🏃🏽‍♀️EXCITING COLLABORATION ANNOUNCEMENT🏃🏽‍♀️

I’m so pleased to be teaming up with Sweaty Mama Elgin and surrounding areas to bring you something really special this May.

On Monday 11th May (in the evening), we’re hosting an informative and supportive session focused on diastasis recti, designed especially for mums who want to better understand their bodies and feel confident returning to exercise.

This session will include:
• A clear, evidence-based talk on what diastasis recti is
• Guidance on how to recognise it and manage it safely
• Practical advice you can start using straight away
• A strength session with Sharon (Sweaty mama instructor) to help you build confidence and reconnect with your body

Whether you’re newly postpartum or further along in your recovery, this is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and move in a supportive environment.

Spaces will be limited more details and booking info coming soon.

Last minute availability this Friday in Forres ✨

✨ What I treat that might surprise you… ✨

When people think of physiotherapy, they often think of sports injuries or bad backs. But the truth is, I help with so much more than that…

Here are a few things you might not realise physio can help with:

▫️ Preparing your body before surgery to aid recovery
▫️ Rehabilitation after operations (including abdominal, pelvic, joint or spinal surgery)
▫️ C-section or surgical scars that feel tight, numb or sensitive
▫️ Persistent rib, tailbone or hip pain
▫️ That “weak” feeling in your core after pregnancy
▫️ Leaking when you cough, sneeze, run or jump
▫️ Painful s*x or pelvic discomfort
▫️ Getting strength, mobility and confidence back after procedures

If something has been bothering you, or you’ve got surgery coming up and want to feel more prepared, you’re not alone…and there may be more support available than you think 💛

If this sounds familiar, feel free to message me and we can chat about whether physio might help.

✨ C section recovery: it’s more than just scar healing ✨

A C section is major abdominal surgery, yet many mums are expected to “just get on with it” once the wound looks healed. In reality, there’s so much more going on beneath the surface

After a C section you may experience:
• Core and pelvic floor weakness
• Scar tightness or numbness
• Back, hip or pelvic pain
• Changes in posture and breathing
• Difficulty returning to exercise
• Pain or pulling around the scar

The good news? With the right assessment and rehab, your body can recover strongly and confidently 💪

A C section specific postnatal assessment can help with:
✔️ Scar mobility and sensitivity
✔️ Reconnecting with your deep core muscles
✔️ Pelvic floor function
✔️ Safe, gradual return to exercise
✔️ Reducing pain and compensatory movement patterns

Your recovery deserves time, care, and support…no matter how long ago your baby was born. It’s never “too late” to work on C section recovery ✨

Book your postnatal or C section Mummy MOT to give yourself the attention you deserve

❄️ Waddle like a penguin this winter! 🐧

Slipping on icy paths is no fun…but did you know that penguin walking can help you stay upright?

When walking on ice:
🐧 Keep your weight slightly forward
🐧 Take small, slow steps
🐧 Keep your feet wider apart
🐧 Keep your centre of gravity over your front foot
🐧 Arms out slightly for balance (yes… really!)

It might feel silly, but it reduces your risk of slips and falls, penguins are experts at winter survival after all! ❄️

If you’ve had a fall, are feeling unsteady, or want support with pain, mobility or rehab this winter, Restore Physiotherapy has appointments available this month.

Stay safe, stay steady… and channel your inner penguin 🐧💙
