Physiotherapy UK 2017 | 10-11 November, Birmingham
We are excited to book our first physio event for the CUB, the well-known Physiotherapy UK 2017 Conference and Trade Exhibition in Birmingham. After independent evaluation at the end of the last year, the Comfortable Upright Birth (CUB) support has been included in clinical Policy and Procedure Documents from Cork University Hospital in Ireland as the product for use when caring for women with pelvic girdle and lower back pain in labor. This inspired our team to share the knowledge and to bring the CUB to a larger professional audience.

MAMA Conference | 2017
We've now had a couple of days to sit and reflect on what was a pretty incredible MAMA Conference 2017. Creating memories and encouraging our 2017 MAMA community to think, feel and experience something different.
We started the conference this year with a selection of images shared by our far-reaching audience, that captured a proud moment in their lives, this set us up for magical two days. MaMa provides the unique opportunity to ‘think’ amongst a crowd of like-minded individuals whilst listening to our inspiring speakers including keynote speaker Prof Hannah Dahlen from Sydney, Australia taking about ‘Does it matter where birth happens’ through to ending the conference with Ina May Gaskin from Tennessee, USA sharing her incredible experiences and stories on instinct and movement during birth.
The feeling of belonging, laughing, learning and loving during the two days is extremely important. From all corners of the globe many of our delegates haven't met previously and the conference creates a feeling, as someone nicely put it "like a big cuddle" regardless views, culture or background, MAMA encompasses the sense of acceptance and diversity, sharing stories and knowledge to help positive movement across the world. Many of our wonderful speakers mentioned in their address about the importance of experience during labour and birth. Positive experience is something we all want and seek throughout our lives. MAMA provides an experience that our community can remember and cherish forever. From meeting a new friend, having a conversation that stimulates positive change, or even ten minutes to dance, decorate a cake or be inspired by our speakers - collectively creating something special.
To those who joined us in 2017, thanks for being part of it - take the energy and passion back to your place of work and spread the MAMA love. It's now time for the MAMA team to look at 2018 - making it even more spectacular. Keep an eye on our website and social activity where we'll take you on this exciting journey with us.
2018 | 8th MAMA CONFERENCE | Worth the wait.
