  Mind the gap: Understanding Diastasis Surgery with Dr Gehan Karunaratne

  Sep 15, 202638 min

  In this episode, we sit down with Dr Gehan Karunaratne, whose specialist interest lies in plastic surgery, to talk about what actually happens when women decide on surgical repair for diastasis recti. Gehan brings something rare to this conversation: a physio background alongside his surgical training, which means he sees the abdominal wall from both sides of the journey. We dig into the gap between what women think they should fix and what actually needs fixing, what’s considered “normal” and why this isn’t as straightforward as it seems and the ins and out of surgical repair including the procedure itself and recovery timeframes. This episode is for anyone considering surgery, for women questioning what’s normal and for clinicians wondering when it’s worthwhile to refer. Key takeaways • A wide linea alba isn't automatically a problem, and a narrow one isn't automatically fixed. What matters is function, tissue quality and whether it's affecting your life. • Prehab matters, but it matters more for some women than others. There's a point where conservation stops working, and surgeons may be able to fill that gap. • Recovery is not linear, and it is extensive. This is not an overnight procedure. • The body image piece is as important as the surgical piece, and asking the right questions before surgery can save everyone heartbreak afterward. • Australia's approach to diastasis sits somewhere between being evidence-informed and being shaped by what Medicare will fund. We hope you enjoy this outside the “box” chat! Links and resources • Dr Gehan Karunaratne: @drgehankarunaratne

  Running and Prolapse with Carrie Pagliano

  Jul 28, 202638 minS4

  In this episode we sit down with renowned physio Dr Carrie Pagliano to talk about one of the topics we get asked about most: running, lifting and exercise when you have a diagnosed prolapse. Carrie brings decades of clinical expertise to a conversation that goes well beyond “just do your pelvic floor exercises.” We talk about the very real fear so many people feel around returning to activity after a prolapse diagnosis, and why that fear is so often bigger than the anatomy actually warrants. We dig into what it looks like to piece the picture together for an individual, looking at the whole body and the many factors that contribute to symptoms rather than fixating on the prolapse alone. Carrie also unpacks the disconnect that can exist between symptoms and anatomy, why what you feel doesn’t always match what’s happening structurally, and how to manage that gap with your patients (or yourself) without it derailing progress. We cover a practical framework for graded exposure to activity when someone is symptomatic, how to build back load and intensity without triggering a flare, and where internal pelvic floor devices fit into the picture. What’s actually out there, and what’s genuinely useful versus what’s just noise. And we finish on the theme running through the whole episode: saying yes to running, weight lifting and the activities people love, because a person is not just a pelvic floor. Whether you’re a clinician working with this population or someone navigating your own prolapse journey, this one will change how you think about “return to activity.” Where to find Carrie: @carriepagliano Listen to her podcast: ActiveMum Podcast

  From Clinician to Founder, with Amelia Godfrey (Pelvy)

  Jul 14, 202637 minS4

  In this episode Tash and Kat chat with pelvic health physio Amelia Godfrey, founder of Pelvy, now supporting over 4,200 patients across 106 clinics in 6 countries. Amelia shares how a gap she saw in clinical practice sparked the idea for Pelvy, what it took to build an app with zero tech background, and why she wishes she’d launched something smaller first. We dig into the mindset of building a business from scratch, the hardest and most rewarding parts of entrepreneurship, and what kept her going through the uncertainty. She also busts the myth that you need a huge following to launch something, breaking down what actually worked for Pelvy’s low-budget marketing, and why FOMO beats follower count. We close on what’s next for Pelvy and where she sees pelvic health tech heading. Connect with Amelia: @pelvy.app
