What I did as a pelvic PT to return to running postpartum👇
✔️ Got cleared by a pelvic floor PT
✔️ Waited until 12 weeks (not rushing the process)
✔️ Prioritized multiplane glute + core strength
✔️ Gave myself grace on the hard days
✔️ Wore a pessary for support when needed
Not a bounce back… a build back.

Opening the pelvic outlet during pushing isn’t about stretching “more” — it’s about getting your hips in the right positions. 🥚✨

Exercises like reverse clamshells, all-fours rock backs with internal rotation, and IR shinbox work train the exact hip mechanics that help widen the lower part of the pelvis (where baby actually needs to exit).

Why it matters ⤵️
✨ Internal rotation creates more space at the pelvic outlet
✨ Easier baby descent during the pushing phase
✨ Better muscle coordination with your pelvic floor
✨ Helps prepare your body for positions you’ll use in labor

If you’re preparing for a smoother, more confident pushing phase, these belong in your routine. Comment "push" for a breathing guide with pushing!

What if your PT sessions could prepare you for birth instead of just fixing problems after?
At Best Self Wellness, our sessions are designed to educate you and your partner, build confidence, and prevent birth trauma — not just react to it.
Because birth prep isn’t just about your body…it’s about feeling informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way. 💫

I use the blueberry cue a ton when teaching Vag!na owners how to kegel, relax and bear down.

When your blueberry is at the "ground level" you should have a rested pelvic floor, when you go up to the next level, you are doing a kegel, when the blueberry is at the "basement" level, you are bearing down.

I promise, we don't record anyone else's internal exam! But this is a real exam that I wanted to share. With most pelvic PT offices, and especially ours, the goal is for patients to feel comfortable. No stirrups, you are draped the entire time with your therapist lifting only when necessary.

Some have also asked why I need a check up if Im a PT, because I am such a believer in physical therapy and I can't assess myself! Plus every coach needs a coach. I was relieved to find that my prolapse had improved and Paula provided me with a plan to get back to recovery and even improve my lifting!
