Firstly let&#8217;s talk about putting your Pelvic Floor First.\u00a0 Most Women&#8217;s Health Physiotherapists will be quite specific about how you should &#8216;re-train your PFM (Pelvic Floor Muscles) if you are visiting them after the birth of your baby.\u00a0 This is my passion. \u00a0So please come and see me at<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsfocusphysio.com.au\/our-physios\/vanea-atwood\/?portfolioCats=9\"> Sports Focus Physiotherapy\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>if you have <em>any<\/em> concerns.\u00a0\u00a0I love to take off my Women&#8217;s Health hat and use my consulting time with you as a &#8216;personal trainer&#8217; or pilates teacher. I think it is really important that\u00a0<em>you<\/em> know how ,why ,what ,where and when about exercise and your PFM.\u00a0 All the websites that I link you\u00a0to will help you with this.. I\u00a0am \u00a0passionate about<em> &#8216;safe pelvic floor exercises&#8217; <\/em>and was fortunate to have some small back end input into the Australian collaboration between the Fitness Industry and the Continence Foundation of Australia in 2010-11.\u00a0 This resulted in a fantastic website all about &#8216;<em>pelvic floor safe&#8217; <\/em>exercises for women of all ages.\u00a0 This website\u00a0is targeting all\u00a0health professionals who train and teach women exercise. So my first recommendation is a visit to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pelvicfloorfirst.com.au\/\">Pelvic Floor First \u00a0<\/a>website. \u00a0Check out these pages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pelvicfloorfirst.org.au\/pages\/ever-had-a-baby.html\">Ever had a Baby<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pelvicfloorfirst.org.au\/data\/files\/Pelvic_Floor_First\/10_step_guide_to_pelvic_floor_safe_exercise.pdf\">10 &#8211; guide to putting your pelvic floor first<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you have had your baby you need to get back into caring for yourself\u00a0 as well as learning to look after your baby.
