Your Pelvic Floor Matters - The Symptoms Women Ignore

<p>Pelvic health is something many women only hear about when something goes wrong. Leaking when you laugh, run, or workout. Or a feeling of heaviness or painful sex. These experiences are incredibly common, yet they are rarely spoken about openly.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of IMAGE The Check-in, host Ellie Balfe sits down with <strong>Aoife Harvey</strong>, specialist physiotherapist at the Women&#39;s Health Clinic Dublin, for a refreshingly honest and no-holds-barred conversation about women’s pelvic health.</p><p><br></p><p>Together, they unpack the pelvic floor and why it plays such an important role in our wellbeing. They also discuss something many women are hesitant to raise: painful sex. Aoife explains the different reasons this can happen, how pelvic health physiotherapy can help, and why women should never feel they simply have to live with discomfort.</p><p><br></p><p>The conversation also touches on the life stages that impact pelvic health, from pregnancy and post-partum recovery through to the changes that happen during menopause.</p><p><br></p><p>This was a light-hearted, open and deeply informative conversation that shines a light on an area of women’s health that deserves far more attention.</p><p><br></p><p>IMAGE The Check-in is part of the IMAGE Women’s Health Clinic and proudly empowered by Boots and sponsored by Samsung and Waterstone Clinic.</p>
