Emma and Grainne are delighted to present a very special FINALE episode. In this episode, they are joined by Olympian and world champion long distance runner Kara Goucher! This season of At Your Cervix has discussed so many facets of pelvic health with a strong bias towards the female athlete. In this episode, the discussion with Kara brings it all together. Kara has had an incredible career and has been exposed to many of the issues we have discussed throughout this season like REDs , pregnancy and postpartum complications as well as transitioning from athlete to mother athlete. Kara is a huge advocate of educating young athletes and a true inspiration to all women, young and old! 

This really is a must listen, get ready to be inspired, impassioned and excited about the future of the female athlete!  

Kara's Bio

**** Trigger warning This episode discusses birth trauma and birth injuries*****

Perineal injuries during childbirth known as OASI (Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury) or 3rd and 4th degree tears. A third-degree tear is a perineal tear that extends into the muscle of the external anal sphincter. If the tear extends further into the lining of the anus or rectum it is known as a fourth-degree tear. The incidence of OASI in the UK is 2.9% with an incidence rate of 6.1% in first births – meaning around 1 in 20 first-time mums in the UK suffer this type of serious injury. The main risk factor for anal incontinence amongst childbearing women is an OASI injury but OASI injuries can also cause other symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. An OASI can have a devastating impact on quality of life - affecting a woman’s health, intimate relationships, family relationships and employment.

In today's episode Emma Talks to Joanna Prance, Personal Trainer, Yoga Instructor, Ostomate and a Mum. In 1998, Jo was 22 when she sustained life-changing injuries during the traumatic birth of her son. The extent of these devastating injuries only manifested over time and she could never have imagined the ordeal of what the subsequent 23 years would bring or the impact her childbirth experience would have on the rest of her life. As a result she has undergone multiple treatments, procedures and over 17 surgical interventions, including TVT mesh, sacral neuromodulation and colostomy surgery.

Speaker Bio 

Through her work as Speaker and educator Joanna is keen to raise awareness of how life-changing severe childbirth injuries are to those who suffer them and their families and to improve the outcomes for those affected by these injuries.

Jo began her involvement with The MASIC Foundation in 2019, a charity that supports women who have suffered serious injuries like OASI (Obstetric Anal Sphincter Injury) during childbirth and is a MASIC Advocate.

She has also been engaged with project work for Colostomy UK, a charity that supports and empowers people living with a stoma

A keen sportswoman, she has sustained an active lifestyle despite facing numerous challenges as a result of her injuries. She enjoys yoga, walking, strength training and last year returned to competitive swimming.

Jo’s fitness and healthcare career spans over 17 years through her private work as a Personal Trainer and formerly in the public sector as a specialist Cardiac Rehabilitation Instructor.

The conversation around the menopause is finely gathering pace. It's a hot topic in the press and there are many great campaigns, more books and resources that can help women manage the menopause and seek the treatment they want and deserve. 

The menopause can be difficult to navigate and is still shrouded in mystery. Grainne and Emma had a great conversation about the menstrual cycle with Michelle Lyons in season 2 where we touched on menopause. In today's episode we were delighted to discuss the menopause in greater depth with Dr Orla Conlon. In this episode Orla debunks myths and provides some sound advice for any woman who is peri or post menopausal. She helps highlight that the menopause can be a positive time in a woman's life, a time that can be embraced.

This week's podcast episode was recorded for our new module of The Athletic Female course, The Perinatal Athlete, a course that Grainne, Emma and Helen McElroy have written and produced for health and fitness professionals who work with the female athletes. You can find out more about this course by heading to www.theathelticefemale.com.   This interview is accessible to all members of the Athletic female and is actually a follow on from the interview that Tianna had with Grainne which you can find from Season 3 or from The Athletic Female Module 1 if you have access. Listen to Gráinne interview Tianna Madison about her experience as an elite athletic female and  the transition into motherhood. Expert Biography Tianna Madison is an American track and field athlete who specialises in the long jump and short sprinting events. She is a two-time Olympian with three gold medals. Tianna shares her personal journey with Gynaecological issues and the difficulty she faced getting diagnosed as an elite female athlete with no children (at the time). ⠀⠀ She is an empowering example and advocate for the need to increase knowledge and awareness of female specific concerns, including Gynaecological issues, in athlete populations and organisations supporting women in physically activity at any level. ⠀ We are honoured to have Tianna support the Athletic Female Course and share her experience with female specific concerns as a high performance athlete

In this episode Midwife Molly O'Brien joins Emma and Grainne to discuss childbirth.  Molly has seen many women and birthing people suffer long and difficult births which led her to explore physiology and the biomechanics of human movement and apply it to the birthing process. She discusses the disruptors of the physiological birthing process and how women and birthing people can optimise the birth process. This is a great episode for anyone that works with pregnant women, is pregnant or has a pregnant friend or relative. 

To find out more about Molly and her course visit www.optimalbirth.co.uk

Molly O’Brien is an experienced, registered midwife whose 24 years of practice is guided by a salutogenic approach to birth with an emphasis on preserving, supporting and optimising the physiological birth process to achieve the best possible birth outcome and experience for the mother and her baby.

She created and teaches a course for midwives, doulas, obstetricians and birth associates called ‘Biomechanics for Birth’. The course has evolved from a combination of clinical midwifery, an autodidactic pursuit of knowledge about biomechanics from sources including physiotherapy, osteopathy and movement specialists and a career attending more than a thousand births, refining the midwifery skills of perception and observation of movements, positions and attitudes of birthing women.

Attending hundreds of undisturbed physiological births in the home and midwife led birth unit setting gave her the opportunity to make a systematic exploration of midwifery skills and observations that can help identify the reasons behind labour dystocia (difficult labour).

When labour dystocia is caused by a mechanical imbalance it requires a mechanical solution using specific and directed movement. The techniques and strategies that emerged from this time helped her to revolutionise her practice and she began to regularly witness rapid and dramatic progress as she put them to use during “difficult labours”

Her aim is to introduce an understanding and resolution of the root cause of mechanical labour dystocia into mainstream midwifery and obstetric practice and education of maternity health care practitioners. There is a real possibility to significantly reduce intervention, increase straightforward births and improve the birth experience.

Molly teaches the principles of biomechanics in the birth setting as part of a Masters degree in two universities in the UK and in a Chilean midwifery school. She is regularly invited to teach in NHS hospitals and she frequently teaches the course online to a global audience of multidisciplinary practitioners.

In this episode, we speak to Physical Therapist and runner Kacy Seynders who has had a turbulent journey through her childhood and adolescent years suffering from eating disorders, over-exercising and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-s). 

Kacy candidly discusses the huge physical impact that her eating disorder and RED-s have had on her physical, mental health and her athletic performance. She talks about how she has finally managed to untangle the complicated relationship between body weight, body composition and performance and how she now not only leads a healthy lifestyle that nurtures her physical and mental wellbeing but how she now uses her experiences to create a healthy culture for the athletes that she works with.

Why is sleep so important? What effect can a lack of sleep have on your mental and physical health? Can caffeine really affect your sleep that much? What can you do when sleep is hard to come by? 

These are the type of areas around sleep that we delve into with Matt Philips this week. 

For over ten years, Matt was part of a multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, sports therapists, osteopaths, podiatrists and massage therapists. In witnessing the coming & going of many misconceptions within the Running Industry, Matt decided through his website www.runchatlive.com to try and help both runners and therapists evolve from outdated ideas and embrace a more evidence-based approach to running injury prevention & management.  Matt has written for numerous websites & running magazines including Runners Connect & Outdoor Fitness. Matt currently offers specialist online consultation for runners & non runners struggling to achieve results. The ‘Sports Therapy Association Podcast‘ is recorded live every Tuesday at 8pm (UK time) via YouTube then upoaded to all podcast podcast apps.

Matt is not a sleep specialist but has suffered from insomnia and sleep deprivation for years. Keen to understand more this year he underwent a sleep study. Modern sleep research is now far more equipped at measuring the effect of poor sleep quantity & quality, and the results are pretty shocking as Matt Philips, has found.

Join us as we discuss many of the answers to the questions posed above and explore just why sleep matters. 

Find out more about the studies and researchers discussed via MAtt's month-long podcast series around sleep here:
