These pelvic health videos have been developed by a team of NHS professionals and maternity service users across London. The videos include NHS professional-endorsed guidance and recommendations to support women and birthing persons on a range of topics, like maintaining pelvic floor health through pregnancy and beyond, bladder and bowel incontinence, pregnancy-related muscular pain, recovering from a caesarean section.
We are proud this work supports the NHS Long Term Plan on pelvic health rehabilitation in pregnancy and beyond across London.
Physiotherapists from Imperial College Healthcare Trust, the London Maternity Clinical Network, NHS England's Regional Maternity Team and Maternity Voices Partnership have worked together with NELCSU Creative Team and the My Health London web developers to create a series of videos about the changes of the body before, during and after birth.
From pelvic floor health and bladder care, to posture and returning to exercise, these videos will provide information and useful advice to women and birthing people to support their journey through pregnancy and beyond.
Join us for an online event to launch the videos on Tuesday 24th May 2022 (1pm-2pm). This event will include presentations from those with lived-experience and the physiotherapists who have worked on the project as well as previews of the videos.
Please register via this Eventbrite site. A Teams Calendar Link will be sent to you before the event. Registration will close at 09:30 on 24th May 2022.
