this is 6 months postpartum… My stomach is still stretched out and I’m okay with it. it’s a process and this is a chapter in the story.❤️ read my honest 6 mth postpartum reflections… (And swipe if you want to see the most handsome baby boy) 🔹At 6 mths I’m feeling kind of in a plateau…I want to be further ahead than where I am. It’s so fun to be back to the activities I love…but I’m not as fast or as strong as I was and I’m not always patient with the process. 🙃 ❓Does anyone else struggle with being patient with the process? I know change is happening but it’s slower than I’d like! If you want to join me in my journey of consistently showing up then keep reading⬇️ 🔹I’m starting to feel like the 6 mths of fatigue is catching up with me… I’m really trying to prioritize sleep but the reality is that I want to do the 5am workout but I also don’t get to bed ever before 10pm and I’m usually up once at night…so I just don’t get enough sleep and it catches up with me. I’m a HUGE believer in sleep but it’s just so hard to get it all in. ❓Is anyone else feeling the chronic fatigue of motherhood?!?😴 🔹My belly is holding onto more this time around …sweet baby boy stretched me out more than my girls! But I am focusing more on how I FEEL versus how I LOOK. I feel good…I feel strong and THAT is my focus.☺️ Mama friend, please don’t fall for the “bounce back” comparison trap. Change takes consistency! Please don’t believe the crap of “just do this one exercise!” or “eat this one food!” You don’t need a new fad diet or one new exercise. Instead, you need consistency with exercises that progressively build in a safe way. Want a FREE class of the strength exercises I’m prioritizing?!?

Top 5 tips for early postpartum recovery 🌸 It’s always a good idea to put a postpartum plan in place whilst you’re still pregnant and have it individualised by your pelvic floor physio. What are your top tips for early postpartum recovery? NOTE: there are more than 5 things you can do in this time but these are the most common tips. It is important to get individual advice from your pelvic floor physio 🤍 #centralcoastnsw #centralcoastphysio #centralcoastwomenshealth #centralcoastwellness #womenshealth #womenshealthaus #womenshealthphysio #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorphysio #pelvichealth #pelvichealthphysio #centralcoastmums #postpartum #postpartumexercise #postpartumpelvicfloor #postnatal #postnatalexercise #postpartumrecovery #postnatalrecovery
YOUR PELVIC FLOOR It’s not a floor at all. It’s a diaphragm of muscle consisting of 3 layers, acting as support for your pelvic organs! It’s not just a passive hammock either. These muscles can engage, relax, and lengthen. Strength is important, but so is the ability to let go of tension! Kegel that focus solely on engaging those muscles, and maybe only one part of those muscles, is not the answer to having a strong, functional pelvic floor. REGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOP APRIL 13 & 14 at @primephysiotherapy to learn more about how you can optimize your pelvic floor function and avoid peeing your pants!
Read my honest 5 month postpartum highs & lows… and swipe to see my first postpartum race highlights! 🔹5 mths in and I don’t think I’m quite used to having 3 kids yet…It’s a little bit of a circus🎪 I love having my girls and a baby but it’s still 3 different humans to keep alive! I realized the mental load I carry when I was packing clothes for all 3 of them for the vacation we’re headed on! I’m sure I’ve forgotten at least 5 things for each of us but we will make do 😅 🔹As I’ve been packing for a beach trip I’ve been surprised that a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes actually fit…but not completely how they used to.🤣 My belly is hanging on to more this time around. Can you relate?!? I’m trying not to compare this postpartum experience to my other 2. I think it’s crazy how you can do everything in pregnancy and postpartum the same but with multiple babies it just takes a larger toll on our bodies but that’s normal and okay! 🔹I’m so thankful that my body let me race my first 10k at 5 months postpartum! It has felt challenging to train properly because 3 kids is crazy 😂🤣 I have really been prioritizing my s postpartum strength and it has paid off! I’ve been so grateful that 1) the strength classes are short…no longer than 15-20 minutes so I can fit them in and 2) I can do them from home so I don’t have to load up the kids or drive anywhere! Want a FREE class of the strength exercises i’ve been doing?!?

I’m so proud of this client. She is absolutely amazing! And I can’t wait to see what she does next! 🫶 And here’s the thing, this was always on purpose. Every part of her recovery was step by step, on purpose, intentional and specific for working out the things I KNOW keep us stuck in the symptoms that take over ours lives. From getting g out of a gripping, glute clenching, rib flare, pelvic floor laxity or tightness, it’s everything we do in Strength + Restore to make sure you succeed. Strength + Restore is what takes my clients from 3 finger Diastasis and symptomatic prolapse to exercising without fear, symptoms and feeling confident and stronger than ever. Wondering if this is the place for you? Dm me CORE and we can chat. 💕 #postpartumworkouts #postpartumpelvicfloor #postpartumcore #postnatalworkout #postnatalcore #postnatalcoach #coreandpelvicfloor #momswhorun #momswhoworkout #mummytummy #mumtum #diastasisrectiworkout #abrehab
When I opened Strength + Restore, this client jumped in immediately. She wrote me: “Probably should have done this 5 years ago, but better late than never.” Honestly, it’s always better late than never. And leaking is one of those things that doesn’t just magically go away, unfortunately. But, it can be SO easy to move out of the discomfort - this client had massive change - in just a few, short weeks! This is the beauty of workouts that are meant to get you out of the poor breathing habits, right hips, the glute and ab gripping, the compensations that are causing the leaking… While also helping you get stronger! When you see the timeline for how quickly this mama went from feeling embarrassed because she couldn’t jump rope with her daughter without peeing herself… To being excited to about lifting weights and having the freedom to travel without panic-seeking the bathroom at every turn… And the confidence to play with her kids without worrying about leaking unexpectedly in literally 8 weeks! This is what Strength + Restore is all about. It’s workouts that work for you, and real goal realization. If you’re ready to see where you are in 8 weeks from now, dm me Core to chat and see if Strength + Restore is the right place for you. #postpartumexercise #postpartumprolapse #pelvicorganprolapse #pelvicorganprolapserecovery #coreandmore #coreandpelvicfloor #postpartumpelvicfloor #postnatalexercise #postnatalrecovery #postnatalrehab #postpartumfit #diastasisrectiworkout
💾Save this + follow for more core + pelvic floor workouts! 📌 A few fun things that I’ve been playing around with lately. 🔥Building trust, confidence and resilience with core and pelvic floor moves in your workout doesn’t need to look like lying on your back, kegels, and marching. 🔥 You know I love a good foundation, and you can’t out exercise your issues, but you need to progress and challenge your core and pelvic floor in ways that support their function. 🔥Dynamic strength + endurance and overloading are 🔑🔑🔑 to taking your core and pelvic floor workouts to the next level. 🔥Trust with dynamic eccentric loading - quick drops & catches w a focus on length for muscles that tend to clench and grip are also 🔑. This is always after learning to eccentrically load in a controlled (yes, foundational) level - like slower squats, split stance deadlifts, deadlifts, lunges, pushes and presses. To Do: 3x 10 squat w weight catches 3x 10 split stance deadlift w yielding drops + slow raises 3x 10 suitcase lunge w clean 3x 10 half kneeling shoulder press 2x 8 weighted hip mobility drills 2x 8 bear hover w weighted row 2x 8 frog hops w walk back *these are lighter sets, higher reps for endurance & higher heart rate based training Want to know how to add these into your workout? This is what we do inside Strength + Restore. A rock solid foundation so we can take it to the next level. And this little revamp that Strength + Restore is getting is… EPIC 🤤🤤🤤 Strength + Restore is what takes my clients from 3 finger Diastasis and symptomatic prolapse to exercising without fear, symptoms and feeling confident and stronger than ever.

Here’s my honest 4 month postpartum reflections… 🔹At 4 mths I’m feeling even better than I expected! I’m back to running and lifting and I’m currently training for 4 races this spring and summer! Its so fun to be back to what I love…coaching exercise classes and training for a half marathon!🏃♀️ I’m focusing on building back my speed and strength these next few months. If you want to join me then keep reading⬇️ 🔹I’m starting to feel a little more confident in my body… My belly is holding onto more this time around …sweet baby boy stretched me out more than my girls! But I am focusing more on how I FEEL versus how I LOOK. I feel good…I feel strong and THAT is my focus.☺️ 🔹I don’t weigh myself at home but I had an @inbodyusa scan at @studioqfitness and I’m almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I have no set time goal to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight but it was helpful to get an idea of where I’m at. ❓Do you pay attention to your postpartum weight? Share below👇🏼 Head to my stories if you want to hear more about my thoughts on postpartum weight loss… I could talk about this topic a LOT. It’s not my primary focus for myself and it’s not the primary focus for the Strong Core Mama PT rehab programs! What is the focus?

💾 Save this progression! (And follow for more PF 🫐 gold nuggets!) Kegels are great when you need to learn an isolated pelvic floor contraction. But most of us need more strength everywhere else to balance our pelvic floor strength, NOT a ton of isolated kegels. 🤫Probably not even kegels while you do these exercises… So why glutes?! Strong glutes take the load off of your back pelvic floor muscles. They hold you up from the back and power you forward when you walk. Weak glutes often look like clenching, which can cause PF tightness or gripping. Weak glutes can also look like a very ‘high lift’ and your pelvic tipped forward. This is stuck in length and your glutes can’t contract to tip your pelvis under. Both are not great for pelvic floor and core. Focusing on tap backs, hinging and step ups can work the whole range of your glutes, from lengthening to contracting. 🫐 This series is a progression! Work up to stepping into higher surfaces with control in your spine, core, and pelvis. 🚩And make sure you’re NOT bearing down! This can lead to pelvic floor tightness, belly bulging, leaking and prolapse. 🔥If you’re not ready to step onto higher surfaces, add weights to the lower step ups or hinges. Weights are 🔑 to growing your glutes, and I don’t mean puny ankle weights or 2lbs. Start those bigger weights 5, 8, 10, 15lb as soon as you can! Are you working your glutes well? Lmk if you’re adding these in! Glutes for pelvic floor and core support is a huge part of what makes Strength + Restore clients so successful at reaching their goals to get strong, stop leaking, heal Diastasis and keep the strength! If you’re looking for the best way to reach your postpartum goals (even 6 years postpartum), Strength + Restore is the place to be.

Meet the team at District Pelvic Health! Dr. Rachel Payne is a physical therapist, Pilates instructor, and the founder of DPH. Born out of her own struggles navigating care during infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, she set out to provide an individualistic approach the care she sees as NECESSARY for birthing people. . After a decade of experience as a physical therapist, Rachel was motivated to start District Pelvic Health after her own struggles navigating the medical system through infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum complications. She is a doctor of physical therapy, earning her DPT from the University of Miami in 2013. She began her career in outpatient orthopedics, laying a solid foundation for understanding how the body works as a system. After completing her comprehensive Pilates training through Polestar Pilates in 2017, she became the go-to ortho PT for pregnant and postpartum patients to work with in conjunction with their pelvic floor PT. While simultaneously struggling to get pregnant herself, Rachel began specialized obstetric physical therapy training in 2018, eventually doing internal pelvic floor training through Herman and Wallace. . Throughout fertility treatments and eventually pregnancy, she struggled to get recommendations for managing and preventing what felt like routine concerns from everyone except her own PT, wondering how people without her level of training must have felt. After the birth of her son in 2022 via an unplanned cesarean followed by complications that landed her back in the hospital, she was appalled at the lack of guidance and postpartum care provided. That same year she founded District Pelvic Health in an effort to give other pregnant and postpartum people better access to the treatment, education, and care they deserve. When not working with clients, she is busy chasing after her son William. #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloor #pelvicpt #pelvichealthphysio #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloordysfunction #pelvicfloorhealth #prenatalpelvicfloorhealth #postpartumpelvicfloor #postpartumphysio #postpartumpt

im going to be honest…life is crazy at 3 mths postpartum with baby # 3.😅 Here’s my very honest 12+ week postpartum reflections… 🔷my brain is still gone. I’m literally still searching for my husband’s christmas gift that is “hidden” in our house...please send help!🤣 i’m choosing to laugh at all the funny things I say and/or forget! Please tell me that I’m not the only one?!? 🔷i have been SO HAPPY doing run:walk ratios! I am so excited to have passed the Return to Run Checklist and to be doing my run:walk workouts either outside or on treadmill depending on the weather. it feels good to get back to running but its crazy how hard it feels even though i ran through pregnancy. i can tell that i have some work to do on my posture and mechanics with postpartum running. (this is one thing i talk about a lot in the Strong Running Mama because so many mama patients i treat in the PT clinic run in a pregnant posture in postpartum until they re-learn how to stack rib cage over pelvis.) 🔷i have to fight SO hard to find time to fit in my rehab and strength exercises. 15 mins of Strong Core Mama classes 3 times a week is typically all I can fit in. for me what typically works is doing it first thing before the kids are up (if Will doesnt keep me up at night) or I do right when my husband is off work and I need a 15 min break! sometimes this means that dinner is delayed but it is worth it for me to fit it in because I physically feel better and have less pain!🙌 ❓want a FREE class of the core classes i’ve been doing?!?

“There are places in the heart you don't even know exist until you love a child.” —Anne Lamott It’s shocking to realize that becoming a parent feels like adding a full-time life to your full-time life. You’re tired, new to all this & your body is in recovery. It’s a lot. All you really want is to snuggle baby and feel those new places you're discovering in your heart. So upgrading your relationship with TIME and REST and MOVEMENT is essential: 💛REST: When you need more (um, daily?!), try yoga nidra meditation. This sleep-based meditation is so easy, can be done with baby in arms, and delivers way more rest than the 25 minutes it takes. (Nurture founder & mom @jennidbm loves Rod Stryker's nidra on soundcloud -- it'll pop right up in a google search) 💛PERSPECTIVE: Your brain is always ruminating on *something.* Might as well make it something good. So when you catch yourself stressing over time, shift to asking time to best support you. That mindset calls in the wisdom of your highest self in a way that your tired-out daily-grind self just can’t see. 💛MOVE, and make it meaningful: Better alignment is healing, energizing, and always available. Ears over shoulders, shoulders over hips, hips over heels -- refining your alignment improves circulation & builds strength. Get support for these time-shifters in our next Mama Baby Postpartum Group -- with baby in 5 studio seesions, online at home with 4 pelvic floor bonus classes, and in community with other mamas. It’s a WIN WIN WIN! Join us Mondays at 10:30am starting Jan. 22. In 5 weeks, you'll gain a community of new moms, gentle movement, and a container of support for talking about all things postpartum, help with postpartum nourishment, and getting more out of the time you have for yourself. Info at www.nurturenashville.com/events or link in bio.
I’m not back to my pre-pregnancy weight. My stomach is stretched out and squishy. My daughter tried to call me “big belly mommy” like she did in pregnancy the other day.😅 But this is postpartum. I’m here to help normalize it. There’s a reason I did photos at 8 weeks postpartum (and it’s not just because of the cutest baby smiles ever,) it’s to show you the process. I don’t want to just do 8 mth postpartum photos and say “look at how I bounced back” bc this is a process. Early postpartum is a chapter in the story. So mama, please don’t fall for the new years “bounce back” schemes. Change takes consistency! Please please please don’t believe the crap of “just do this one exercise!” You don’t need a new fad or one new exercise. Instead, you need exercises that progressively build in a safe way.

An age old question that doesn’t necessarily have to do with age… What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse? 😳 Prolapse is common in women. In fact, 1 in 3 women will experience some form of pelvic floor dysfunction in her lifetime. So this isn’t just isolated to women who’ve had babies. The good news is that it can managed without surgery. I didn’t see it this way early on, but prolapse has been one of my biggest opportunities. It’s helped me heal a broken relationship with my body and help me help my clients do the same ❤️ Thats right, you can still do all of the things you love with a little help from my Fitness For Lady Parts Checklist Inside, you are going to learn how to: 🌸Find your best starting point to progress 🌸Work within your symptom threshold 🌸Progress intensity Want yours?

Wait, what?! 🤔 These are the most common things that we’ve been told about prolapse. As we continue to learn how the pelvic floor works, we begin to understand how to navigate symptoms when they creep up. So no, you don’t have to avoid lifting heavy things.

💁🏻♀️ When someone comes into my practice, I assess them from the top of their head to the bottom of their feet! Why? 🧍🏽♀️Because you may have pain in one area, but the body is all interconnected! 👀 That's why I won't just examine the source of your pain, but assess how your whole body is working together. ✍️ I will examine everything from your posture, to how your feet turn in or out, to your daily habits. 🚶🏾♀️Do you spend your days seated at a desk? Are you hunched over your phone? Spend the day on your feet? 🕵🏻♀️ I'm like a detective- because the point of pain is very often NOT the root of the pain. 📲 If you are experiencing pain in your pelvic area, it's time to reach out! 👍 Click the link in the bio to make your pelvic floor PT appointment today! 💜 Be sure to follow @nyptdawn for more pelvic floor physical therapy resources, tips, and education! . . . . #nyptdawn #dawnchimentopelvicfloorpt #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloorhealth #pelvicevaluation #pelvichealthcoach #pelvichealth #pelvicpainpt #pelvicfloormuscles #pelvicpt #postpartum #postpartumpelvicfloor #postpartumpelvichealth #postpartumpelvicpain
🤰🏽Every new mom deserves a pelvic floor evaluation after pregnancy and labor. 🗣️ Yes, every new mom. Even if you had a c-section instead of a v@ginal birth. 👏 No matter what type of labor you had, or how your pregnancy was, you deserve a pelvic floor evaluation. ❓ Why? 🩵 Because a pelvic floor physical therapist can help you with symptoms and pain that might otherwise be overlooked (or ignored) at your 6 week doctor's visit. 💦 Because you deserve to live your life without leaking every time you sneeze, cough, jump, or run! ❌ Because pain with s@x shouldn't be the new norm. 🙌 Because you deserve help for your pelvic floor symptoms and shouldn't have to "wait it out" for solutions that may never resolve on their own. 💁🏻♀️ Not sure where to get started? 💡 Begin here: www.dawnchimento.com and speak with a pelvic floor therapist today! 👉 Be sure to follow @nyptdawn for more pelvic floor PT resources, education, and information. *As a reminder, this page is for educational purposes and does not replace the recommendations from your doctor or medical care provider.* . . . . #nyptdawn #dawnchimentopelvicfloorpt #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloorhealth #pelvicevaluation #pelvichealthcoach #pelvichealth #pelvicpainpt #pelvicfloormuscles #pelvicpt #postpartum #postpartumpelvicfloor #postpartumpelvichealth #postpartumpelvicpain #kewgardens #flushingqueens #baysidequeens #newmoms #fourthtrimester
Ever been there? You're out with friends, sharing some laughs, and suddenly your bladder decides to join the party with a little sprinkle surprise. It happens to the best of us. 🎉 Here's why: 👉 Alcohol is an irritant to our bladder, and it can't wait to get rid of it. That's why we tend to visit the restroom more often when we have a drink. 👉 Laughter creates pressure in our abdomen, similar to what happens when we cough. Sometimes, our bodies don't handle this pressure well, and it pushes down on our bladder and pelvic floor, causing leakage. Can you fix this? Absolutely! But doing more Kegels might not be the only answer. What's most effective is working on the timing of your Kegel with a strong exhale, just like when you cough or laugh. Can you Kegel and let out a big HAH! at the same time? Give it a try! 🤯 Laugh away with confidence, my friends! 😄🎈 If you need MORE help, comment “Challenge,” and I will send you a message! #bladdercontrol #momfitlife #bladderincontinence #menopauserelief #pelvichealthphysio #incontinenceexercises #pelvicfloorstrengthening #postpartumpelvicfloor #lindsayontario #peeze #fitfam #healthylifestyle #pregnancy #postmenopause #bladderproblems
The good news is that BOTH types can be resolved, even though they have different causes.

Did you know your breath and your pelvic floor are connected? Imagine a piston where your diaphragm is the top and your pelvic floor is the bottom. Here’s how it works: . 💨 When you INHALE the piston goes down. This means your diaphragm flattens and descends and your pelvic floor lengthens. . 💨 When you EXHALE the piston goes up. This means your diaphragm rises and goes back to a dome shape and your pelvic floor lifts. . Why is this important? Because breathing is the absolute easiest way to influence your pelvic floor! It’s the first thing I give all my postpartum people to focus on. The way you breathe while you push during birth or having a bowel movement impacts your pelvic floor. Many pelvic floor dysfunctions such as leakage or escaping air with activities can be improved by changing a breath pattern because of these impacts on pressure management. . Curious to learn more or see how breathing may help you and your pelvic floor? Get assessed by a pelvic floor PT!

🧐 There are a lot of Pelvic Floor Myths out there, but here are out top 6 Pelvic Health Myths that need to be busted! 🚫 "Leaking is normal!" 👉Leaking shouldn't be ignored, no matter the amount. It only gets worse with time, but incontinence is treatable! 🚫"Kegels stop leaking and pelvic pain!" 👉Kegels are not one size fits all and, in fact, may not be right for you and your symptoms. Always speak with a Pelvic PT before beginning any type of pelvic floor exercise. 🚫 "Don't do ab workouts after giving birth! 👉WRONG! After your 6 week clearance visit, speak with a pelvic PT to discuss what type of ab training and strengthening your body needs! 🚫 "You will get your exact, pre-baby body back!" 👉There are so many unhelpful comparisons out there, telling you what your body should look like post-baby. But no one's journey is exactly the same. Honor your body through its recovery and know that it all takes time. 🚫 "All vulvas are the same!" 👉Your vulva is an individual, and your needs will be specific to you, as well! Speak to a pelvic expert to learn what is best for your body as you recover and strengthen. 🚫 "Pain during pregnancy is normal!" 👉It is common, but not normal! A pelvic PT will help you before, during, and after pregnancy. 🕰️ It is never too late to start pelvic floor therapy, but why wait?

😫 Do you experience pain from insertion? You aren't alone! Here are some possible causes: 🎈 Inflammation- caused by certain inflammatory skin conditions, as well as contact reactions from products or infections. Inflammation can also be caused from hormones, tight pelvic floor, and nerve factors which then leads to pain with insertion. 🤰🏼 Hormones- a lack of testosterone and estrogen at gland openings can cause pain. These hormones help with natural lubrication. During times of breastfeeding, postpartum, perimenopause, menopause, or even certain medications may decrease these hormones in your body which can cause pain with insertion. 🤸 Tight or Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles- can lead to irritation and burning of the nerve endings at the v@ginal opening. ⚡️ Nerves- irritated nerves or too many nerve endings in the tissue of the opening can cause pain. 😓 Are you suffering from this type of pain? It's time to speak with a pelvic floor PT!

💁🏼♀️ Barbie would go to pelvic floor therapy... We all saw Barbie 🎉 EXCITEDLY 🎉 announce she was ready to go to the gynecologist, so don't you think Barbie would do something about it if bladder issues were keeping her from having fun?! A few months back, some friends and I enjoyed some Barbie themed fun, including ROLLERSKATING 🛼 wow, did it bring back memories, and serve as a reminder that I am NOT in my twenties anymore 🫠 Sometimes when you are in your 20's and even early 30's you aren't thinking about pelvic health issues yet, but how about when you are in your mid 40's and want to do something to make you feel young again, like rollerskating? You sure notice then! 😅 I've hit a point in life where I want to be able to act silly and not care and when an opportunity for FUN with FRIENDS comes up, I don't want my bladder to keep me sitting down, literally! 💦 Taking better care of yourself younger and after babies pays off immediately 🙌 but future you will also be thankful when you want to be active in your 40's and 50's and beyond. So be like Barbie, and 🎉 GET EXCITED 🎉 to take care of YOU, all parts of you, including your Pelvic Floor! #barbiemovie #barbiecore #barbieworld #barbiethemeparty #adultrollerskating #barbieskates #PelvicFloorPT #pelvicfloor #postpartumpelvicfloor #BladderHealthMatters #bladderleakage #postpartumleaks #laughleakfree #pelvicfloorhealth #girlsdayout #stcharlesmom #momshavingfun #StCharlesIL
📌Save + Share📌 Leaking & Prolapse affect up to 70% of women. If you’re one of the many moms that experiences leaking and prolapse postpartum, you’re not alone. So how do you get back to having a resilient pelvic floor when you’re experiencing leaking or prolapse? First, this isn’t the first workout you’re doing. This is where you want to get to after you get some solid symptom free workouts under your belt (this is what we do in Strength + Restore fyi). Pls make sure you’ve got a solid base of intra abdominal pressure management, understand how your core + pelvic floor work, know how to lengthen glutes and have done some ribcage/diaphragm work. 🤌 Then we add in resiliency. 🔥 Start to learn how to land, catch yourself, load your pelvic floor quickly, with some force and with endurance (multiple times). And honestly, most women that I see are afraid to move and afraid to jump because of what might happen (like making things worse). But what if I told you, your pelvic floor likes to add these things in! That when we start training for resiliency, most women are surprised at how good it feel for there pelvic floor to train this way! Most of motherhood is quick responses, carrying kids, heavy sh$t, multitasking and being on your feet all the time. Imagine how good it feels to get through the day *without* symptoms, no back pain or heaviness, and no leaks. 👉If you are running or interested in starting running, start here! Running is a single leg sport, so there is a lot more than just living up that goes into it if you want to stead clear of injuries or avoid leaking and prolapse. But you need to be able to jump and land. Your pelvic floor needs to know how to land! This is what we do in Limitless! We build a resilient core and pelvic floor through strength training and pilates. Interested in learning more?

Close your eyes and take a moment to breathe in. 🌬️ What did you notice? Did your chest and shoulders rise up towards your ears? 🤔 Or did your belly or ribcage expand? 🤷♀️ Here's the scoop: When we breathe, our chest and shoulders should stay relaxed, NOT rise. Our ribcage SHOULD expand at the sides, and our stomach SHOULD push out as we inhale. It's all about proper breathing technique, and it can make a world of difference in your pelvic health! 👉 Want to learn more about the power of breath? DOWNLOAD MY FREE BLADDER LEAKS GUIDE!

📌SAVE + SHARE📌 Your pelvic floor loves when your glutes and hips are really strong. This workout can feel great as it works posture/ pelvis positioning, mobilizing the pelvic floor muscles, and strengthening of hamstrings and glutes in gravity neutral positions. It can feel very good working in a hips up or anti-gravity/ gravity neutral position, because it is easier to not bear down in these positions. But just be aware, it’s still possible to bear down here, so pay attention to how you’re creating intra abdominal pressure. To do: - wall bridge 2x 10 - internal rotation rock backs 2x 10 - hamstring bridge w ball under 1 foot 2x 10 ea side - hamstring bridge w hamstring shakes 🔥 2x 10 ea side - glute kick backs 2x 10 ea side - side donkey kicks 2x 10 ea side Note: Resolving Pelvic floor issues and prolapse symptoms is a whole plethora of things, including really good breathing, understanding your symptoms, learning good pressure management, release and/or engagement techniques, ALONG with needing to get really freaking strong. This is doable. This is what we do in Strength + Restore. Looking for a class that helps you learn all these things? Comment STRENGTH and I’ll send you a free class directly from Strength + Restore! Want to dive right into your healing journey and feel symptoms free soon? Strength + Restore is a full support program that has helped moms stop leaking, resolve prolapse, heal diastasis and get back to doing all the things without chronic back pain.

Postpartum Pelvic Floor PT ❤️ What should you expect? . Pelvic floor PT has better viability than ever. Maybe you’ve heard you should see a pelvic floor PT postpartum but have no clue what that actually means. Let’s clear it up! . Whether meeting in the clinic or in your home, we’ll start by talking. A thorough and frank discussion of your medical history, pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum period and goals is essential for guiding our exam and treatment. Literally nothing is TMI - be prepared to talk pee, poo, and s3x. . Next comes a physical assessment. We’ll look at posture, functional movements, extremity strength, mobility of your spine and extremities, assess abdominals, check on DR, and more specific tests and measures depending on your complaints and goals. We’ll also assess the cesarean scar if that applies. . After our thorough orthopedic assessment we want to assess the pelvic floor directly. Gold standard is an internal evaluation using the PTs hand to determine strength, coordination, endurance and tone. But if you don’t want to do an internal assessment we can get a lot of information externally, even while staying fully clothed! .

Hey mummys! One question I often get asked is, "How soon can I get my pelvic floor checked after giving birth?" The answer: It's never too early to prioritize your pelvic health! While every woman's postpartum journey is unique, here are some general guidelines: 👶 Immediate Postpartum: Right after birth, your healthcare provider will monitor your pelvic floor for any immediate concerns, like tears or muscle fatigue. This is an essential first step in your pelvic health journey. 🌼 4-6 Weeks: It's typically recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks postpartum before scheduling a more comprehensive pelvic floor assessment. Your body needs time to heal, and this period allows you to adjust to your new routines. 🩺 Consult a Specialist: If you're experiencing discomfort, pain, incontinence, or other pelvic issues, don't hesitate to reach out to a pelvic health physiotherapist. Danielle & her team can provide tailored guidance and exercises to aid your recovery. Remember, every woman's body heals differently, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Listen to your body, and don't be afraid to seek help when needed.

📌Save these! 🌶️Also, these are more beginner-intermediate. Your ability to keep a good ribcage/pelvis stack is going to be key! Deep core is a great stabilizer and it acts like a corset between the ribs and pelvis. Through these moves think of maintaining control between ribs and pelvis as your guideline to having deep core working well. Check for any signs of low belly pouching or bread loading and back of the intensity or amount of reps until you feel like you’ve got control to keep firming and flattening. Through all of these exercises start with a great inhale into your side and back ribs, as you exhale think of a good ‘zip’ from the bottom of your abdominals and up. Once you feel you’ve engaged your abs, then start moving. 1. Plié bridge 12 x 2-3 sets 2. Kneeling lean backs 8-12 x 2-3 sets 3. Kneeling lean backs w weighted reach 8-12 x 2-3 sets 4.
