With so much information out there on Women's Health issues, it can sometimes be a case of information overload. Women already have enough on our plate, having to google 'how to do a kegel exercise' because we are constantly told we need to strengthen our pelvic floor, is just another thing to add to our 'to do' list. "I leak when I laugh/cough/sneeze" & "I just can't jump on a trampoline" are becoming more common conversations had by women today. However there are still a few taboo topics that women want to know about, but are just too embarrassed to ask for help or are unsure where to seek advice.

It's becoming more and more common for women to seek treatment from a Women's Health Physiotherapist for Abdominal Separation. Some women find their stomach muscles weaken and separate during and after pregnancy. The stretching and thinning of the abdominal muscles is a natural occurrence during pregnancy (30-70%) to accommodate the growing baby and up to 66% of women have a significant separation by the end of their third trimester. The good news is that for the majority of women this condition resolves during the early postpartum period. Unfortunately for some however, a weakened abdominal wall persists well into the postpartum period, impairing activities of daily living. Learn how to recognise, prevent and treat abdominal separation.
