Strength 💪 isn’t always the issue. Learn how to ✨coordinate✨ your core system to help your pelvic floor work better!

When we overly engage our upper abdominal muscles and underuse the deep core, it can increase downward pressure on our organs—like the bladder—and on the pelvic floor muscles. 👉 See my pinned post for the toothpaste tube visual!

This increased pressure can lead to:
🔹 Excess tension in the pelvic floor (trying to counteract the pressure)
🔹 Disrupted breath-core synergy
🔹 Symptoms like leakage, heaviness or bulging, and pain

The muscles in your abdomen, back, pelvis, and your breathing muscle (the diaphragm) all need to work together like a team. Even if they’re strong on their own, poor coordination can still cause dysfunction!

In pelvic floor physical therapy, we focus on neuromuscular retraining—helping your brain and body communicate better so your muscles move in sync.

It’s not just about getting stronger 💪—it’s about getting smarter 🧠 with how your body moves!

To every mama—new, seasoned, or somewhere in between—today we celebrate you. To those healing, those hoping, those grieving, those remembering—you are seen.

Your body carries stories of love, loss, strength, and resilience. Whether you’re navigating motherhood with a full heart or a tender one, your well-being matters.

Your pelvic floor tells a story too—of strength, change, and sometimes, the need for a little support. You are strong, deserving, and not alone.

Here’s to the moms who do it all—and deserve to heal fully. If your body feels different after motherhood, that’s okay. Let’s talk about it. Pelvic floor therapy is one way to nurture yourself through it all. DM me or book a consult when you’re ready.

If your body hurts when holding your baby, check in with yourself. Do you always hold them the same way? Are you shifting onto the same hip every time?

Repeating the same postures day after day can lead to muscle imbalances and pain. Check out my previous posts for common prolonged positions when caring for little ones!

Can you change things up? Even small adjustments can make a big difference. I love the saying “the best posture is the next posture”—motion is lotion!

In general, it’s helpful to:
✔ Keep equal weight through both feet
✔ Stack your rib cage over your pelvis
✔ Hold your baby centered on your body or use an ergonomic carrier

Still experiencing discomfort? We’re here to help! Pelvic PT isn’t just for pelvic floor concerns—it can also address aches and pains throughout your body. I use hands-on techniques like soft tissue work, myofascial release, cupping, and dry needling, combined with exercise and home programming, to get you back to feeling like you.

Forward-leaning inversions can help increase blood flow to the pelvic region, which can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with endometriosis. Additionally, it can help reduce inflammation in the pelvic area and promote lymphatic drainage, which may help with the removal of excess fluid and waste products that can contribute to endometriosis symptoms.

The forward-leaning position can also help lengthen and release tension in the pelvic floor muscles, which can become tight and painful due to endometriosis.

⚠️CAUTION: Avoid inversions during menstruation and obtain clearance from a healthcare provider before performing

Regular practice of forward-leaning inversions as part of a comprehensive treatment plan may help improve quality of life for those with endometriosis

✨As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I specialize in managing endometriosis symptoms and providing support for prehabilitation and rehabilitation around excision surgery. However, comprehensive care for endometriosis necessitates a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach✨

Tightness in the round ligament can impact fertility by altering the shape of the uterus, hindering the path for successful implantation—a condition termed mechanical infertility. This tension can also disrupt blood flow🩸to the uterus and ovaries, contributing to pain, decreased hormonal production, and infertility

✨Pelvic floor physical therapy, utilizing techniques such as visceral manipulation, plays a role in addressing these issues✨

Endometriosis can involve thicker or more fibrous round ligaments, intensifying the pain and fertility challenges associated with the condition.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) may help alleviate pain associated with conditions like painful periods (dysmenorrhea) and endometriosis

TENS works by delivering mild electrical currents⚡️ through electrodes placed on the skin, which can modulate pain signals sent to the brain🧠

There are two main frequencies used in TENS therapy:
1️⃣High frequency: This generates a tingling sensation that can provide short-term pain relief. It primarily affects A-beta nerve fibers, functioning in line with the gate control theory. While this method offers rapid relief, its effects tend to be short-lived🕚

2️⃣Low frequency: This frequency induces a more intense, tapping sensation that may be initially uncomfortable, but it can trigger the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. This results in pain relief that can last for hours🕧. Low-frequency TENS primarily targets A-delta and C nerve fibers, operating through the body’s op**te mechanism. It’s important to note that if a person is on opioid medications, the effectiveness of low-frequency TENS may be diminished

TENS can be applied to areas of the abdomen or lower back, which are common sites of discomfort during painful periods or in endometriosis cases

Consult with a physical therapist👩‍⚕️ before starting TENS therapy to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific condition and to receive guidance on proper usage

⚠️Don’t use TENS if you think you may be pregnant or have an implanted stimulator such as a pacemaker

Common prolonged postures when caring for kiddos👶 can contribute to muscle imbalances and pain.

#4️⃣ Rounded back: This posture is common when assisting your baby to crawl or walk and can contribute to back pain.

Working on hinging at the hips and strengthening the hip muscles can help reinforce the proper lumbopelvic rhythm by reducing over-reliance on the lumbar spine and improving hip mobility. Sometimes the lumbar spine takes over, leading to decreased hip flexion and potentially causing issues.

Pelvic PT not only helps with pelvic floor concerns but also any other aches/pains you’re experiencing! I offer both in-home, in-clinic, and virtual care 🫶

Common prolonged postures when caring for kiddos👶 can contribute to muscle imbalances and pain.

3️⃣ Swayback posture with the low back arched

This might feel natural, but over time, it can contribute to:
✖️Low back pain and “mom pooch”
✖️Core & pelvic floor imbalances

I love the saying “the best posture is the next posture” - motion is lotion!

In general it’s a good idea to:
▪️keep equal weight through both feet
▪️keep the rib cage stacked over the pelvis
▪️hold your baby in the middle of your body or wear an ergonomic carrier

Your body will thank you! 💛 Tag a parent who needs this reminder! 👇

The pelvic floor isn’t just about pregnancy or dysfunction—it’s an important muscle group for all! 💪 When conditioned to meet the demands of a woman’s sport, imagine the possibilities:
⚡ Stronger kicks
🏃‍♀️ Faster sprints
🔼 Higher jumps
🔥 More effective training

Yet, many athletes overlook these muscles, potentially leaving them underdeveloped compared to other muscle groups. What if optimizing pelvic floor function was the missing link to better performance, endurance, and injury prevention?

Think of your core like a tube of toothpaste. Your ribcage and pelvis are the ends of the tube, while the pelvic floor acts as the cap. Before exertion 🏋️‍♀️—whether pushing, pulling, lifting, or jumping—you want the cap on (engaging the pelvic floor) to keep everything in place, ensuring core stability, effective force transfer, and pelvic organ support.

Ideally, your pelvic floor should engage subconsciously, without you having to think about it. But for some, this automatic function is lost—leading to leaks, instability, or even pain. In such cases, consult a pelvic floor physical therapist 🫶

It’s time to unlock the full potential of ALL women’s pelvic health! Let’s train smarter, move stronger, and break limits together. 💥
