That's the way we're meant to go - but it doesn't

That's the way we're meant to go - but it doesn't always 🤔⁠
⁠
What happens when we have Urinary Urge Incontinence (UUI)?⁠
The uncontrollable urge experienced which often results in leakage can be due to a few factors:⁠
1. "Detrusor overactivity". This is an involuntary contraction of the bladder muscle while it is filling. ⁠
2. Habitual effects. You may be training your bladder to empty too early and not allowing it to get a sufficient level of stretch so when it is a little fuller than usual, you are unable to hold it. ⁠
⁠
Keep your eyes peeled for our post on some tips you can try to help manage UUI!⁠

Does skipping make you nervous?

Bladder leaks during workouts are common, especially during high-impact exercise like aerobics, running and some exercises in bootcamp and crossfit. Double unders, heavy cleans and box jumps are notorious for causing wet undies.

These activities cause a huge amount of pressure on your pelvic floor, which is the most common time women leak.

Even though peeing your pants during exercise (or any other time) might be common, it’s definitely not normal, and you can fix it.

We have three tips to help you with this!
1️⃣ Book in with a Women's Health Physio to get checked.
This could be happening for a number of reasons. Weakness, overactivity, prolapse... the list goes on!

2️⃣ Train you core and breathing muscles!
When exercising, many women don’t consider their core or pelvic floor muscles – that includes their breathing muscle, the diaphragm. If you’ve given birth, chances are those muscles need to be retrained. In some women the pelvic floor muscles are really weak and can’t provide enough support when exercising. In other women, these muscles are overworking, because women have been clenching on to them for too long.
It’s more than making these muscles stronger, it’s about making sure the muscles are coordinating correctly especially when lifting, jumping or running

3️⃣ Break the exercise into smaller steps and master that without leaking first!
So break the exercise down into smaller steps and integrate your core muscles into that exercise. Once you master that without leaking, increase the difficulty or speed of the exercises. A common one is skipping
- Work on lifting your pelvic floor as you land from a small jump
- Increase the height of the jump while lifting the pelvic floor on the land
- Single unders
- double unders

Another crazy fact! ⁠
⁠
Of those sitting in a GP waiting room, 65% of women and 30% of men report some type of urinary incontinence, yet only 31% of these people report having sought help from a health professional.⁠
⁠
We do this all day. ⁠
⁠
There is no question too weird or too wonderful! We almost guarantee that we would have heard it before! ⁠

Lets's talk caesareans! 🤰🏻⁠ ⁠ A caesarea

Lets's talk caesareans! 🤰🏻⁠
⁠
A caesarean section is the delivery of a baby through a surgical incision in the abdomen and uterus. ⁠
⁠
Approximately 30% of births in Australia are via caesarean. ⁠
⁠
Caesareans can be classified as either "elective" or "emergency". ⁠
⁠
During the surgery an incision is made in the bottom of the abdomen above the pubic bone, a number of layers are then cut through to expose the uterus. The baby is then removed, mum is stitched up and the recovery and bonding begins! Recovery times are different for everyone. This ranges from 4-12 weeks depending on so many factors.⁠
⁠
Physiotherapy is an essential part of the recovery after a caesarean. Learning how to massage the scar to regain sensation and to strengthen the muscles after surgery are very important. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes, the healing isn't just physical. For some people like myself, this procedure is exactly what i didn't want. More of my healing was emotional and that's also ok. ⁠
⁠
"If I had my time again I would be kinder to myself. Every persons experience is different and that's OKAY. It didn't matter that I had a c-section birth. C-section is NOT a failure. It is a blessing."⁠ - Anouska⁠
⁠
We would love to help you to recover from your caesarean.⁠
