Did you know that May is Menstrual Hygiene Awareness month? We are piggy backing this month to provide education on pelvic health. The purpose of menstrual hygiene month is to raise awareness to the challenges and hardships many menstruators experience. For some, the cost alone of hygiene products can feel overwhelming. For others, it's finding a safe space to practice good menstrual hygiene. The ideal scenario would give someone a clean private space with a sink, toilet, soap and running water. The harsh reality is, not everyone has access to these. Women in other parts of the world are not so lucky. For example, only 46% of women in Kenya have reported access to clean products and a sanitary location.
Aside from products and good hygiene, women also experience internal issues. The pain, hormonal changes, headaches, etc from monthly menstruation can be a lot to bear.
At Kneaded Care, we offer Pelvic Health Physiotherapy. Alison is able to assess and treat a client by prescribing exercises to help relax and strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. With time and dedication, menstrual pain and cramping can decrease in intensity.
This month, Kneaded Care wants to help our local Period Pop Up. We hosted a Mother's Day giveaway, and are making a monetary donation to the @brantfordperiodpopup to support the local pantries. At Kneaded Care, we support wellness in any way shape and form and love to give back to our community when we can. This month, we challenge you to make a donation to The Brantford Period Pop Up. You can visit their social media platforms where they keep an up to date list of most needed items in the pantries.
If you would like to see our pelvic health physiotherapist, you can book with Alison using our 24/7 online booking system www.kneadedcare.com, or give the clinic a call (519) 757-1869.
