Welcome our new physio: Sophie!

Event at The Julia Argyrou Endometriosis Centre at The Epworth

Zali, Dora and Jess ran pelvic pain classes at the Julia Argyrou Endometriosis Centre in March this year to help increase awareness of how pelvic floor physio and pilates can help manage the symptoms of endometriosis.
Our 4:1 pelvic pain classes are extremely unique and allow those experiencing pelvic pain conditions to exercise safely.

As such, we took the Epworth staff through some of these lengthening and strengthening exercises, breath-work and pelvic floor muscle relaxation to showcase how beneficial movement can truely be for these patients.
By working within a holistic care team, those managing symptoms of chronic pelvic conditions can immensely improve their quality of life.

Birth preparation events at BUMP Malvern and From Day One

Embrace is super excited to announce that we are now running regular birth preparation events in our local community and recently took expecting mums through birth preparation and movement classes at BUMP Malvern and From Day One.

These are designed to help educate and empower pregnant women through their birthing experience, including both vaginal and caeserean births. We include lots of birth preparation stretches, deep breathing and pelvic floor relaxation strategies and deliver interactive presentations on the role of the pelvic floor muscles, strategies to reduce the risks during a vaginal birth, pain management options and how to optimise recovery.
