The First 365: What does a Women's Health Physio want all new parents to know? with Sarah Percy, Women’s Health Physiotherapist & Director of Female Physio Co.

For this episode of our Newborn Mini Series, The First 365, we speak to Sarah Percy, Women’s Health Physiotherapist and director of Female Physio Co. We ask what are the TOP 5 things all new parents should know about women’s health physiotherapy when postpartum (and beyond!) Sarah gives us evidence, reassurance and tips to care for ourselves after carrying and birthing babies. We discuss…

• Bladder leakage and urinary incontinence
• Breaking taboo and seeking solutions to women’s health issues
• The myth of the 6 Week Check
• The benefits of early movement when postpartum
• Sex and intimacy after having babies
• What is prolapse and reframing prolapse
• Is a prolapse diagnosis forever?
• Mental challenges after birth trauma
• Learning your own body and limits
• Should ab separation be fully closed?

Disclaimer: the advice given in this episode is general in nature - if you have any concerns, please see a Women's Health physio.
