Pregnant & Postnatal Physiotherapy

02/11/2026

Packing your hospital bag for a C-section? Here’s what we actually recommend 👇

A rolled-up towel to hug when you laugh or sneeze (you’ll thank us). High-waisted un**es that don’t sit on your scar. Fibre and fluids, because that first poo is a whole thing. A good feeding pillow, compression shorts or un**es, and something nice just for you.

Plus our Postnatal Recovery Guide for gentle movement in weeks 0–6.

📌 Save this for later

A little more support for those long feeding days 🤎

Whether you’re breastfeeding or bottle feeding, finding a comfortable position can make all the difference.

A big thank you to Sable Bebe for gifting us this practical yet aesthetic pillow.

Today we remember the babies who are loved, hoped for, and deeply missed.

We acknowledge the many different ways pregnancy and infant loss can shape a family, and the grief that can remain long into the future.

To every parent carrying a story of loss, your baby matters. Your grief matters. Your love is real, enduring, and will always have a place.

Today, and everyday, we remember 🪽🤍

"Leaking after kids is normal"

It’s something we hear so often in women’s health. Whilst it can be reassuring to know you’re not alone, it can also lead us to accept symptoms that deserve attention.

Leaking when you run. Crossing your legs when you sneeze. Avoiding jumping. Feeling like your body is no longer quite your own.

These experiences are common, particularly after pregnancy and birth but common doesn’t mean inevitable, and it certainly doesn’t mean you have to accept them as your new normal.

Your pelvic floor deserves attention before symptoms arise, during pregnancy, and throughout your postpartum recovery.

Motherhood may change your body, but it shouldn’t define what you’re able to do with the rest of your life.

Your pelvic floor isn’t just about squeezing.

It needs to be strong enough to support you, responsive enough to work with movement, and relaxed enough to let go.

More squeezing isn’t always the answer.

Your pelvic floor needs to respond to what you’re asking your body to do:

🏃‍♀️Running.

🏋️‍♀️ Lifting.

🏀Jumping.

😮‍💨Breathing.

🚽Going to the toilet.

❤️ Having s*x.

👶 Giving birth.

Sometimes, the most important thing we can teach a pelvic floor is how to let go.

Pelvic health is about function, not just strength.

It makes scence.

21/09/2026

A birth can change your body but it should not define the woman you become afterwards.

You are still the woman who wants to run.

To lift.

To exercise.

To chase your kids.

To have s*x without pain.

To feel strong in your body.

To keep doing the things that fill your cup.

At Scence, we believe pelvic health is about more than recovering from birth. It is about protecting your ability to participate in the life you want to live, long after your babies are born.

Because leaking, heaviness, pain or avoiding the things you love shouldn’t simply become your new normal.

Birth is part of your story. It doesn’t have to become your limitation.

That is why Scence exists.

A birth should not and does not define who you are as a woman.

It makes scence.

WOMEN'S HEALTH WEEK. DAY 2 = MOVE 🏋️‍♀💪🏃‍♀️

We spend way too much time thinking about how our bodies look when we move.

What if we focused a little more on what our bodies can do?

Lift the weights.
Run the race.
Carry your baby.
Chase your kids.
Walk the dog.
Get back to the sport you love.

Movement doesn't have to look perfect. It doesn't have to be a perfect workout, a certain number of steps or look Instagram worthy.

The goal isn't to move less as you get older. It's to keep moving for as long as possible.

You’ve done everything you were told to do.

Cut the coffee. Squeezed when coughing and sneezing. Done your pelvic floor exercises.

Yet you’re still leaking when you laugh, sneeze or run.

Pelvic floor exercises aren’t one size fits all.

Some pelvic floors are weak and need strengthening.

Some are actually overactive and need to learn how to relax.

Some have plenty of strength but aren’t coordinating well with your breath, core or movement.

Squeezing harder when the problem isn’t weakness won’t necessarily fix it. In some cases, it can actually make things worse.

This is why a proper assessment matters! Rather than doing endless pelvic floor exercises and hoping for the best, find out what’s actually contributing to your leakage and what your pelvic floor needs.

World Breastfeeding Week 🤍

The body doing the feeding needs support too.

A few things worth watching for:
🤍Neck or shoulder pain that lingers after feeds. Often a posture/setup issue, not just something your have to put up with.
🤍 Thumb or wrist pain that flares with lifting and holding.
🤍 Pelvic heaviness, leaking, or pressure that shows up with fatigue or long stretches sitting. Horizontal rest is a key part of your recovery
🤍 Any pain lasting more than a couple of weeks — that's a sign to get it looked at, not push through

Feeding pain isn't just something to push through. Back, neck, wrist or pelvic pain deserves proper care, not a shrug.

Leaking, prolapse, pain during s*x, a pelvic floor that actually needs rehab. None of it is something to manage quietly in the background. It’s something to treat.
