And not or with respect to your pelvic floor. Accessory training, isolated strengthening, AND specific training.

If you want to get better at something, then you need to be doing that something in some shape or form.

The closer to your symptom ceiling we can train…. Based on your comfort/tolerance with that…. The faster we can build capacity.

Want to figure out how to train with your symptoms:
- jumping
- running
- lifting

I’d love to support you.

Are you a default parent with kids under 5?
Keep reading….

Here’s some fitness advice we share with all my clients in this season - and advice we follow ourselves!

- interruptions in your workouts are expected. It may take an entire day to finish a planned workout. THATS OK! You did it.
- all or nothing mentality is brutal. Embrace any movement! EVERYTHING “counts”.
- have a plan A, B, C, etc. for movement in your week. If something falls through or needs change, jump to the next in line. I hate this reality but it really helps to still get movement in.
- communicate your needs with others around you. Your needs matter!
- have a plan for workouts (follow a program or attend a class if that’s possible) so there isn’t guess work when you actually get the time to move your body. Moving towards something is so rewarding AND building strength requires progressive overload.

It’s ok to dislike a lot of how fitness looks and feels in this season. It’s often so different than pre kids. The reality is, if you ditch the all or nothing and embrace imperfection with routines/schedules/workouts you will most likely get MORE of what you want in the mix.

You don’t have to be at the top of the priority list each day (ahem, impossible as the default parent). But, I want you to fit yourself in somewhere besides the bottom of the list whenever possible. You deserve that.

Fill your cup FOR YOU.

There are TOO many reasons to see a pelvic health PT during pregnancy!

Many people feel like they need to wait to establish care until symptoms are brutal OR until after birth.

However, things tend to go better when we take action from the start:
- movement strategies for each trimester
- symptom management (HELLOO back pain, headaches, p***c bone, etc)
- support your pelvic floor during this season
- prepare for birth
- prepare body and make a plan for postpartum
- assess abdominals/load core
- understand your body changes and move confidently
- be PROACTIVE

Intentions for birth OUTSIDE of a type of birth.

We’re all for supporting ALL births at Empower!

We love when clients choose to expand their goals/intentions to address how they want to feel during pregnancy and birth.

Do you have more creative/meaningful intentions to add?
