It feels like we at times fear or fight change in principle, that we'd prefer things stayed the same. And yet change is all around and within us constantly without our control! Take the female body. From the moment of birth, it's an ongoing growth that shifts into monthly cycles, pausing only for the 9 month wonder of pregnancy if and when that occurs, before it gears down into peri- and finally menopause. It's quite the journey to navigate, but how supportive of ourselves are we on the ride?
I ask Becky Potts, Women's Health Physiotherapist, Pilates instructor and Co-Founder of Perfect Motion Physio, whether women do enough to look after themselves over a lifetime of flux. Is our attitude one of acceptance or resistance? Are we talking openly and loudly enough about the issues, about the (often unspoken) shame around having periods and the menopause? Are we helping each other? Join us as we explore these questions, having laughs along the way!
