Pelvic floor health is a topic that often remains in the shadows, but it plays a pivotal role in our overall wellbeing. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that form a supportive structure at the base of the pelvis. It acts like a hammock, holding up and supporting vital pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus (in females) and rectum. These muscles play a crucial role in urinary and bowel functioning, sexual function, as well as supporting the pelvis.

In Australia our latest research shows that 96% of mothers start out breastfeeding, but after the first few weeks a rapid fall in breastfeeding rates occur. This may occur for many reasons such as no longer wishing to breastfeed, inconvenience/ fatigue associated with it, concerns about milk supply, but a common occurrence found in the deferral of breastfeeding was developing conditions such as mastitis.
