If you’ve been told prolapse means you need to 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫, 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞, 𝐨𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 “𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐬”—pause for a second.

Prolapse is rarely a pure weakness problem. More often, it’s a 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 + 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 problem.

When the tissues of the 𝐚𝐛𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧, 𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬, 𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐦 are tight or stuck, pressure has nowhere to go… so it moves 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝.

✨ These gentle releases help reduce pulling, pressure, and guarding—so the pelvic floor can actually respond and support you instead of bracing against you.

⚠️ And about 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲:
Skipping conservative care means skipping the root causes that often remain even after surgery.

Prolapse care should be:

✔️ Individualized
✔️ Whole-body
✔️ Pressure-smart—not effort-heavy

⚠️ Important: prolapse care is highly individual. These are foundational strategies—not one-size-fits-all fixes.

If you’re dealing with pelvic pressure, heaviness, prolapse symptoms, or core tension, don’t skip the diaphragm.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦.

If it’s tight or restricted, pressure can’t move up and out—so it goes down into the pelvic floor.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 👇
✨ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭:

• Use a soft ball (yoga ball, therapy ball)
• Place it just below your rib cage
• Let your body sink into the ball—no forcing
• Breathe slowly for 5 full minutes
• Inhale into the ribs and back
• Long, slow exhales to soften and melt tension

This isn’t about “core work.”

It’s about restoring movement, elasticity, and pressure balance.

When the diaphragm can move:
✔️ Pelvic floor gripping decreases
✔️ Downward pressure reduces
✔️ Breathing gets deeper
✔️ The core can support instead of brace
❌ Common mistake: rushing it.

Start here before strengthening.

🚨 𝟏 𝐢𝐧 𝟑 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞, 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡, 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡, 𝐨𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐦𝐩.

And no — it’s not because your body is “broken,” weak, or failing.

As an 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭, I need you to hear this clearly 👇

👉 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦.
👉 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦.
👉 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 “𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬” 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦.

Most leaking happens because the 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 isn’t working the way it should.

When you sneeze, pressure rapidly increases in the abdomen.

A healthy pelvic floor should:

• Lengthen 𝘴𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘭𝘺
• React 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘺
• Coordinate with the diaphragm and deep core
• Absorb and redirect force — not brace against it

But what do most women get told?

❌ “Do kegels.”
❌ “Tighten everything.”
❌ “Hold your core on.”

That actually makes things worse for many people.

Over-tension, poor timing, breath holding, scar tissue (C-section or vaginal), chronic stress, fascia restriction, and nervous system dysregulation all interfere with the pelvic floor’s ability to 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲.

So when you sneeze…

💥 Pressure spikes

🚫 The pelvic floor can’t adapt fast enough

➡️ Leakage happens

That doesn’t mean your pelvic floor is weak.
Often, it means it’s 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤, 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠, or 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐜.

Leaking is common.

🚫 It is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 something you should accept.
🚫 It is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 something pads will fix.
🚫 It is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 solved by doing 100 kegels a day.

With the right pelvic PT approach — one that addresses:

• Breath mechanics
• Fascial restrictions
• Whole-body alignment
• Nervous system regulation
• Coordination (not just strength)

✨ Control can be restored
✨ Confidence can come back
✨ Sneezing doesn’t have to be scary

Your body isn’t betraying you.

It’s communicating.

And when you listen — things change. 💞

If you were told to “hold your breath and push”… that’s outdated advice.

And it matters more than you think. 🚨

Yes—there are moments in labor that call for pushing.

But breath holding ≠ effective pushing.

When you hold your breath, you create a forced valsalva.

That pressure has nowhere to go except downward—straight into the pelvic floor.

The result?

🧠 Pelvic floor muscles that should lengthen are told to brace

▫️Fascia loses elasticity instead of supporting the load

▫️Nerves and connective tissue take the hit

⛔️ Coordination between diaphragm + pelvic floor shuts down

That’s not how the body was designed to push.

Effective pushing comes from pressure moving THROUGH the body, not being trapped in it.

The diaphragm, breath, abdomen, and pelvic floor are meant to work together—not in opposition.

There are safer, smarter ways to push that:

✨ Reduce pelvic floor trauma
✨ Decrease tearing and heaviness
✨ Support postpartum recovery

If no one explained how to push without destroying your pelvic floor—you weren’t failed by your body. You were failed by the cue.

Save this.

Because “hold your breath and push” should never be the default.

PSA: If your doctor says “everything looks normal” but you’re still in pain…

They’re not looking at your fascia.

And that’s often where the real issue lives 🧠

Fascia doesn’t show up on scans, but it holds unprocessed trauma, old injuries, and stress your body never fully released.

That’s why pain moves around.
Why one day it’s your hip, the next it’s your jaw.
Why everything feels connected—but no one can explain why.

Because it is connected. Through fascia.

This side-lying hip matrix trains the stabilizers most people never activate.

Start curled on your side, bottom hand pressing into the floor to unload the hip.

Small controlled top-hip lifts — 90 seconds for deep lateral strength.

Knee-to-knee → knee-to-foot taps to challenge rotational control.

Top leg extension with knee towards ceiling — small bend → big extend — 90 seconds for glute medius + lateral hip load.

This builds stability, control, and durable hip strength where generic drills don’t.

⚠️ If you have current hip pain, sharp pain, or a diagnosed hip condition, consult a clinician before trying this.

🚨For the person who says they don’t have time, or money:

Waiting isn’t free. ✨

It costs you:⬇️

• More appointments later

• Longer recovery timelines

• More missed workouts, workdays, and sleep

• More pads, liners, “just in case” clothes

• More stress, frustration, and mental load

That pelvic pain you’re managing?

The leaking you’re planning around?

The pressure you’re pretending isn’t there?

Those are already payments.

✨ Help exists ✨

Pelvic health PT / OT specialists help you address the root — not just cope with symptoms.

Early care is usually simpler, faster, and less expensive than waiting until things spiral.

You’re not saving money by waiting.

You’re just paying differently.

Stop waiting.

How you should feel.

Even now.

Even postpartum.

Calm doesn’t come after the house is quiet.

It happens inside the noise.

This is postpartum.

Resting in bed while your nervous system learns safety again…

and your kids remind you healing doesn’t pause life. 💛

Postpartum is forever doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.

It means your body changed for a reason —
your fascia, hormones, nervous system, bladder, core, identity… all rewired to keep humans alive.

And no one tells you how to live inside that body afterward.

You don’t “bounce back.”

You rebuild forward.

✨ Feeling regulated
✨ Feeling strong
✨ Feeling at home in your body again

That’s what postpartum should feel like.

And you don’t need silence, perfection, or more willpower to get there.
