We often prioritize our homes, but not our own bodies.
We clean our gutters to prevent issues in the future.
We replace our shingles before the roof leaks.

But when it comes to healthcare, we put things off.
We hope the pain will just go away with time.
We tell ourselves we must have just "slept funny" or did a little too much.

But the truth is, you only get ONE body.
Yes, your home is important, but your body is too.
It's how you live your life to the fullest.
How you play with your kids or grandkids.
How you spend time with your family and friends.
How you move to relieve stress.

And the reality is the sooner you treat it, the easier it is to fix.

So next time, make your health a priority BEFORE it becomes a crisis.

Couldn't resist.

What a shock! 😲

Female adolescent athletes have a 48.5% incidence of stress urinary incontinence, while pregnant women have a rate of 41%.

Thinking back to when I was an adolescent athlete, no one ever asked me or talked about leaking or incontinence. Not during my sports physicals or annual visits. Not even during health class.

Urinary incontinence is something that is extremely common, but it is NOT "normal" and it shouldn't be ignored.
It is NOT something that you "just have to live with," regardless of your age or how long you have been struggling with it. Incontinence is something that is very FIXABLE!

But not if we don't address it!

So, let's start the conversation.

Despite popular belief, it is perfectly safe to lift/complete strength training during pregnancy. 💪
There are certain conditions that would restrict this, but for most mamas, it is recommended! EVEN IF you haven't done a strengthening program before!

Strength training reduces the risk of...
▪️gestational hypertension
▪️gestational diabetes
▪️pre-eclampsia
▪️perinatal mood disorders
▪️rates of c-section

Studies have actually found that women who lift LESS than 33 pounds during pregnancy are MORE likely to have symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse.

There are MANY myths surrounding exercise in pregnancy and postpartum.

When it comes to after delivery, every mama's journey is different, and there are things that need to be assessed and monitored before beginning an exercise routine. HOWEVER, in uncomplicated recoveries, some women can return to exercise within DAYS. This may not feel right for some, and that's okay too! A gradual and individualized approach is crucial.

It is important to know that studies have found NO negative effects/increased incidence of prolapse or urinary incontinence in women that resumed exercise BEFORE 6 weeks.
One of these studies even looked at women who chose to complete moderate intensity exercise within 2-3 weeks postpartum!

At Physio Strong, we don't want FEAR to be the limiting factor in exercise during pregnancy or postpartum. Dr. Brenna is striving to educate and EMPOWER this community.

🔍attention to detail
📖 continued learning and adapting
🤓 geeking out about research/new things
..And I guess the occasional forgetting to collect payment the day of 🤣

A step forward for women's health!
The sooner you address any issues, the better.
There are simple, gentle exercises that can and SHOULD be started as soon as possible after delivery that help with healing and addressing leaking/incontinence, prolapse, and diastasis recti.

This is your reminder that you WILL get back out there! 💪 And that once you find the SOURCE of your symptoms, it doesn't take long to get back to what you love.

2.5 weeks ago, I had so much sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain after a long run that I could hardly WALK.
Just strengthening wasn't enough for what was going on.
I figured out the CAUSE (and it WASN'T hormones/relaxin🤰 😆). And this week, I've done the elliptical and ran with minimal symptoms! 🏃‍♀️

I feel so grateful for what I do and the knowledge I have 😊

So what are you waiting for?
