Your Pelvic Floor Matters - The Symptoms Women Ignore

Your Pelvic Floor Matters - The Symptoms Women Ignore

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.


In this episode of IMAGE The Check-in, host Ellie Balfe sits down with Aoife Harvey, specialist physiotherapist at the Women's Health Clinic Dublin, for a refreshingly honest and no-holds-barred conversation about women’s pelvic health.


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.


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.


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.


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.
