Sue Croft is a physiotherapist who treats patients with various forms of pelvic floor dysfunction every day and knows the distress that incontinence, prolapse and pelvic pain causes, mostly women, but increasingly many men as well. Many patients actually present with new symptoms of prolapse, incontinence, overly tight pelvic floor muscles and abdominal separation after joining a gym and or undertaking other extreme forms of exercise such as boot camps or heavy weight lifting in the pursuit of fitness.
Movement, exercise and physical fitness should be a part of our daily lives. Evidence is strong that physical inactivity is now identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality and in older adults worldwide, around 3.2 million deaths per year are being attributed to inactivity.
So if we know it's important to move, what we must understand is that moving and exercising in a way that is safe for your pelvic floor is fundamentally important. So it has been Sue's dream to open a facility which has varied forms of exercise - yoga, pilates, dance (yes dance IS a great form of exercise!), balance classes, even ones for osteoporosis looking to maintain bone density. Scroll through the classes and their descriptions and see what takes your fancy. We will be adding more class offerings as the numbers build so keep checking to see what is changing. All Sue's instructors understand the concept of pelvic floor safe exercise and all classes will incorporate these principles.
