July is International Diastasis Recti Awareness mo

July is International Diastasis Recti Awareness month 🤰 What is Diastasis Recti? 🤷‍♀️
Over pregnancy, your abdominal muscles and fascia (or connective tissue) stretch to accommodate your growing baby. The 6 pack muscles (or recti) soften and lengthen, and commonly move away from the midline, resulting in a Diastasis (or separation). Research shows that up to 66% (or 2 out of 3) women in 3rd trimester will have diastasis, and one study found 100% of women in their study had some degree of separation at 35 weeks🤰 - so it certainly is common! Our physiotherapists are qualified to assess and manage diastasis recti. You can book in to see one of our physio’s online at https://www.informphysio.com or via reception.

The Women’s Health Survey @jeanhailes annual W

The Women’s Health Survey @jeanhailes annual Women’s Health Survey is one of the country’s most revealing insights into the health concerns and needs of women across Australia. Results of the online survey are used in many ways; including identifying gaps in health information helping health professionals better understand their patients, and encouraging women to make practical, positive changes to their lives. The survey is online and anonymous. Every response counts. The more women who participate, the more we can create a true snapshot of the state of women’s health today, including the physical and mental health effects of COVID-19 and our summer bushfires.
