Pelvic floor health after childbirth

In this episode I speak with Clare Bourne about pelvic health. We discuss the impact of childbirth, pelvic health on sexual function and where to go and what to do if you are experiencing pelvic difficulties. 

 

About Clare:

Clare is a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist specialising in caring for women during and after pregnancy. She has worked in the field for over 8 years with extensive NHS experience and has runs her own private practice. She is also a mother of 2 and has therefore learnt first hand the joy but also physical challenge of pregnancy and motherhood. Through her work, she is aware of how alone women can feel during pregnancy and in the postnatal period and how they can be unsure where to get help for symptoms that are often embarrassing and difficult to talk about. She loves to support and provide rehabilitation, helping women to achieve their goals whatever their birth experience. She provides postnatal body checks for women at 6 weeks as a Mummy MOT practitioner, which is a comprehensive physical assessment with tailored advice to guide return to exercise. Clare is a trained pre-and postnatal Pilates instructor and uses this extensively within her practice and values the huge benefits of Pilates in pregnancy and postnatal. Clare is passionate about breaking down barriers to information around pelvic health and supporting women to seek support.
