🌟 Why Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Matters Postpartum 🌟

Hey mamas! 💖 Did you know that starting pelvic floor physical therapy just 2 to 4 weeks after giving birth can make a world of difference? Here’s why it’s so important:

1️⃣ Early Healing: Your body has gone through tremendous changes, and the pelvic floor takes some serious hits during childbirth. Starting therapy early can aid in faster recovery and help to heal any trauma.

2️⃣ Preventing Issues: Many women experience pelvic pain, incontinence, or dysfunction after giving birth. Early intervention can help prevent these common issues from becoming chronic.

3️⃣ Strengthening Muscles: A strong pelvic floor is essential for core stability and overall strength. Therapy can guide you in exercises tailored to rebuild strength safely starting with the very basics and building from there.

4️⃣ Empowering Parenthood: With greater pelvic floor health, you can enjoy your postpartum life without fear of leakage or discomfort. It boosts confidence in your daily activities and workouts!

5️⃣ Personalized Care: Every woman’s experience is unique. A physical therapist can provide customized strategies that fit your specific needs, ensuring you’re on the best path to recovery.

Don’t wait! Book your pelvic floor therapy appointment today and support your journey to feeling your best 🙌✨

One of the biggest benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy is that it’s not just about your pelvic floor — it’s about retraining your whole system from the ground up. 🌎✨
We rebuild strength, coordination, and control so you can safely get back to the things you love — whether that’s running, lifting, or moving with confidence in your daily life.
In this reel you’ll see:
➡️ Single leg RDL with resisted thoracic rotation to connect core, hip, and balance
➡️ Progression into single leg jump to bring in power + impact, getting you closer to running and higher level activity
This is the bridge between rehab and real life movement. 💪

✨Why inversions in pregnancy?✨

Inversions can be such a powerful tool during pregnancy. Whether it’s a full inversion (hips higher than shoulders, like draping off the edge of a couch or bed) or a modified version on the floor (hello, puppy pose 🙌), these positions help create more space in the pelvis, encourage baby to find an optimal position, and give your hardworking pelvic floor a break from constant downward pressure.
They’re gentle, safe when done mindfully, and can be adjusted to what feels best in your body. Inversions are one of my favorite “reset” tools for both comfort and labor prep. 💛
Hold this for 30 seconds while using deep breathing.

“Your birth prep ball is more than just for sitting”
This is one of my favorite ways to prep your hips and pelvis for labor — using your physio ball! These movements help keep your hips mobile, your pelvis open, and your body comfortable as you get ready for birth and they are all seated!.
✨ Try these:
➡️Light bouncing to release tension + promote mobility
🔁 Gentle pelvic circles
⬅️➡️ Rock forward and back into hip external rotation
🫶 Rock in and out of a hip flexor stretch
➡️ Rock side to side to open your adductors


These are simple, low-impact movements you can do daily to help your pelvis stay open and your baby stay well-positioned — plus, they just feel so good.

We’re calling this one the “Stanky Leg”—and yes, the name fits 😂 but this one is serious birth prep gold.

This move works your full hip rotation range of motion—which is a major key for labor and pushing. Having strong, mobile hips helps your pelvis open and move as baby descends, and the resistance band adds that next level of control and strength through every part of the rotation.
Think of it as training your hips to actually move the way they need to during birth—because stiff or weak hip rotators can make it harder for your body to create space when it counts most.

🎶 So turn on that Stanky Legg, grab your band, and get those hips ready for birth like a pro.

🌟 Labor Exercise Series: Part 2 - Open The Birth Canal🌟

Welcome to part 2 in our 3-part labor exercise series designed to assist with opening the pelvis during labor! Today’s focus is moving beyond the pelvic inlet and helping to guide baby along through the birth canal. 👶🏼

✨ Exercise: Rocking Lunges
This exercise helps open up each side of your pelvis through asymmetric movement which allows baby’s head to “shimmy” down the birth canal.

To perform: start in a half-kneeling position with a birthing ball in front of you to support your arms and trunk. Allow your body to rock forward, bending into your front knee to create whichever movements feel most comfortable to your body. This could be side to side movement, circles, or a figure 8 pattern.

This will serve you well to perform throughout pregnancy as well in order to learn which positions your body likes in preparation for labor!

Stay tuned for part 3 of this series to learn how to prepare for the pushing phase! 💖
