If your answer is somewhere between “constant” and “is this just my life now?” — let’s talk about back breathing 👇

Back breathing helps your ribs expand in all directions — not just forward into your chest or down into your belly. When you breathe into your back and sides, you:
🌬️ Encourage better rib cage mobility
💪 Reduce tension and pain in your low and mid back
🍑 Support your pelvic floor by improving pressure management
🧠 And even help your nervous system chill out — which means more calm for you and your toddler (yes, tantrum regulation starts with your breath!)

Try this:
👉 Lean forward onto your thighs
👉Head supported on ball or ball placed on top your thighs
👉 Inhale gently into your back and sides
👉 Exhale slowly, letting your ribs melt down

✨And who knows, eventually your toddler may want to join in and start learning to regulate their own nervous system! Co-regulation means everyone wins 💪🏼

✨ Movement Matters in Labor ✨

Pelvic Floor Penelope had quite a birth experience but the point is your baby needs your pelvis to have access to movement during labor!

During pregnancy, we often talk about stability — building strength, supporting your joints, and keeping your pelvis steady as your body changes.

But here’s the thing: when it comes to labor, mobility becomes just as important. 💪🏽✨

Being able to move your pelvis freely — to rock, sway, squat, shift, or change positions — helps your baby find the best path through the birth canal and can make contractions more effective (and often more comfortable!).

🌀 Mobility = space for your baby.
⚖️ Stability = support for your body.
You need both for a smoother, more empowered birth experience.

Let’s prepare your body for strength + freedom of movement!

🚫Myth Busted: Your UTERUS pushes your baby out! Your pelvic floor typically just needs to get out of the way!

We want a COORDINATED pelvic floor and core during birth. Not only lengthened and not only strong.

That’s why in pelvic floor therapy we focus on:
✨ Identifying areas of tension or asymmetry in the body
✨Breathing strategies to work with your uterus
✨ Coordination between your diaphragm + pelvic floor
✨ Safe, effective pushing techniques and positions

So remember: crunches ≠ better pushing.

👀 Spot the difference!

Same pose… two totally different effects on your pelvis. Which one do you think helps more for birth prep? 🤔

✨ Hint: BOTH can support labor—depending on how your baby moves and where you need more mobility.

“Mom Butt” 🍑- who else is guilty 🙋🏻‍♀️

“Butt clenching” is a real postural habit that may potentially be the cause of your back pain, hip pain or pelvic floor dysfunction. The good news is that small, daily adaptations (and of course pelvic floor therapy) can make a major difference! So check in with those cheeks, and give us a call if you think “mom butt” is wreaking havoc on your body, and your day-to-day!
