The aim of this article is to increase awareness surrounding incontinence related issues and give you some strategies to help.
Telehealth (or as I call it videoPHYSIO) works

YOUR pregnancy journey
With the postponement of the antenatal classes at Limerick’s maternity hospital and many health staff including physiotherapists redeployed as a result of the covid-19 pandemic, expectant mothers might be left with unanswered questions or fear of not knowing the right thing to do.
This mini blog series aims to help you during the weeks and months between now and when your baby arrives.
Your Pregnancy Journey – antenatal perineal massage
The perineum is the area between your vagina and anus and is especially important for all women. During labour this area has to stretch greatly and often can tear.
YOUR pregnancy journey – breath and pain relief
Lots of cool physiological processes happen when you breathe. When you slow your breath down and breathe through the nose, in particular, relaxation is promoted.
YOUR pregnancy journey – pelvic floor function
Another benefit of the breath work as discussed in the previous post is the effect it has on your pelvic floor.
YOUR pregnancy journey – toilet habits
After all the work on strengthening and relaxing your pelvic floor the last thing you’ll want is to have something like constipation (which is common in pregnancy) ruin your good work.
