as the first-line medical treatment in their IC Guidelines. Not only that, it is the only treatment method given an evidence grade of ‘A’! . . If you suspect you may be dealing with IC, talk to your pelvic floor physiotherapist! . . #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 #interstitialcystitis #painfulsex #painfulbladder #dyspareunia #

It’s time for some #vaginatalk! Most of us have been brought up thinking that our parts “down there” are to be kept private...so it can be hard (sometimes REALLY hard) for us to open up and chat about our pelvic, sexual, or reproductive health with others. That is why I want to share real stories from people just like us ...starting with myself!! . . When I decided to pursue pelvic floor physio a few years back I was excited. But I was also, truthfully, pretty darn nervous and, well... SCARED! . . Was it because I would be delving in to a brand new area of study and practice? NOPE... . . It was because physios like to practice on each other, which meant that I had to be the client as well as the practitioner during the course. It was because I had to have my pants off and have multiple people assess and practice treatment techniques on my pelvic floor. It was because I would be baring my vulva to a whole entire room of people who would not only be practicing techniques, but also staring... looking, and examining all aspects of my vulva and pelvic floor. . . Day#1 of the course: instructors asked us to rate out of 10 how excited we were to be there. What do you think the responses were? Sure, there were a few 10’s... but most of us chose around 5-6. Why!?We were all SO pumped to be there and learn... but we were all SO NERVOUS to be the patient!! . . This was a HUGE aha moment for me. I mean if I and other health professionals were afraid to be the patient... HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE FROM ANYONE ELSE?? . . The truth is: I’m SO SO SO happy that physios practice on each other. Because it means we have experience both coaching AND being coached. It means we understand the nerves associated with discussing difficult things and going through a full assessment. It also means I was able to get rid of my fear and actually be excited about being able to practice skills with colleagues (and after awhile we didn’t even care we were pantless!)...more in comments. . . #vaginatalk #pelvicpt #pelvicmafia #ygkphysio #ygkpelvihealth #kingstonpelvichealth #pelvichealthkingston #pelvicfloor #pelvicphysio #pelvichealthmatters #cassiedionnept #vagina #vulva #realtalk

Repost @pelvichealing ・・・ So why does it take 10+ years for the average woman to be diagnosed with endometriosis? Yes, 1 in 10 women suffers with endometriosis. Yes, seriously. That’s just as common (if not more than) as diabetes at 9.4% and asthma at 7.7% (according to the CDC). How is it that this is even possible in today’s society of advanced medicine? . . #pelvichealthmatters #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #womenshealth #pelvicphysio #ygkphysio #ygkpelvichealth #ygkhealth #ygkmedicine #ygkpelvicpt #kingstonphysio #kingstonpelvichealth #kingstonphysio #pelvicmafia #cassiedionnept #choosept #getpt1st #womenshealth #sexualhealth #ygksexualhealth #vagina #vulva #reproductivehealth #endo #endometriosis
