What to expect during a pelvic floor physical therapy initial evaluation!! ⬇️ ✨So many people have no clue what to expect when starting pelvic floor therapy ✨We ALWAYS start by talking about what it is you are coming in for! ✨Then we assess the area around the pelvic floor externally. This includes hip strength, hip range of motion, low back range of motion, diastasis recti check, scar mobility, and more. ✨Then, if the patient is comfortable with it, we do the internal exam next. This is all done with ONE FINGER ONLY and assessing for pelvic floor muscle tone (tight or lax), pelvic floor muscle strength (kegel), and we can also assess for prolapse. ✨The final step is to go over all the findings from the internal and external exams and make a plan going forward to solve the problems you are having for the long-term 💪 Thank you to Priscilla from Stronger for helping film this content. We think it’s so important to help other women understand what pelvic floor therapy is and get the help they deserve 💜 Follow me to learn more and work with me to solve your problem!

Exercises I did during my first trimester (part 2 of 2) ✨I was noticing pain in the front of my pelvis during a long car ride home to attend a bridal shower. This pain can sometimes be called “lightning crotch” ✨I was surprised by this because my baby is not big enough to put physical pressure on the area, the joint was hurting because of hormonal effects. ✨Copenhagen planks are great for this to help stabilize the joint. I will certainly get them in while my body can still do this! Follow me to learn more and work with me to solve your problem!

Cupping your stomach for pelvic floor issues! ✨Mobilize C-section scars to reduce pain and tightness ✨Decrease urgency. The abdominal fascia and pelvic floor fascia are closely related, and if they are tight it can increase urgency and frequency of urination. ✨Help your abs come back together for diastasis recti. The abs need freedom to move back together after pregnancy, this will help to allow that. Follow me to learn more and work with me to solve your problem!

Exercises I did during my first trimester (part 1): ✨When you’re feeling nauseous, you don’t have the best posture. You’re just not feeling good. ✨I noticed because of this I was hunching more all the time and my back was getting really tight. ✨I made the foam roller my best friend and am definitely feeling better now!

Exercises for 0-6 weeks postpartum: ✨Abdominal contraction/engagement: get your abs active again by pulling them up and in during your exhale. Remember to tighten the muscles, not just suck in your stomach. ✨Sidelying rotation is great to help stretch out the back gently. The back easily becomes tight from caring for baby! ✨Roll a lacrosse ball on your low back and any other area of your body that is sore including the shoulder blades and hips.

Birth prep advice!!! From a pelvic floor physical therapist ⬇️ ✨Perineal stretching: this is a great way to help relax the pelvic floor muscles. When you give birth, the job of these muscles is to relax and get out of the way. It’s good to practice this ahead of time! ✨Child’s pose: this is a great position to relax the pelvic floor and pregnancy friendly. Deep breathe into the pelvic region during this exercise and focus on full body relaxation. Follow me to learn more and work with me to solve your problem!
