Sharyn Fulton - Pelvic Floor Muscle health
'One in three women who have had a baby wet themselves - Every woman who has had a baby should do pelvic floor muscle training.' quote from the Continence foundation of Australia
Sharyn Fulton, physiotherapist, has a special interest in women’s health. She will soon be available to assess and treat women who may have concerns about their pelvic floor strength, bladder control, management of prolapse, and musculoskeletal pain associated with pregnancy or childbirth.
Pelvic floor strength is such an important thing to work on and is a key element of core stability. Some people feel a bit confused as to whether they are switching on their muscles correctly. Sometimes a session with a pelvic floor health physiotherapist such as Sharyn can clarify this confusion, leaving you feeling more confident that you are correctly engaging the pelvic floor muscles.

******* Pilates tip for the month *******
People often ask if they should expect to feel pain whilst exercising in the Pilates studio. My answer is always ‘NO’! My saying is ‘muscular strain perhaps for some exercises, but no Pain’. Joint and nerve pain are never advised during exercise. Our exercise options are vast as you know, so we are happy to modify your exercises to make them effective and pain free. Please check with your clever instructors, if you have queries concerning this topic.
Sometimes your body is ready for a certain level of exercise load or difficulty, but not too much. With time and practise, your body becomes more able to try different variations, which ideally are designed to help you reach your goals. So enjoy challenging your body and mind, relaxing with breath and NO pain please.
