Pelvic Health, Unfiltered: Sport, Strength & Solutions

Pelvic Health, Unfiltered is coming to The Two Brewers in Olney on Wednesday 18 November, a talk that takes pelvic health out of the clinic and into the pub. It's led by pelvic health specialist Charlotte Quarrie of TOP Physiotherapy, and it's aimed at active women and athletes who've spent years managing things like leaking during a run, heaviness after lifting, or postnatal pelvic pain on their own, assuming it's just part of being active.

Quarrie describes the session as a frank, judgement-free look at the things that often get swept under the rug. The talk covers stress and urge incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic girdle pain and diastasis recti, as well as how to return to high-impact sport safely. It's not just a list of conditions, though; there's practical advice in there too, with breathing and bracing techniques you can actually use. The whole thing is an informal talk followed by an open Q&A, so you can ask the questions you've been sitting on.

TOP Physiotherapy is bringing the conversation into a pub setting to open it up with other women who get it, rather than keeping it behind clinic doors. If you've ever wondered if what you're experiencing is normal, or if there's a better way to handle it while staying active, this is a good place to find out. It's an hour-long session, so you'll be in and out in one evening.

It runs from 20:00 on Wednesday 18 November at The Two Brewers, 34 High Street, Olney, MK46 4BB, and entry is free.
