Diastasis Recti

“I first attended complete control 1:1 sessions 10 months after the birth of my first child four years ago due to bladder issues from nerve damage. I found it really useful and wished I had known about it earlier.

After a second traumatic vaginal birth, I was again left with bladder issues, this time with urine retention due to physical damage, which was not resolving like the first time.

I contacted Sarah within the first few weeks and after my first Zoom appointment, at 5 weeks post-birth, I was re-introduced to hypopressives. The programme of activities from Sarah was bespoke and flexible making it easier to fit into my already hectic daily routine.  

Within 10 days of starting the exercises, I went from having to self-catheterise up to six times a day, to once a day.

With every day I noticed a slow but steady improvement.  I would not have believed something so simple could be so effective had I not experienced it myself.   Sarah was amazingly supportive and encouraging and really helped to ensure I did the exercises correctly, giving me the support I needed to follow the tailored programme she had set.  

I could not recommend Complete Core Control’s 1:1 sessions enough.

Having being told by my doctors I just had to wait for my bladder to recover in time, with direction to give it at least three months, I was feeling down and powerless to do anything to help improve my issues.

Doing hypopressives gave me something tangible I could try, which helped me both physically and psychologically leaving me feeling empowered and regaining control.”
