April is c-section awareness month and I want to talk about how pelvic floor therapy can help mamas after c-section.

⚡️having a c-section doesn’t mean you can’t have pelvic floor issues.

Your body still went through an entire pregnancy.

If you had an emergency c-section, you may have gone into active labor, which could affect your pelvic floor.

Pelvic floor therapists are specialists trained to help heal abdominal and pelvic floor issues after pregnancy.

This is one way to start to help heal your c-section scar early on.

Wait until it is fully closed before you start moving it.

You can get more instructions in my online c-section recovery course available on my website.

Need more help? See me or another pelvic therapist virtually or in person.

Thread the needle exercise gets the spine, scar and abdominal muslces moving in a different direction.

It’s great for all the same reasons as the previous two exercises.

Cat-cow is a great exercise because whatever movements get the spine moving will also help get the scar more mobile.

This isn’t something I start with too early postpartum because to have the belly facing down is a lot of pressure on the abdominal muscles. They need some time to recover before I like this position (that amount of time varies person to person depending on their recovery).

If you have tailbone pain with sitting a special cushion might help you feel better.

People always ask me, which one is the best?

There is no “best” cushion, because it depends on which feels best for you.

Often people are given a cushion with a cut out, like the donut cushion, but not everyone likes that.

The first cushion is a gel cushion and a lot of people think that is the most comfortable.

Generally, the more you weigh, the firmer the cushion you might like.

For people who don’t weigh a lot, the firmer cushion is going to feel too hard.

And visa versa, if you weigh more, the thinner cushions probably won’t give enough support to offload your tailbone.

You might have to try a few different options to find one that works for you, but a cushion can definitely give you more comfort sitting if you have tailbone pain.

Jumping jack alternatives part 3/3.

Try doing box jumps.

Even on a higher surface this can often feel more comfortable on the pelvic floor than jumping jacks.

It’s ok to challenge yourself, but you don’t have to put yourself at risk of embarrassment or discomfort.

There are lots of alternatives to jumping jacks, and these videso show some of the different options.

Another alternative for jumping jacks is to jump onto something.

This often still feels more comfortable than jumping jacks, but it is harder than just step ups.

It’s a way to practice jumping and keep your heart rate up that is less stressful on your pelvic floor.

Follow along because I have more alternatives for you.

If jumping jacks aren’t comfortable, try doing step ups.

Often in an exercise program jumping jacks are used to burn calories and get your heart rate up.

If that is the goal, then let’s substitute something that doesn’t bother your pelvic floor but can keep your heart rate up.

Step ups are a good alternative.

What other exercises do you think would be a good alternative?

Follow along, because I’ll share some of my other favorites.

Are you afraid to do jumping jacks because of
💦 bladder leakage
🪨 pelvic heaviness

Is the only alternative you’ve been given to do the motion without jumping?

I look bored when I’m doing that part because it is boring.

There are lots of alternatives I give to my clients.

One to try is squat jumps, or jumping in place.

This is often a better alternative because the pelvic floor isn’t so wide open and vulnerable.

Follow along because I have other alternatives in my next videos.

There is no perfect posture and if there is one, it isn’t sustainable to hold one perfect posture all day.

Posture is not the most important thing to me, but sometimes it is a factor in addressing pelvic floor muscle strength.

Instead of trying to get people to maintain a perfect posture I try to address the strength and stretching of the muscles to allow them to maintain a better posture.

🎙️You have to turn the sound on for this one! 🎙️

The last part is a joke, your pelvic organs are NOT going to fall out from jumping this way.

It takes A LOT to make your pelvic organs fall out, exercise is not going to do it.

In all seriousness though a soft, quiet landing will decrease pressure on your pelvic floor muscles and pelvic organs.

It’s also easier on your knees and ankles.

See a pelvic floor therapist to learn to exercise without bladder leakage, pelvic pain or making your prolapse worse.
