Is a prolapse diagnosis for life?

And can I 'fix' or 'get rid' of my prolapse?

If you’ve had a baby, or if you are pregnant, you will want to listen to this episode.  Even if you don’t have symptoms of a prolapse, this knowledge could potentially help you in the future.

1 in 2 women who've had a baby have some level of prolapse (according to the Australian Continence Foundation) and the term can sometimes sound pretty scary.

So let's chat about what a prolapse is, can we actually fix a prolapse, and what are some ways we can be proactive in helping to prevent or manage a prolapse.

Enjoy!

Welcome back to a set of Pelvic Floor Podcast exercises!

Today's pelvic floor set focusses on pelvic floor relaxation.

Every few weeks, I talk you through a set of pelvic floor exercises.  These episodes are short, these episodes are actionable, and are designed to just help you get it done and tick off your pelvic floor from the to-do list.

Perfect if you’re having a vaginal or a caesarean birth, pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, or years and years down the track.

You could even send this podcast episode to your mum, as pelvic floor exercises are something I believe ALL women need to do.
