    What happens when you're a women’s health physio and you’re diagnosed with a prolapse?

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by the lovely Rosie Purdue of Hatched House—physio, mum of two, and hockey player—who shares her deeply personal journey of recovery, trial and error, and reclaiming her body after prolapse and pelvic pain.

    Together we unpack what it’s really like to return to sport while managing prolapse symptoms—and how emotional recovery plays just as big a role as the physical.

    In this episode we cover:

    Rosie’s personal experience with prolapse after a vaginal birthManaging pain from a coccyx fracture and its impact on pelvic floor recoveryThe emotional toll of prolapse—even as a physiotherapistCommon prolapse symptoms: incomplete bowel emptying, stress incontinence, vaginal bulgeHow Rosie uses tools like splinting, Contiform, and pessariesThe bother scale and what “worsening” symptoms really meansNavigating sex, sport, and confidence after diagnosisHow to know if surgery might be right for you—and when to seek a second opinionThe difference between structural vs muscular recoveryEncouragement for new mums navigating early prolapse symptoms

    As a physiotherapist specialising in pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and pelvic floor health, I’m a huge advocate for pelvic floor exercises— I love them, I live them, and I quite literally breathe them (haha!).

    But, with so much information online, it’s important to ask: Are pelvic floor exercises right for everyone?

    In this episode, I dive into:

    The benefits of pelvic floor exercises in reducing the risk of incontinence and pelvic health issuesWhy traditional pelvic floor strengthening might NOT be appropriate for some womenHow factors like overactive pelvic floor, anxiety, athletic training, and birth trauma need to be consideredMy gold standard approach to pelvic floor recovery—before, during, and after pregnancy

    What does an ideal pelvic floor care plan look like?
    ✅ 33/34 weeks pregnant – Pelvic floor assessment + birth prep
    ✅ 2 weeks postpartum – Telehealth check-in
    ✅ 6 weeks postpartum – Full pelvic floor assessment
    ✅ Beyond 6 weeks – Individualized return-to-exercise plan based on birth recovery

    After working with hundreds (if not thousands) of women, I know first-hand that one size does NOT fit all when it comes to pelvic floor health.

    Tune in to learn how to best support your body during pregnancy and postpartum—without falling into the “one-size-fits-all” trap!

    What makes some women feel strong, happy, and confident in their postpartum recovery, while others struggle to find their rhythm?

    In this episode, we’re diving into the three key traits that set strong mamas apart when it comes to postnatal recovery. These are not about being perfect but about building habits and mindsets that support your body and well-being.

    Whether you're a new mama or further along in your journey, these insights will help you create a smoother, more sustainable recovery—without relying on fleeting motivation.

    What You’ll Learn:
    đŸ’Ș Why motivation isn’t enough—and what to focus on instead
    đŸ’Ș How to stay consistent while being realistic about life’s unpredictability
    đŸ’Ș The power of support and how to build it into your recovery journey

    Key Takeaways:

    1ïžâƒŁ They don’t rely on motivation alone.

    Instead, they build accountability into their lifestyle—whether that’s scheduling workouts, leaning on a partner or friend, or setting reminders.

    2ïžâƒŁ They are adaptable but consistent.

    Strong postpartum recovery isn’t about an “all or nothing” approach. If life gets in the way, they adjust and keep going instead of giving up.

    3ïžâƒŁ They get the support they need and build up gradually.

    Seeking guidance from a healthcare professional and progressing at a sustainable pace leads to better long-term results.

    2. Importance of deep breathing/ belly breathing and pelvic floor relaxation (particularly important in the last trimester of pregnancy).

    3. Pelvic floor strength, and how to support postpartum strength return after giving birth.

    4. How exercising during pregnancy helps with postpartum recovery.

    Today's episode is part 2 of 3, where I discuss ways to prepare the pelvic floor for birth.

    In part 1 (episode 228) I discuss the impact of pelvic floor awareness during pregnancy.
    In today's episode, I discuss evidence-based ways to help reduce pelvic floor trauma as a result of vaginal birth.

    Over 81 % of women in Australia will have a perineal tear or episiotomy during their first vaginal delivery.

    The majority of these are relatively minor first degree tears or second degree tears.

    Only around 3% of women in Australia will experience a 3rd or 4th degree tear (a tear that extends into the anal spincter).

    Luckily, there are evidence-based ways that you can reduce the severity or risk of perineal trauma.

    Listen to this episode where I talk through perineal massage, perineal preparation for childbirth and other ways to help support the pelvic floor area during and after birth.
