Coaches
The aim of our Pelvic Floor Workshops is to truly inform you about your pelvic floor, its function and ultimately show you how to engage it properly and effectively through day to day activities and during exercise.
After a short introduction, the workshop will be split into two 40 minute sections with a 15 minute refreshments break halfway through and will finish with a 15 minute Q&A session.
Section 1: Specialist Womens Health Physiotherapist Harriet Peatman will explain the function of the pelvic floor and core and its vital role within the body and how it may be effected post birth. Looking at bladder and bowel health and the effects these have on your pelvic floor. There will be practical elements to this talk to get you engaging with your inner core.
​
Section 2: Specialist Women's Fitness Coach Kirsty Doonan will take you through a series of exercises in which you will learn to use your pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles whilst performing functional movement patterns and you will be taken through a classic gym style workout so you can feel confident again about returning to exercise. There will be an option during this session to have a tummy check for Diastasis Recti, more commonly known as 'tummy separation'.
​
Section 3: Q&A with the experts!
​
Harriet & Kirsty will also be available after the workshop for you to ask any private questions regarding your pelvic floor health.
This workshop is open to any post natal woman that wants to know more!
Participants should be a minimum of 8 weeks post vaginal birth or 12 weeks post c section birth.
