Liz Heyes is passionate about the positive effect that Physiotherapy can have on people’s lives and has developed a special interest in Women’s Health including pelvic floor and continence management.
Liz has undertaken further post graduate training in this important and under-serviced clinical area, including the assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor and exercise in the childbearing years.
This has a profound effect on a woman’s quality of life during this important period and in the following years.
Abdominal separation
A study found that 66-100 per cent of pregnant women in their third trimester had a separation of up to 8.6cm. This number may appear really daunting, it just shows how amazingly dynamic the pregnant body is. It represents the amount of change that occurs to grow and nourish another little being.
This number also shows the importance of correct abdominal loading during and after pregnancy.

Prolapse
Up to 50 per cent of women have some degree of prolapse;
Prolapse can be symptomatic OR asymptomatic;
Prolapse is not a life sentence; and
A weak pelvic floor is a strong modifiable risk factor for prolapse.
Just so we are abundantly clear, just because prolapse is so common, it doesn't mean that symptoms of heaviness, leaking, dragging, difficulty passing a bowel motion or inserting a tampon are normal.
Returning to running after birth
Returning to running after birth can feel heavy, strange and even scary.
So why do so many women want to rush back to running after birth?
Well, there’s the feeling of freedom of being outdoors and out of the house.
The mental and physical release.
The endorphin rush.
And of course, we acknowledge that weight loss can often be a big motivator.
But before you lace up your trainers and get the jogging pram out — we want to make sure that your body is run ready.
Why? So that you don’t suffer the consequences of a premature return to running including prolapse (or making your prolapse symptoms worse), incontinence, pelvic pain, and musculoskeletal injury.
We accept bookings from new patients with or without a doctor’s referral and appointments easily made either online at www.nelife.com.au or via phone during business.
Please feel free to contact us today to see how physiotherapy could help improve your life.
