Rethinking Vaginal Weights for Pelvic Floor Health

🛑 Vaginal Weights Aren’t Always the Solution 🛑

If you’re considering vaginal weights to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, let’s take a step back. While these tools can be helpful for some, they might not be the best option for every woman—especially during perimenopause or postpartum recovery.

🔑 Here’s Why:
For many women, pelvic floor weakness isn’t about lack of strength—it’s about too much tension in those muscles. Increased tightness or imbalance in the pelvic floor can cause:
• Muscle fatigue and weakness.
• Pain during intimacy or exercise.
• Bladder and bowel issues.

Adding more resistance (like vaginal weights) without addressing tightness and coordination can make the problem worse.

💡 What to Do Instead:
1️⃣ Start with a proper assessment: Work with a pelvic floor physical therapist to understand if tension or weakness is your issue.
2️⃣ Focus on relaxation first: Stretching, breathwork, and gentle yoga can help release tight pelvic floor muscles.
3️⃣ Learn proper engagement: Once tension is addressed, train your muscles to contract and relax fully.

✨ Remember: A strong pelvic floor isn’t just about clenching harder—it’s about balance and control.

I’m taking a little break from social and scaling back my clinic hours this summer to focus on some family things that have come up the past few months.
•
I’m hoping that by re-directing my energy to what’s the most important, the health and well being of my family, we will be able to overcome some recent hurdles.
•
I’ll try to continue to post in stories, and I hope you all will stick around till the Fall when I’ll be back to posting all things pelvic health and treating more regularly at Elevated PT.
•
I hope everyone has a lovely summer 😎.

DRY NEEDLING
•
Just a reminder that I offer dry needling sessions for all types of orthopedic injury and pain, not just pelvic floor!
•
Dry needling increases blood flow, improves pain and promotes healing.
•
Have a nagging pain that’s preventing you from doing what you love, or just making it more difficult? Schedule a dry needling session!
•
My website is linked in my bio and you can schedule from there.

This is from a client who could not activate her pelvic floor muscles and had been suffering from pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence.
•
I did dry needling to her pelvic floor muscles and 20 minutes later, we could both feel the activation of her muscles.
•
1 session and she had tremendous results. That could be you!

Happy New Year Everyone!
•
This year I’m thinking of my resolutions in terms of achievable baby steps. Taking each day as it comes and trying to take steps in the direction I want to go.
•
This year my resolution is to go with the flow with more grace. Life is always throwing stuff at us, and I know I need to be kinder to myself and offer more compassion to my family. As my 5 year old so brilliantly said the other day, “yes or no, just go with the flow.”
•
So here’s to 2023 🥂! Whatever you are wanting, just take that first step toward getting it!

Your cesarean scar is likely contributing to your low back pain! Swipe left to learn more!
•
If you have unresolved back pain and haven’t had your scar evaluated, run to your nearest pelvic floor therapist.
•
Look for someone skilled in visceral manipulation because the fascia, viscera, connective tissues and organs may be involved in your pain- it’s likely not just that your core muscles are weak.
•
If you had a cesarean birth and have low back pain, reach out to me. I’m trained in visceral manipulation, cupping, scar massage and postpartum rehabilitation and exercise. Together we can heal your scar from the outside in.
•
Low back pain is not the price you pay for being a mom. Get the treatment you deserve ❤️.

This year I’m thankful for my family, friends, and my community. I’m grateful to all of you who allowed me to be part of your healing journey this year.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Inspiring quotes from a Peloton ride
•
dropping truth bombs in the Lizzo ride.
•
Whatever it is you feel you want to do- elevating your career, elevating your fitness, elevating your health- decide to be ready.
•
And as it relates to pelvic health symptoms, if you feel like your pelvic floor and core aren’t working for you, stop waiting to get treatment. Make the decision and execute! I’m here to help.

Don’t let anyone tell you not to do abdominal strengthening during pregnancy. You can continue to strengthen you core, it just looks different.
•
This is a video of a client engaging her deep core ( transverse abdominus and pelvic floor muscles). This movement alone is a core exercise. It can also used with different movements from planks to overhead presses depending on your needs and stage of pregnancy.
•
Schedule a session with me if you want to else. More about how to work out safely and effectively in pregnancy.

Pelvic floor PT can treat the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse! The bladder, uterus and re**um can all prolapse, but it’s not the end of the world. You can do all the activities you want with the right rehab and movement strategies.
•
Don’t let you OBGYN tell you otherwise!
•
If you leak urine, feel heaviness, pressure, or like something is falling out of your vag, or feel like you are sitting on something golf ball like, DM me!

360 breathing, or breathing into your rib cage, belly and pelvic floor definitely needs to be a daily practice if your are pregnant, postpartum or suffering from pelvic floor issues? And it really should be a daily practice for everyone.
•
Why?
•
Because the diaphragm (which is the main muscle used for 360 breathing) is the driver of the pelvic floor muscles. If the diaphragm doesn’t go through a full range of motion, the pelvic floor muscles don’t either.
•
If the pelvic floor muscles don’t go through a full range of motion, then they don’t work properly. Just like your shoulder- if your shoulder can’t reach overhead it can’t function properly.
