If your p***c symphysis pain flares every time you move, a support belt or KT tape can help take the edge off. These tools give your pelvis a bit more external support, which can make things like walking, getting out of the car, or rolling in bed feel more manageable.

But this is the important part: They’re not the fix.

They’re a tool to help calm symptoms while you build the strength and control your body actually needs. Use them during more aggravating activities, not all day, and not as a replacement for doing the work.

If you’re relying on one just to get through the day, that’s usually a sign your body needs more support than it’s currently getting.

Have you tried a support belt or KT tape yet? I’m curious what your experience has been.

She couldn’t lift her son. Getting in and out of bed hurt like the dickens. The car was no better. Every movement felt sharp and frustrating. She had been seeing a chiro, which helped temporarily, but things weren’t improving consistently.

And at that point, she was starting to feel a little stuck and pretty darn discouraged.

She was also completely new to strength training. So when we started, it felt challenging, unfamiliar, and overwhelming. So, we moved at a pace that felt doable. We started making a bit of progress, and then she got pregnant.

This was an amazing thing and we were so excited for her. But, now we had another layer and potential for regression.

We focused on building confidence, improving mobility, strengthening her glutes, core, and inner thighs without gripping, cleaning up her timing and core control so her body actually supported her when she moved, and progressing her capacity as much as possible in preparation for labor.

Things continued to improve. Sure, she had flare-ups from time to time as baby grew and moved, but overall things continued to improve steadily.

Getting out of bed became easier. The car didn’t feel like a whole event anymore. She could lift her son again without that sharp, immediate pain. And this was all while her pregnancy was still progressing. Oh, and she had a beautiful labor and birth and didn’t have any tearing.

That’s the part people miss. Rarely do we just need to avoid movement or wait for things to calm down. Your body can feel better while you’re still pregnant when it’s supported the right way.

If you’re dealing with this right now, you don’t have to just push through it.

Comment below what you’ve tried for p***c symphysis pain and if it actually helped.

Sharp pain in the front of your pelvis when you roll over or get out of the car?

While this is exceptionally common, especially during pregnancy, it is definitely not normal.

Yes, relaxin can play a role. But this is not just ‘loose ligaments.’ And yes, your body may feel tense, but your pelvis likely isn’t handling load well.

So every time you stand on one leg, roll in bed, get dressed, shave, or get in and out of the car, your body has some strong opinions. Immediately. And they’re usually sharp and shooting opinions at that.

Often, pregnant women are dismissed and told this is normal in pregnancy. So, you may have been told to “just rest,” “stretch,” or “wait it out.” I’ll say it for you, that advice is crap. That’s why this lingers and you stay unnecessarily miserable throughout your pregnancy.

What actually helps:
Better movement.
Better strength.
Better load management.

This is fixable.

Message me “PELVIS” and let’s get you out of pain and moving normally again.

If sitting has been bothering your tailbone, start here!

Change positions frequently: Try leaning slightly forward instead of leaning back. Shift side to side. Use cruise control on long drives

When we lean back, this puts more direct pressure on the tailbone. There's nothing inherently wrong with reclining, but when the area is already a bit grumpy, then we want to respect the body's voice. It's telling you something is up, not damaged, but needing attention. A slight forward lean can help shift pressure toward your sit bones and take some stress off the coccyx.

You don’t have to sit perfectly upright all day, but small position changes like this can make a noticeable difference.

Save this for the next time sitting starts to feel uncomfortable.

03/16/2026

Tailbone pain can make everyday things incredibly uncomfortable. Sitting at work, driving in the car, leaning back in a chair, or even getting up from a seated position can become increasingly challenging and painful.

Now, you may assume that tailbone pain is just about the bone itself, but the coccyx is actually connected to several ligaments and pelvic floor muscles. When those tissues become irritated or tight, the tailbone area can become very sensitive to pressure.

That’s why something as simple as sitting can feel uncomfortable. The good news is that once you understand what’s contributing to the pain, there are often ways to improve it. We’re talking about tailbone pain this week and what actually helps.

Trying to fix diastasis with random core exercises can feel frustrating. With the state of the internet, it can also be incredibly confusing. Don’t do crunches, do crunches. Don’t do planks, do planks. What’s real and what’s not? Here’s my hot take: I don’t really care about the gap or the depth…I care about what your function is. If someone has a four-finger gap but can get out of bed without coning or struggling, while someone else has a two-finger gap and can’t get up from the couch without help, those are two very different situations.

Many people focus on closing the gap or avoiding core work completely, but what usually matters more is how the entire core system functions together. Simple tip: For now, exhale to get up from a laying down position.

In pelvic floor physical therapy, we work on breathing mechanics, pelvic floor coordination, and pressure management so the core system can start working together again.

If you’ve been dealing with abdominal doming or a core that still feels weak after pregnancy, pelvic floor physical therapy can help clear up the confusion and get you on a good path for rebuilding strength.

If you’ve noticed doming or coning through your abdomen during certain movements, you may have heard the term diastasis recti before.

A lot of people think diastasis is just about a gap or the depth between the abdominal muscles. In reality, it’s usually more about how the core is functioning together as a system.

Your core includes the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, and deep stabilizers that help manage pressure when you lift, exercise, or even just move through daily life.

Coning or doming (that bulge along the midline of your abs) is information that tells us that this system isn’t quite doing the full job yet. Sometimes that simply means pressure needs to be managed better, or that the movement or load is beyond the current capacity of the core.

The encouraging part is that this system is very trainable like any other muscle group!

Have you ever noticed doming or coning during exercise?

If you feel like you’re constantly worried about where the nearest bathroom is, it’s time to regain control over your bladder.

Urinary urgency is incredibly common. But it is also very treatable.

At Fortis, we help patients retrain bladder and pelvic floor patterns so urgency stops running their day. We look holistically at how the system is working together from hydration, to movement, to stress, and more.

Most patients are surprised how much improvement they see once the right pieces start working together again.

If you’ve been dealing with urinary urgency, we’d love to schedule a complimentary discovery call to see if pelvic floor physical therapy at Fortis is the right next step for you!

03/05/2026

When you feel urinary urgency, the instinct is to rush to the bathroom immediately. I get it…when you gotta go, you gotta go. But sprinting there actually reinforces the urgency signal and trains the bladder to panic earlier.

Instead, try this:

- Pause for about 30–60 seconds before heading to the bathroom.
- Take a few slow breaths and allow the urge to settle slightly before walking calmly to the bathroom.

This small pause helps teach the bladder that it does not need to send such intense “go now” signals. Over time, these small delays can help retrain bladder signaling and reduce urgency episodes.

If urgency is something you deal with regularly, small strategies like this can make a meaningful difference.

“Just in case” peeing is incredibly common….and can be problematic. Initially you’re going just in case…then over time you’re going every 30 minutes.

A lot of people assume urinary urgency means their bladder is “just sensitive” or that medication is the only option. I hear the phrase “I have a nervous bladder” more times a week than you would think.

Now let’s not demonize just in case pees though. They have their place, such as before a long car ride where you won’t have know where the bathroom is or going on an outing and knowing you won’t have access to the bathroom for a few hours or going before you head to bed. These moments are OKAY to go just in case. But when it becomes a habit…that’s when we get problems.

In reality, urgency is often driven by a pattern between the bladder, pelvic floor, and nervous system that can be retrained.

When someone comes to see me for urgency, we are not just focusing on the bladder. We look at pelvic floor coordination, breathing mechanics, bowel health, hydration patterns, and the habits that may have trained the bladder to signal early.

The good news is that this system is incredibly adaptable. With the right approach, most people see meaningful improvements decently quickly.And if you have ever caught yourself mapping out bathrooms everywhere you go, you are definitely not alone.

Have you ever caught yourself doing the “just in case” bathroom trip?
Save this post if urinary urgency is something you deal with.

03/03/2026

Urinary urgency has a way of sneaking in suddenly. But, it usually isn't sudden at all. First you start going “just in case” before leaving the house, then you go through months of stress and high tension, or maybe you notoriously drink cups and cups of coffee. Before long, your bladder is calling the shots.

This pattern is incredibly common and almost no one realizes how trainable the bladder actually is. When it becomes hypersensitive, it sends “full now” messages long before it should. The good news is that you can change this. Most people with urgency respond really well to simple, evidence supported strategies.

If you read this and thought, “that is literally me,” stick around this week. We are talking about why this happens and what you can do to calm things down.

Pregnancy is a season where your strength, identity, routines, and body all shift at once. Things may feel a little fragile or vulnerable. That’s okay. It does, however, not mean that you have to avoid the things you love. It just means that while you adapt to this new season, you may just need a bit more guidance and support.

My approach is to help you understand what your symptoms mean, how to adjust your training, and how to stay (or get) strong in a way that matches this season.

If you’re feeling pressure, heaviness, leaking, or just unsure what’s “normal,” then you’re in good company. Pregnancy and postpartum can be a challenging and confusing time. You just deserve more support than just generic advice.

Book a consultation at the link in bio and I’ll help you make sense of what your body is doing and what it’s ready for next.
