An Expert Physio & Nutrition Guide for Clubs, Coaches & Athletes

Pelvic floor dysfunction affects over 32% of females in their lifetime. Among young active females aged 14–24, up to 15% experience bladder leaks, particularly during physical activity. Research from Dublin City University revealed that more than half of women playing Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie experience clinically significant pelvic floor dysfunction, a condition that impacts quality of life, athletic performance, and psychological well-being, yet remains largely unaddressed.

The good news is that pelvic floor issues are highly treatable, easily improved, and often completely cured. Knowledge is power. That is why Clinical Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Helen Keeble and Registered Associate Nutritionist Ruth Kavanagh have teamed up to create this ‘Pelvic Health for Young Active Females’ package. It’s time to empower young athletes from adolescence to early adulthood with the knowledge they need to stay confident, active and performing at their best.

What is included in this package?

For a single payment of €195, your club, team, or organisation gains instant access to two on-demand, expert-led workshops along with a downloadable 2-page summary resource which can be distributed directly to players, members, and coaching staff.

Workshop 1 (50 minutes): The Pelvic Floor Pep Talk with Helen Keeble (BSc Hons, MCSP, MPOGP, MCORU, MISCP).

When we talk about core strength in sport, the pelvic floor is the vital, often-overlooked piece of the puzzle. In this comprehensive workshop, Helen covers:

• What the pelvic floor is and its primary functions in athletic performance.
• How common pelvic floor muscle problems are and why they happen.
• Evidence-based strategies to prevent and treat pelvic floor dysfunction.
• Helen’s 5 Simple Steps to Future-Proof Your Pelvic Floor.

Workshop 2 (17 minutes): Nutrition and The Pelvic Floor with Ruth Kavanagh (BSc Hons, MSc, ANutr).

What we eat and drink directly impacts bladder and bowel function. Pressure, irritation, and constipation can contribute to leaks, urgency, or pain. In this practical workshop, Ruth delivers:

• How to identify and manage common bladder irritants.
• The importance of proper hydration for pelvic floor health.
• Practical nutrition tips to prevent common bowel symptoms like constipation.
