Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation. That’s why trying to kegel with every rep or holding a kegel while you run or jump isn’t working to stop your leakage. Here’s where I’d focus instead👆🏼and where I focus with the women I work with. #pelvicfloorexercises #postpartumrecovery #

Stretches & internal pelvic floor release will temporarily release your tension but it won’t get to the root of why you have pain and symptoms in the first place. I’ve learned this the hard way myself after I hurt my back in 2023 and after dealing with chronic pelvic floor tension since I was a

There is already so much fear around pelvic floor symptoms & what you “should or shouldn’t do” to heal. But if your goal is to run, lift, jump, etc. a part of your rehab plan should be doing things in a safe way to build up your capacity to handle them symptom-free! Your rehab shouldn’t make

There’s something so freeing about doing hard things without worrying if your body & pelvic floor can keep up And nothing is better than helping my clients do just that🤍 #pelvicfloor #postpartumrecovery #womenshealth #prolapse

You’re told to not lift weights or run but no one told you that being inactive will decrease your body’s capacity in the long run. The answer isn’t to avoid stength training and impact but to build a better foundation, learn to manage pressure well & then challenge your body with those things i

Barely being able to hold it or leaking on your way to the bathroom is usually due to a combo of pelvic floor tension + bad bladder habits + nervous system dysregulation Finding the root of why your experiencing urgency by looking at your entire body & lifestyle is the way to go if you want to

never forget struggling with 8/10 back pain before my trip to Guatemala back in January. I couldn’t sit and was worried about being on airplane. I couldn’t walk without pain and was nervous about hiking to the top of a volcano. I didn’t know if I could carry my luggage through the airpor

Getting back to higher level things like hiking, running, jumping, lifting, etc. requires a plan to resolve your symptoms but also guide you on how to move so that your symptoms don’t come back. #pelvicfloor #postpartumrecovery #prolapse #incontinence

Just doing breathwork & kegels isn’t gonna cut it. Your body needs more. You deserve more. And if you want to be chasing your kids without heaviness, work out without worrying that you’re making your prolapse worse, go for a run for your mental health without feeling like a tampon is “falling ou

Tight hips = tight pelvic floor And a tight pelvic floor means that your muscles struggle to support you when you sneeze, run, jump, cough, etc. which can lead to bladder leakage. Your hips and pelvic floor are right next to each other and how one is functioning (or not functioning) directly

A prolapse diagnosis doesn’t mean you can’t lift or run again. It does mean that you have to address the underlying issues that are contributing to your symptoms so that you can heal and get back to running, lifting, etc. without symptoms or making it worse. A lot of women have no idea wher

99% of the time you don’t need to be adding a bunch of new exercises to your routine to overcome your pelvic floor symptoms!! Most of the women I work with are active & busy and have too much tension in their pelvic floor. In the past, when they tried doing a bunch of “pelvic floor exercises” th

Life gets a lot better when you take the risk. I always felt aligned with the career I chose but not the life it gave me. I wanted more for myself, more time with husband (and future kids) & to build something I was passionate about. Yes, it was scary to take a chance on myself and being an
