Did you know that about 50 percent of women will experience a prolapse? We're talking a prolapse of their anterior vaginal wall, or their uterus or bowel starting to come down. And did you know that 34 percent of women experience leakage? But the encouraging news is 70-80 percent of women see significant improvements thanks to pelvic floor physiotherapy!

It's pretty mind-blowing that we aren't having more conversations about this part of our body, given how common (and normal) these challenges are. So join me as I speak with Tania McLean and Melissa Davidson, two pelvic floor physiotherapists. 

We talk about what to expect at a pelvic floor physiotherapy exam (I went for my first!), risk factors of prolapse, top tips on how to support your pelvic floor and more. Let's normalise this kōrero, aye? Join us!

Kia ora and nau mai haere mai to Grey Areas with me, Petra Bagust. This is about growing up and going grey, in Aotearoa New Zealand because I’m getting older. And so are you. So how do we do it well?

I reckon we can do it with a bit of gorgeousness and gusto and break that ‘getting old’ mould just a little. Or maybe more than a little.

So join me as we climb into some of those topics that just aren't so clear-cut, maybe are a little chewy, a little crunchy… and let’s journey our way through them.

I've got a group of wonderful wāhine, and the odd beaut bloke, to chat with, and we're going to share some wisdom that we've discovered along the way. And I’d love for you to share your wisdom with me too, because everybody has something to offer.
