🤰🏾There are many changes that happen to our bodies during pregnancy that don't magically fix themselves afterwards, and postural changes are no exception.
Instead of focusing just on the pelvis, take a look at the ribs!
Incorporate this into your exercise routine - find the posture first, make sure you can breathe with ease, then move with intention. You'll feel your core in a whole new way! 💪🏼

🤯 All of the above interact with one another.
Finding your ease of breath ( #1) optimizes the connection between your diaphragm, pelvic floor and core. You can assist with this by leaning forward ( #3) slightly - imagine you're running into a moderate headwind, or run up hills.
Ensuring rotation through your thorax and ribs ( #2) as you run ensures a more relaxed core ( #4) and prevents ab-gripping. If we're gripping our core, we aren't maximizing the diaphragm/pelvic floor connection and it prevents rotation (and increases pressure on the pelvic floor which can lead to a multitude of issues).
🏃🏼‍♀️If you're wanting to get back to running post surgery, postpartum, post injury, or you just want to make sure you're setting yourself up for success and injury prevention - let me know!

Prepare for labour with pelvic floor physiotherapy!
Labour prep really starts as soon as you start pelvic physio as building your connection and awareness with your pelvic floor is the first step.
However, specific labour prep sessions cover the topics listed here, among others.
Looking to prepare for labour? Book in with your local pelvic physio!

Short answer - False ❌.


Long answer - see below ⬇️:


✅ The main objective of pelvic floor physiotherapy is to get your core and pelvic floor to a place where they reflexively (for the most part) engage based on the demands of the task. 


For example: sitting on the couch vs. mowing the lawn vs. doing a 150lb back squat

💪🏼 Each of these require different levels of engagement/support/stabilization and we should have the awareness/connection to be able to adjust accordingly, as needed.


So, no, when you're going for a walk, don't engage your core and pelvic floor maximally the whole time - you won't be doing yourself any favours.
