It isn't just about getting 5/5 strength, being able to coordinate your pelvic floor with your movements or a getting certain range of motion.

It's about what those things allow you to do. It is about how you feel in your body and how you're able to live your life.

Your goals matter!

If 3 or more were true for you, it is very likely that you have an issue with your pelvic floor AND that Pelvic Floor PT can help you!

Thanks to Nicole and Jesse Cozean for creating the Cozean Pelvic Dysfunction Screening Protocol and making it easy to sort out who would benefit from Pelvic Floor PT!

This screening tool is fantastic to help people identify for themselves if they can benefit from PFPT. It is also a great tool for providers like primary care providers, gynecologists, and orthopedic physical therapists to use to see if a referral to a PFPT would be appropriate.

Give me a 👍 in the comments if this is helpful for you!

If you’re local to York, ME and are in need of Pelvic Floor PT, give me a shout!

During pregnancy there is often a want to do everything you can to support you and the baby. AND often a overwhelming amount of ways that this could happen and pressure to make it happen.

One sure way to help support you and baby is exercise. It helps to increase your blood flow and the blood flow to baby. It helps to keep your body strong as baby grows and readies you for all the lifting and carrying that will be soon to come!

Here is a quick breakdown of the guidelines from The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that answers the questions of, how often? how much? how hard can I go? what kind of exercise should I do?

Most important, pick something that you like! If it is something that you like, you’ll be more likely to be consistent with it. Walk... dance... run... yoga... lift...

And be ready to adjust as your body changes! Big changes happen on nearly a weekly basis, this means your exercises might look different every week and that is perfect!

Questions about what exercises are right for you?? Book an appointment with me or your local pelvic floor PT!

Early postpartum emphasize rest, getting to know your baby, and learning how to take care of your baby and yourself.

You and your body just went through a HUGE change! Your life just wildly and beautifully changed.

Sometimes there can be a feeling of pressure ... thanks crazy society and social media... to get back to activity, get back to your pre-baby body seemingly overnight. F THAT!

Sometimes there can be an antsy feeling and a want to move but a fear of not knowing how or when it is ok to move. I find this is especially common for moms who were very active prior to baby.

So first off, there is no rush and everyone will have their own unique timeline!

Start slow and listen to your body. Your body is an amazing communicator and sometimes we need to learn how to listen.

These are 3 signs that you may be trying to do too much too soon after baby ....

1- Increase or change in color of your postnatal bleeding.

2- Leaking p*e during an activity.

3- Feeling a sense of pressure or heaviness in your pelvic floor/pelvis.

These all tell us that your body wasn’t quite ready to manage the pressures that the activity was creating in your body at that time. This doesn’t mean you won’t ever be able to, it just means that it is not quite ready yet.

Feeling like you can’t do much of anything without those symptoms? Or feeling like you need more support to figure this all out?

No worries... I’ve got your back! As a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist I can help you sort out what exercises make sense for you now, how to support yourself now, and how to know when you’re ready to progress so you can work towards YOUR goals.

False. False. False.

The myth of needing a tight v@gin@ to have good s3x is not only false but harmful to many women... thanks patriarchy!

For starters... this puts penetrative s3x up on a pedestal that it does not need to be on. There are many ways for people to be intimate, to connect, to experience pleasure and pe*******on is just one of them.

Next up... if we are having penetrative s3x, what we really need is a responsive pelvic floor! We need our muscles to be able to relax and soften to allow for pe*******on whether that's with a p3n!s or a toy. If an org@sm happens, the muscles will quickly contract and relax a handful of times. If the muscles are too tense/tight to start with, they might not be able to contract and relax quite as well meaning less fun org@sms or difficulties org@asming at all.

Lastly (for now).... The goal of creating a tighter v@gin@ often means a combination of lots and lots of Kegels and often overactivity of the pelvic floor which can lead to incontinence and pain. NO THANKS!
