Yesterday I was at the women's physiotherapy department for my pelvic floor issues. I've been told to stop all the exercise I've been doing and I feel so upset.
I've stopped running on the advice of my physio as it was too stressful for myPF. I was really gutted as I love running. I stopped all prolonged high impact exercises but I started doing Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30.
It's a combination of squats, small jumps, lunges, crunches and compound movements with weights.
Around starting this exercise regime, something 'went wrong' with my pelvic floor and the physio says I have the start of a prolapse. She has advised me to step up my pelvic floor exercises but has warned me off any exercises with weights or anything I had been doing previously.
I am in the process of losing weight and I really saw a big difference when i added exercise into my weight loss programme. I feel like this is a massive set back. I know it sounds silly but I ended up in tears at the thought of not being able to exercise properly until I strengthen these muscles.
Has anyone been in this situation? I've been told I can swim but that seems to be the extent of it. Can anyone give any advice as to alternative activities that worked for them. I feel like I'm like an old woman and I'm only 33.
Sorry if I sound dramatic.
TIA
