I get a lot of clients who what to know what then can do immediately postpartum to help with healing and return to activity. I think there’s a lot of social media that expect moms to get right back into to working out and doing their ‘normal’ activities. We need to be patient with ourselves and allow our body time to heal!

That being said, there are a few things you can focus on immediately postpartum:

👶 Rest - allow your body time to rest. Sit around, snuggle baby and eat healthy foods that aid in recovery and muscle repair
👶Ask for help when you need a break - have a support system ready! Ask for help from your husband, parents, in-laws if needed. Hire a postpartum doula!
👶Begin deep breathing and 360 breathing - this is breath working focusing on moving the diaphragm and ribs to help with abdominal and pelvic floor recovery and healing
👶Gentle TA activation - this helps get your core engaged and aids in Diastasis and pelvic floor recovery (if you don’t know how to do this, see a pelvic floor PT)

A moment of caught on camera by a 3 year old 🤣. Laundry is by far my least favorite thing to do. I think I did 6 loads this weekend and somehow I’m doing more today 🤣.

I heard a podcast by .parenting talking about how our heart attitude needs to change when we do tasks we don’t necessarily love. Instead of being bitter snd grumbling, we need to switch our internal dialogue into one of thanksgiving and prayer. So for me doing laundry is a conversation of gratefulness that I have a laundry room with a nice washer and dryer, that we have clothes to wear and that I have a wonderful family that wear them :)

Can you guess what this is?!

A ginger ice cube!! This was my husbands genius idea. We had so much fresh ginger and didn’t want it to go to waste. He threw it in the food processor, added some water and froze it. Now, we can throw them in smoothies or hot water for some extra health benefits 🙌

Health benefits of ginger include:
🔥decrease inflammation
🔥 decrease pain/muscle soreness
🔥calms nausea (good for all those 1st trimester mamas)
🔥improved digestion
🔥boosts your immune system

I made a ginger tea with a bit of raw honey this morning and it was delicious.

Happy New Year!! This last year has been busy but oh so fun. Super excited to see what 2023 has in store for me, my family and my business. ❤️.

Having feelings of ‘falling out’ or vaginal heaviness?

Does it getworse with prolonged standing, walking, coughing/sneezing or laughing?

You may have some prolapse! It might sound scary, but take heart, your organs aren’t really going to fall out. Often times, spasm or scar tissue can create some downward pressure leading to this heaviness feeling.

The good news is Pelvic Floor PT can help! More goes into treating prolapse then just doing Kegels! We look at…

- Strength in the hips and core 💪
- Posture 🧘‍♀️
- Scar tissue/muscle spasm in the pelvic floor
- Breathing patterns 🫁
- Overall movement patterns and force transfer during everyday activities 🤸‍♀️

The simple answer is YES!!

Stress and a heightened nervous system response can lead to tightness and tension in the pelvic floor. This cause difficulty relaxing your pelvic floor muscles leading to chronic pelvic pain, pain with s*x, incontinence and urgency/frequency issues.

What can we do about it? Learn to notice when your feel stress, tune into what your pelvic floor is doing and then consciously relax the pelvic floor muscles.

Need more help?! Get to a pelvic floor PT today!!
