Let's talk pelvic floor! Understand bladder leaks, prolapse, strength and relaxation in this supportive, practical menopause workshop. LET'S TALK PELVIC FLOORAn Olive Chats Menopause Workshop by Olive Collective Saturday 7 November | 11am–12.30pm ZEN @ REVIVE STUDIO, Aspley Guise £15 per person | Limited spaces Bladder leaks when you laugh, cough or exercise? Feeling changes in your pelvic floor during menopause? Or simply want to understand how to look after this important part of your body? You're not alone, and it's time we talked about it! Join us for a friendly, supportive and interactive 90-minute workshop exploring pelvic floor health, why it matters and how changes during perimenopause and postmenopause can affect bladder control, muscle strength and everyday confidence. Our pelvic floor plays an important role in supporting our bladder, bowel and pelvic organs, yet it's something many of us know very little about until we start experiencing symptoms. What will we cover? • Understanding your pelvic floor – what it is, where it is and why it's so important. • Menopause and pelvic floor changes – how hormonal changes, ageing and everyday habits can affect pelvic health. • Bladder leaks and urinary incontinence – why they happen and what can help. • Understanding prolapse – a simple overview of what pelvic organ prolapse is, common symptoms and where to seek support. • Strengthening AND relaxing – why learning to contract and fully release your pelvic floor muscles is equally important. • Practical Pilates-based techniques – gentle movement, breathing and pelvic floor awareness exercises you can incorporate into everyday life. What to expect This isn't just a talk! We'll combine easy-to-understand information with gentle, practical exercises and techniques to help you feel more confident about looking after your pelvic floor. There will be opportunities to ask questions, share experiences if you wish and learn in a relaxed, supportive environment. No previous Pilates experience needed. All exercises will be gentle and adaptable. Who is this workshop for? Women experiencing perimenopause, menopause or postmenopause, including those navigating medically induced menopause, as well as anyone wanting to understand and support their pelvic floor health. You don't need to be experiencing symptoms to benefit! A little about your host Led by a qualified Pilates instructor and Menopause Coach with over 30 years of experience in movement, fitness and supporting women's wellbeing. This workshop offers general education and Pilates-based movement rather than individual pelvic health assessment or treatment. If you are experiencing symptoms of prolapse, persistent bladder leakage or pelvic pain, we encourage you to seek advice from your GP or a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist. Come along, learn something new and take away practical tools to support your pelvic floor health. Places are limited, so book your space today! Olive Collective CIC – Educate. Share. Empower.
