Podcast appearances and mentions of emma brockwell

This is not just about pregnancy! 1 in 3 women are affected by pelvic floor dysfunction. Urinary leakage, urgency and even lower back pain may be signs that your pelvic floor could use some help! Top pelvic health specialist, Emma Brockwell, shares exactly what we should be doing to improve our pelvic floor health - and it's surprisingly simple.  Pelvic floor issues can affect anyone, at any age, regardless of whether they've had children or not. Whether you're a recreational runner, an elite athlete, or somewhere in between, your pelvic floor plays a huge role in your performance, recovery, and overall well-being. It's a topic that should be on everyone's radar. Through Emma's incredible work with professional women's football teams and contributions to the FIFA Female Health Project, she is playing a leading role in providing education about pelvic floor health and de-stigmatising pelvic floor disorders to achieve just that.  Follow Emma on Instagram: @physiomumuk Follow us on instagram & YouTube: @5mileseasy

Somehow it's the season 5 finale! And it's a good one!In this episode Helen speaks to the German footballer Melanie Leupolz who returned to play for Chelsea just months after giving birth to her son and to the pelvic health physiotherapist Emma Brockwell who worked with Melanie to get her back on the pitch.

How to protect, heal and nurture your body through Motherhood Emma Brockwell You are pregnant, and just like that your body starts undertaking huge physiological and psychological change. I think sometimes we, as women, forget that during pregnancy your entire system is adapted as your body focuses on growing a new little human being. Parts become stretched, weakened and shifted as your little one thrives and develops. Then there is the matter of childbirth and regardless of how this may happen for you it is a momentous time and arguably the biggest challenge your body will ever undergo. But you can't just put your feet up and recover as a new mum, you have a baby to care for and are often sleep deprived. And so all too often the incredible journey your body and mind have been on get forgotten and your nurturing and healing are neglected. But on this week's episode I am joined by an amazing guest, specialist women's health physiotherapist, mum and now author Emma Brockwell. Emma is a woman on a mission to empower and inform women about the changes taking place in pregnant and postpartum bodies and to support them on a journey to recovery in the right way. Women have, for far too many years thought that many embarrassing or unpleasant conditions relating to women's health were normal and something we should put up with. But the good news is that they are absolutely not, and Emma believes that all women should be informed and empowered with tools to look after and nurture their amazing bodies throughout pregnancy and motherhood.    Emma Brockwell is a Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. She treats women of all ages with all women's health related conditions. She is passionate about pre and postnatal rehabilitation and exercise. She specialises in enabling women back to exercise, particularly running if they have any pelvic health dysfunction or are postnatal. She has co-authored the first ‘Returning to Running Postnatal Guidelines' and has spoken about this subject at many medical and exercise conferences. Emma has written for many magazines including Women's Running and Women's Health magazine and has a book out in February 2021 called ‘Why did no one tell me? how to heal protect and nurture your body through motherhood.' Emma founded and leads a Walk and Running club, Oxted Ladies Run Club. She is the co-founder of Pelvic Roar a physiotherapy led collaboration aiming to promote and unite all things ‘pelvic health'. She is on the advisory board for The Active Pregnancy Foundation and is an associate member to the Perinatal Physical Activity Research Group. She now works privately in Surrey and London and is the co-presenter of a new podcast called At Your Cervix – the podcast.

Welcome to Episode 17 and my conversation with Dr Julie Granger on the intersection of the roles of the clinician & the health coach. In this episode, we discuss: what is a health coach? why this matters in a biopsychosocially informed approach our own emotional baggage (& ego!) moving from being the expert to seeing the client as the expert in themselves dealing with resistance to change self care for clinicians - moving from burnout to thriving I met Julie in 2014 when I was teaching a course in Ohio on Pelvic Health for Athletes and I've followed her journey ever since - I think you'll enjoy this chat and hopefully it will be thought provoking for your own journey!

Episode Notes: Here are some question we answered during this episode: What are some pelvic health issues that come up for runners? Running during pregnancy was a hard NO years ago but there is a transition going on and we are seeing more pregnant mamma running. What do you think has changed? What are some warning signs/red flags for pregnant moms to look out forin running during pregnancy? Do you get avid runner moms that come to you during pregnancy and want to optimize their system during pregnancy in order to return to running after birth? What do you think are some common mistakes moms make when returning to running after childbirth? Health care providers give moms the “ Green Light “ at their postnatal 6 week checkup. They are often told that they can return to all activities without restrictions. After Orthopedic surgery,like ACL surgery, athletes wouldn't dare not follow the rehab protocol but after birth we get this GO AHEAD and do anything. Do you think this is a big issue? How can we change this? There was recently a set of guidelines developed by Grainne Donnelly and Emma Brockwell what are your thoughts on this? How do you help moms return to running postnatally?What are the things that you feel are essential to establish in their strength? For moms that present with OVERACTIVITY, TENSION PATTERNS of the pelvic floor, How do you handle these runners? Do you first focus on relaxing the Pelvic floor or do lengthen and strengthen at the same time? Do you use Vaginal weights to prepare to return to running?  Where can you find more of Amanda Olson? https://www.intimaterose.com/ IG: @aolsondpt; @intimaterose FB: Intimate Rose TikTok: Intimaterose 2 day course on Running and Pelvic Floor: https://aptapelvichealthlivecourses.softr.app/listing-details?recordId=recG4CHJbu6xzZtQx Visit me at: My Website: https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/pelvicorerehab Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pelvicorerehab/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pelvichealthplus YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCiEl1ZFlA5SzN44MhUwzgA?view_as=subscriber Ebook Books links Pregnancy Ebook:  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pain-free-pregnancy-guide Bladder Leaking Ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/leaking 8 steps to achieving pelvic healing  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/ Pelvic Pain, Bladder leaking, and 8 steps to achieve pelvic healing https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicfloorguides Pelvic Pain  https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/pelvicpain Menopause Guide https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/menopauseguide Postpartum ebook https://www.pelvicorerehab.com/headtotoewellnessformommyandbaby  Disclaimer: Susan Winograd, PT offers health and fitness information intended to assist you in improving your general health and well-being.

Returning to Running Postpartum with Emma Brockwell   Returning to exercise post birth, however you may birth is something that should be done with care and in a way that is respectful and supportive of the immense change your body has gone through and the need for recovery.

Leaking urine when running is way more common than it should be. Every week I meet a runner in the clinic with this problem. The degree to which urinary incontinence with exercise has been normalized is really disheartening. This is a significant medical problem. It is NOT normal and it CAN be treated. If you, or someone you know, is having trouble with leaking when running you are going to be so pleased you listened to this episode. Emma Brockwell is a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and an expert on urinary incontinence with running. She also happens to be an avid runner herself! This problem is massively underreported and under-treated. If you know someone with this problem, please do share this episode with them. You might just change their life.

Fiona Rogers from Pelvic Floor Exercise talks with Dianne about pelvic floor equipment that could enhance the recovery of the pelvic floor for some postnatal mums. She highlights taking the time needed to “let yourself heal” following pregnancy and childbirth and gives advice on getting back to activity during this special time. Using her recent personal experience with recovering from wrist surgery, Fiona shares how she worked on what she could do, rather than focusing on what she couldn't do, in her return to Crossfit training, a perspective that could be helpful to postnatal mums.

Returning to running postpartum is one thing. Then add pelvic floor problems to the mix. Now imagine you're an ultra-runner who likes to do 100-plus mile races. This is Sophie Power.Since a photo of her breastfeeding her baby mid-race went viral, Sophie has been working to empower more women to get active. Then she made a film about her postpartum return to running only to discover - on camera - that she has pelvic organ prolapse.Helen talks to Sophie about pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence and her journey back to fitness after childbirth - despite being told she may never run again - and how important it is that mums are helped to reach their goals, whatever they are. There's so much research that shows that the mums activity level is linked through their children's.  So if we want to have active children, we need to be active ourselves and we need help to be active. And what we need to do is make sure that women demand that care and demand that referralSophie Power is @ultra_sophie on Instagram You can watch 'Sophie Power - The Journey from Pregnancy to Performance' here Find out more about Squeezy App hereFor help with your pelvic floor exercises read thisFor great advice and info follow physio Emma Brockwell on Instagram Sophie campaigns for the charity, Women in Sport, which you can find hereSophie mentioned EVB shorts - find out more hereHelen talks about NHS England's plans to improve pelvic health by 2024, in part by making specialists clinics available to all.

How much do male soft tissue therapists really know about Women's Health? How much should they know? In Part 3 of this month's focus on Women's Health, we look at these questions and more, with the Sports Therapy Association Videocast & Podcast now being streamed LIVE exclusively to YouTube and then uploaded as a podcast.  In order to discuss this topic, host Matt Phillips welcomes back to the show Matt Scarsbrook, one third of fantastic industry educators 'The Massage Collective' (with Anna Maria Mazzieri & Becky DeMott Horton). Matt & Matt are joined by special guest 'Katie', who having been in her own words the "token woman on the leadership teams in most of the businesses I have worked for" has graciously agreed to "step up and be the token woman to represent all the vaginas out there." Topics discussed include: How very little society talks about the Menopause How Women's Health issues are rarely talked about unless it happens to you or one of your friends The Government's Women's Health Strategy: Call For Evidence  Aristoteles and Female Testicles The implications of medical research being historically done by men on men or animals The lack of training across all health care providers Cardiovascular disease and women Could you tell if a woman was having a heart attack? Sex education: foo-foos and twinkles  How soft tissue therapists can help make a difference to reducing the taboo in Women's Health.       About the Guests Matt Scarsbrook is a Soft Tissue Therapist, one third of The Massage Collective and Physio Matters' new Digital Media Producer. He's recently started the Matt Scarsbrook YouTube channel aimed at bringing some trustworthy Musculoskeletal (MSK) information to the platform, using his own shamelessly terrible sense of humour. Katie (The Woman) is someone who by her own admission loves conversations that push the boundaries of social norms and asking deep and intimate questions to people she barely knows. Having been the token woman on the leadership teams in most of the businesses she has worked for, she welcomed the chance on our invitation to step up and be the token woman to 'represent all the vaginas out there'. And we're so glad she did. Thanks Katie!

How to protect, heal and nurture your body through Motherhood with Emma Brockwell You are pregnant, and just like that your body starts undertaking huge physiological and psychological change. I think sometimes we, as women, forget that during pregnancy your entire system is adapted as your body focuses on growing a new little human being. Parts become stretched, weakened and shifted as your little one thrives and develops. Then there is the matter of childbirth and regardless of how this may happen for you it is a momentous time and arguably the biggest challenge your body will ever undergo. But you can't just put your feet up and recover as a new mum, you have a baby to care for and are often sleep deprived. And so all too often the incredible journey your body and mind have been on get forgotten and your nurturing and healing are neglected. But on this week's episode I am joined by an amazing guest, specialist women's health physiotherapist, mum and now author Emma Brockwell. Emma is a woman on a mission to empower and inform women about the changes taking place in pregnant and postpartum bodies and to support them on a journey to recovery in the right way. Women have, for far too many years thought that many embarrassing or unpleasant conditions relating to women's health were normal and something we should put up with. But the good news is that they are absolutely not, and Emma believes that all women should be informed and empowered with tools to look after and nurture their amazing bodies throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Emma Brockwell is a Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. She treats women of all ages with all women's health related conditions. She is passionate about pre and postnatal rehabilitation and exercise. She specialises in enabling women back to exercise, particularly running if they have any pelvic health dysfunction or are postnatal. She has co-authored the first ‘Returning to Running Postnatal Guidelines' and has spoken about this subject at many medical and exercise conferences. Emma has written for many magazines including Women's Running and Women's Health magazine and has a book out in February 2021 called ‘Why did no one tell me? how to heal protect and nurture your body through motherhood.' Emma founded and leads a Walk and Running club, Oxted Ladies Run Club. She is the co-founder of Pelvic Roar a physiotherapy led collaboration aiming to promote and unite all things ‘pelvic health'. She is on the advisory board for The Active Pregnancy Foundation and is an associate member to the Perinatal Physical Activity Research Group. She now works privately in Surrey and London and is the co-presenter of a new podcast called At Your Cervix – the podcast.

The important muscle that you probably need to work more. In this episode Physiotherapist, Emma Brockwell joins Katie to talk about pelvic floor health.
