In your first trimester, your body is already making important changes — even if symptoms haven’t fully shown up yet.

This is the ideal time to understand how pregnancy affects your pelvic floor, posture, breathing, and core, and how early support can help prevent common discomforts later on.

Early guidance isn’t about treatment.
It’s about learning what your body needs now so you can move through pregnancy with more comfort and confidence.

If you’re in your first trimester and want personalised, pregnancy-safe guidance:
📩 Book a 1:1 consultation
📍 Get clarity, not guesswork
🤍 Support that’s tailored to you and your stage

Start informed. Move prepared.

💻 Book a pelvic health consultation at Harmony Physiotherapy, Ottawa, and take the first step toward feeling supported.

Physiotherapy & fertility: an often-missed piece of the puzzle.

Fertility challenges aren’t always hormonal or structural alone.
For many people, pelvic muscle dysfunction, restricted blood flow, chronic pelvic pain, and ongoing nervous system stress play a role—often quietly and over time.

Pelvic physiotherapy focuses on:
• restoring optimal pelvic muscle function
• improving circulation to the pelvic region
• reducing chronic tension and pain
• supporting nervous system regulation

Research suggests that 30–40% of infertility cases are linked to functional or unexplained factors, where improving pelvic health and stress regulation can meaningfully support medical fertility treatments and overall outcomes.

This isn’t about replacing medical care.
It’s about working alongside it, addressing the physical patterns that may be limiting progress.

Understanding your body is a powerful first step.

Stop scrolling — your pelvic floor needs this.

This isn’t about squeezing harder or doing random exercises you saw online.
It’s about breathing the right way to reconnect with your pelvic floor.

This simple pelvic floor breathing exercise helps:
* Reduce tension and holding
* Improve core–pelvic floor coordination
* Support bladder, bowel, and postnatal recovery
* Build strength gently, without strain

When your breath moves correctly, your pelvic floor responds naturally.
No force. No guessing. Just intentional, guided movement.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, tight, weak, or unsure where to even begin — this is your reset.

Try this exercise.
Listen to your body.
And move with awareness, not pressure.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.

𝐏𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞-𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬-𝐚𝐥𝐥—and it shouldn’t be treated that way.

With guided, intentional movement, Richa Rehan helps you reconnect with a part of your body that supports everything you do—how you move, stand, breathe, and feel.

This is about awareness before intensity.
Precision before repetition.
And strength that’s built with your body, not against it.

When your pelvic floor is supported correctly, confidence follows—quietly, steadily, powerfully.

✨ Move with purpose.
✨ Strengthen with guidance.
✨ Listen to what your body actually needs.

Because real strength starts from within.
Are you ready to power up?

Your body can feel a lot like Stranger Things sometimes.
What looks normal on the surface can hide an entire Upside Down underneath.
Pelvic health issues rarely announce themselves loudly.

They start quietly — a little leakage, pelvic heaviness, painful periods, discomfort during intimacy, or back pain you keep brushing off.

Common? Yes. Normal? No.
Just like the Demogorgon didn’t appear overnight, pelvic problems don’t either. They build slowly when early signs are ignored. And waiting for a “medical emergency” is like waiting for the portal to open — by then, the fix is harder.

Preventive pelvic check-ups are your early warning system.
They help identify muscle weakness, prolapse risks, hormonal changes, postpartum recovery issues, and menopausal transitions before they disrupt your everyday life.

Because prevention isn’t fear — it’s power.
Power to move comfortably.
Power to trust your bladder and bowel.
Power to feel confident in your body.
Power to age actively and independently.

Don’t wait for your pelvic health to enter the Upside Down.
Early checks = easier fixes.
✨ Show your pelvis some care today.

The internet can make almost anything look glamorous, shocking, or “natural”—and that’s exactly how trends like the period blood facial go viral. But here’s the truth most people don’t say out loud: just because something comes from your body doesn’t mean it belongs on your skin.

Menstrual blood is not sterile. It contains bacteria, tissue, and cellular debris that are meant to exit your body—not be reapplied to your face. Using it as a skincare mask isn’t “holistic,” “ancestral,” or “powerful”… it’s simply unsafe and can cause irritation, infections, and breakouts.

In a world obsessed with quick fixes and shock-value beauty routines, it’s important to pause and ask:
Is this trend backed by science—or just by views?

Your skin deserves care that’s safe, clean, and supported by actual dermatology and physiology—not random experiments packaged as empowerment. Real wellness comes from understanding your body, not misusing it.

Let’s choose education over exaggeration, and facts over fads.

Freezing your eggs isn’t “overreacting” — it’s proactive, informed future-planning.
It’s choosing your own timeline, your own autonomy, and your own biological flexibility — instead of racing against a clock set by society.

Here’s the truth:
🧬 Egg freezing preserves your younger, healthier eggs for the future
⏳ It gives you time — to grow, build, heal, explore
🙅‍♀️ It’s NOT desperation — it’s empowerment
❤️ And it’s absolutely okay if motherhood isn’t immediate or linear

If you’re thinking of egg freezing, or even just curious about fertility options — you’re not alone, and you’re not “late.” You’re in control.

Let’s talk openly, without whispers or shame — because women deserve clarity, not silence. 💗

𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 “𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.” They’re finally being heard.
For generations, women have been taught to whisper their pain—whether it’s about periods, pelvic pain, sexual health, pregnancy loss, postpartum changes, or intimacy struggles.

But silence has never protected us—awareness does. 💗
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, minimized, ignored, or told “it’s normal, just deal with it”—you are not alone. Your voice matters. Your body deserves respect. Your experiences deserve validation.

Let’s break the cycle of shame.
Let’s normalize the conversations our mothers never had the chance to speak.

Let’s build a world where women aren’t brave for sharing—just human.

✨ Share this if you believe women’s health should never be taboo.

PCOS isn’t “just a hormone issue.”
It’s fatigue, cravings, mood shifts, stubborn weight, irregular cycles — and a body that feels like it’s working against you.

But movement can be medicine when it’s the right kind of movement.
Not punishment.
Not “burn more / eat less.”
But gentle, hormone-supportive exercises that:
• reduce inflammation
• support insulin balance
• improve ovulation
• calm cortisol & stress response
• reconnect you with your body

If you’re struggling with PCOS, you are NOT alone — and your body is not broken.
It’s asking for care, not criticism. 💛

Save this, share this, and tag someone who needs this reminder today.
