For the mums who’ve quietly
stopped doing the
exercise they love
Because leaking when you run, jump, laugh or sneeze isn’t something you have to live with.
A free evening with Linzi — Women’s Health Specialist at Optimal Physio — covering pelvic floor rehabilitation, lower limb conditioning, and the clinical technology that is changing outcomes for women after childbirth.

You’ll recognise at least one of these
This evening is for any woman — whether you gave birth last year or fifteen years ago. If any of the below sounds familiar, this workshop is for you.
You choose your gym kit by colour — dark leggings only, just in case
You leak when you run, jump, sneeze or cough — and you’ve quietly accepted it as normal
You’ve stopped doing exercise you used to love — running, HIIT, classes — without fully admitting why
You tried pelvic floor exercises and nothing really changed — or you’re not sure you were doing them correctly
You map toilets before any activity and always sit near the aisle
You haven’t told anyone — not your GP, not your partner, not your friends
You’ve been told “it’s normal after children” and you’re not sure that’s the whole story
Symptoms are getting worse and you suspect perimenopause is a factor
You want to run, do a class, trampoline with your kids — without planning around it
Everything you wish someone had told you sooner
No jargon. No embarrassment. Honest, practical information from a specialist who works with women like you every day.
Why This Happens — and Why It’s Not Permanent
A plain-language explanation of what pregnancy, childbirth, and hormonal changes actually do to the pelvic floor — and why “it’s normal after children” is not the same as “nothing can be done.”
Pelvic Floor Rehab Beyond Kegels
Up to 50% of women cannot activate their pelvic floor correctly without guidance. Linzi will explain what evidence-based rehabilitation actually looks like — and why generic advice so often fails to deliver.
Lower Limb Conditioning — the Missing Piece
The pelvic floor does not work in isolation. Glute strength, hip stability, and load management through the legs are central to lasting recovery. Linzi will show you what proper lower limb conditioning looks like in this context.
The Clinical Technology Changing Outcomes
Shockwave therapy for scar tissue, red light therapy for healing and muscle recovery, and Stimpod neuromodulation for restoring nerve signalling. What each does, who it’s right for, and what the evidence shows.
Returning to Exercise Safely
The progression from low-impact activity back to running, HIIT, and everything in between — what the evidence says about when and how to progress, and why pushing through too soon causes long-term harm.
Open Q&A with Linzi
The floor is yours. Ask anything, anonymously if you prefer. Nothing will surprise Linzi and no question is too small. Everything said in the room stays in the room.
What women say after working with Linzi
“I’d been told running and weight lifting were no longer options for me. After six weeks of treatment with Linzi, I’m back doing both. Something I genuinely never thought would be possible again.”
“I hadn’t at any point worried about urgency. My shoulders weren’t tense. I wasn’t clenching. It’s quick, it’s simple and it works. Please don’t put it off the way I did.”
Meet Linzi
Linzi is the Clinical Lead at Optimal Physio and a specialist in women’s health. She works with women at every stage — from the early postnatal period through to perimenopause and beyond.
She’s worked with women who arrive at their first appointment having never told anyone about their symptoms — women who have been quietly managing for years, who have been told nothing can be done, or who’ve tried the standard advice with no result.
Linzi is certified in Stimpod NMS460 neuromodulation, radial shockwave therapy, and photobiomodulation. She brings clinical depth and genuine warmth to every consultation — and a frank ability to explain complex physiology in plain, useful language.
This evening is informal, warm, and entirely judgement-free. There is nothing you could say that would surprise her.
One in three women. Almost none of them talking about it.
“Common doesn’t mean normal. And normal doesn’t mean permanent. You deserve better than a lifetime of adapting.”
The runner who stopped running. She told everyone she “just prefers walking now.” The truth is she hasn’t run without leaking since her second child was born.
The woman who plans everything around toilets. She knows every public toilet within a mile. She’s never admitted why she always takes the aisle seat.
The woman with the leggings system. Black for the gym. Dark colours always. She’s quietly built her wardrobe around contingency planning.
The mum who sits out the trampoline park. She cheers from the sidelines. She says she’s “not really a jumping person.” Her kids don’t know the real reason.
