Moms! I was just showing a client these today!

I LOVE these tools for putting shoes and socks on. Yeah I know “slides” are easier…but this is so much healthier for your mama bod!⁣

Slides and flippy floppies make you crunch your toes-that can cause pelvic tension and more! 🦶🏼🦶🏼

We want the pelvic floor not to have ANY excuse to tense up before birth!
⁣
Mama you can sit down comfortably and put socks on with the sock aide & shoes with an adaptive long shoe horn…pain free!!⁣

Baby wearing moms ask us how to baby improve their posture all the time-now we are seeing it in moms that wear weighted vest too!

Instead of tucking your butt under or sucking in your belly, try this:

✔️ Shift your hips slightly back
✔️ Lengthen tall through your body

This naturally stacks your ribs over your pelvis without forcing it

No belly-sucking needed. Holding your tummy tight while walking only creates more pressure on your core and pelvic floor…and can cause a mommy pooch from pressure.

Instead hips back + lengthened spine helping you and baby feel supported!

Moms-I have a stretched out mama belly from my 5 babies which can make it a bit tougher to really feel for diastasis recti.

So I wanted to share how to assess for a belly you commonly won’t see here on instagram.

Most moms are taught to “just check your gap” by pressing down into your belly button. Even medical providers will look at the belly this way.

But that only tells you part of the story.

Diastasis isn’t only about the width of the separation — it’s also about the depth and how well your core can create tension.

✔️ A proper check looks at both.
✔️ Also in PT we are looking at dooming in the midline, rib alignment/flares, tension of the re**us bellies, re**us belly that stays within its boney landmarks, and more!
✔️ When done right, it helps guide your recovery and exercises safely.

✨ You don’t have to guess about your core. There’s a better way.

Having a hard time feeling the re**us borders in some moms is common. This can be from a lack of tension OR good tension in the midline. Hint: Sometimes having some mama pooch can give the illusion of a bigger diastasis recti.

If this is you comment below so our team can help you learn how your body works, and help you feel confident in a program that works for you!
