If you’re dealing with leaking, pelvic pain, or prolapse… your feet might actually be part of the problem. 👣

Most people think pelvic floor issues only come from pregnancy, core weakness, or hormones. But your feet and pelvic floor are deeply connected.

Every time you walk, your midfoot naturally rolls in and out (pronation and supination). This movement helps your pelvis rotate as you move forward.

When the midfoot moves well → the pelvis rotates normally → the pelvic floor can lengthen and contract the way it’s supposed to.

But when the midfoot is weak or stiff, the pelvis can’t rotate well. That means the pelvic floor is forced to grip, strain, or compensate, which can contribute to:�
• leaking with running or jumping�• pelvic pain�• heaviness or prolapse symptoms

This is why pelvic floor rehab isn’t just about Kegels. We have to look at the whole system, including your feet.

Mamas, runners, and active women — don’t skip foot strength. Your pelvic floor will thank you. 🙌

Girl... it's all connected. Starting with having a strong and mobile base of support at your feet. If your feet can't absorb shock whenever you run, jump, squat, etc., why do you think you feel it more in your knees, hips and pelvis? Not to mention the fascial and neural connections we have from the pelvis down to our toes. The feet matter just as much and should absolutely be a part of your plan of care🦶

Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation, it’s part of a pressure system that includes your diaphragm, deep core, and thoracic spine.

If your mid-back is stiff or weak, you can’t rotate, extend, or breathe well… and that directly impacts how you manage intra-abdominal pressure.

✨ Poor thoracic mobility = altered breathing mechanics
✨ Altered breathing = poor pressure regulation
✨ Poor pressure regulation = more strain on the linea alba, pelvic floor, and surrounding tissues

That’s why with diastasis recti, incontinence, or pelvic pain, we don’t just “do Kegels.” We restore rib mobility, rotation strength, postural endurance, and coordinated breathing.

When the thoracic spine moves well and is strong, the pelvic floor can respond reflexively the way it was designed to.

Mid-back mobility is foundational.

Prenatal preparation sessions are my favoriteeeee ❤️🤰🏼 pelvic floor PT many times is brushed off until postpartum, but the difference just a few prenatal sessions can make are astounding.

1. To help with aches and pains such as p***c symphysis dysfunction (SPD), round ligament pain, tailbone pain, pelvic pressure.
2. To coach you through different labor positions and how to effectively use your breath and body to push baby and reduce your risk of tearing. (Yes, we do practice pushes in office so you know exactly what to do!!!)
3. To educate you on different movements you can do while in labor based off of baby's position to keep things progressing.

If you're looking for additional support during pregnancy, I'd be happy to help you prepare for baby and most importantly set you up for a better postpartum recovery 🤱🏼

I wanted to do a reintroduction for all the new faces! My name is Dr. Olivia, I am a pelvic floor physical therapist based out of Christiansburg, VA. I work with women of all ages and all stages of life who are dealing with symptoms such as:

Helping you to better understand your body & your symptoms while reaching the goals you set are of the highest importance to me 🤝 I'm a little biased in my thinking that every single person could benefit from atleast 1 pelvic floor session in their lifetime to learn more!!!

A little about me:

3 stretches I give to pregnant patients who are needing some rib/side relief from baby crowding the lungs in that third trimester 😮‍💨

These lateral stretches open the ribs, diaphragm, and intercostal muscles. The goal with each is to breathe into the side that's being lengthened.

**this is not medical advice. seek out a provider to individualized care.
