Just like the seasons change... so does your pelvic floor. 🍂

And that’s normal.
But “normal” doesn’t always mean easy — or something you should just live with.

Your pelvic floor is meant to adapt through life. It can change with:
👶 Pregnancy + birth (vaginal and C-section)
🍼 Postpartum recovery (whether 6 weeks or 6 years ago)
🌡️ Perimenopause + menopause (hello, hormonal shifts)
📆 Aging + muscle loss
💥 Chronic stress, trauma, surgery
🏃‍♀️ High-impact activity, heavy lifting, or years of athletic wear
💻 Long periods of sitting or posture changes
🧠 Neurological or pain conditions (like endo, IC, etc.)

• Constipation or difficulty emptying fully
• Core instability or back/hip pain
• Feeling “disconnected” from your body

➡️ The good news?
You don’t have to just accept those changes.
Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you understand what’s going on — and what to do about it.

We’re here to offer education, options, and real support — not shame or quick fixes.

No matter what season of life you’re in, we’re here for it. 🤍

Standing March with Overhead Weight 🏋️‍♀️
A powerful move to train core stability, hip control, and shoulder strength — and when done right, it can also help support your pelvic floor. Here’s how to get the most out of it 👇

Hold a weight overhead, stacked directly above your shoulders

Slightly shrug to stabilize your shoulder blades

Pull your ribs down toward your hip pointers

Draw your hip pointers up toward your ribs to stay stacked

Avoid rib flare or arching your lower back

Begin a slow, controlled march, lifting one knee at a time

As you shift your weight, keep your hip stacked over your foot

Don’t let the hip sag — suck the hip into the socket

Press the standing foot down to stay strong and centered

Keep ribs, hips, and shoulders stacked and aligned throughout

Why it matters:
✅ A stable, well-aligned core reduces pressure on the pelvic floor
✅ Poor form can lead to downward pressure and pelvic floor strain
✅ Good alignment = strength that supports from the inside out

Pelvic floor physical therapy can be incredibly helpful for women who have had a C-section. Here's how it can support recovery:

🟩Scar Tissue Mobilization: After a C-section, scar tissue can form around the incision. Pelvic floor PT can help with scar tissue release, improving mobility and reducing discomfort around the area.

🟩Core Strengthening: A C-section affects the abdominal muscles and core stability. PT helps rebuild strength in the pelvic floor and core muscles to improve posture, reduce back pain, and enhance overall function.

🟩Pelvic Floor Rehab: Even though a C-section doesn’t involve vaginal delivery, the pelvic floor muscles still undergo stress during pregnancy. PT helps address any pelvic floor dysfunction, like urinary incontinence or pelvic pressure.

🟩Breathing & Relaxation Techniques: Post-surgery, it’s important to regain control of your breathing and relaxation techniques to promote healing and reduce tension in the pelvic area.

🟩Prevention of Future Issues: Pelvic floor PT can help prevent long-term problems such as pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence by ensuring proper muscle function and alignment post-surgery.

Your 4th trimester is just as important as the first three, yet it often gets overlooked. It’s a time to heal, rest, and nurture yourself just as much as you’ve been nurturing your little one. Remember, you deserve care, too! 💖 Here are a few tips for mamas navigating this precious time:

💖Move Your Body Gently: Start with light stretching or short walks to help your body recover and reconnect with yourself.
💖Pelvic Floor Therapy: It’s essential for both physical and emotional recovery after birth. A pelvic floor therapist can help with strength, healing, and preventing long-term issues.
💖Stay Hydrated & Nourished: Drink plenty of water and eat nourishing foods to support your body as it recovers.
💖Take Time for Yourself: Even a few minutes of quiet time or a walk outside can make a big difference in your mental health.
💖Ask for Emotional Support: The 4th trimester can bring up a range of emotions. Talk to a therapist or trusted friend to process your feelings.

Remember, this time is about you, too. You are healing, and your well-being matters! 💕

Myth: Pelvic floor therapy is only for older women.

While it's true that older adults may benefit from pelvic floor therapy due to menopause, childbirth, and aging, the reality is pelvic floor issues can affect anyone, at any age.

Pelvic floor therapy is for: ✨ New moms recovering after childbirth ✨ Active individuals dealing with pelvic pain or discomfort ✨ Younger women experiencing incontinence or bladder control issues ✨ Those with pelvic floor dysfunction caused by stress or injury.

This is a short list of symptoms anyone can experience at any age, but if you feel like you may be struggling with your pelvic floor health, don't hesitate to reach out! DM us to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions!

Pregnancy does bring a lot of changes like muscle imbalance, hormonal changes, postural changes, increased weight, and pressure that can cause pelvic girdle pain, but PGP is not exclusive to pregnancy.

Muscle Imbalances can also happen without being pregnant. Weak or tight muscles in the pelvic area, lower back, or hips can create an imbalance, leading to strain and discomfort in the pelvic girdle.

Postural Issues can happen to anyone. Poor posture, whether from sitting or standing for long periods, can put stress on the pelvic region.

Injury from a fall, car accident, or other injuries to the pelvis, hips, or lower back can lead to PGP. The trauma from these injuries may affect the pelvic joints, muscles, and ligaments, causing pain.

Past Trauma, whether emotional or physical can contribute to muscle tension, chronic pain, and even changes in how the body moves. This can affect pelvic health, particularly when the body responds to stress with tightness in the pelvic floor muscles or altered posture.

If you feel like you are struggling with PGP whether you are pregnant or not, we are here to help you! DM us to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions!
