Why Leaking Isn’t Just a “Normal” Part of Motherhood

Leaking with sneezing, laughing, running, or jumping is common after having kids — but common does not mean normal or something you have to live with.

Urinary leakage is a sign that your pelvic floor system needs support. It can happen because of:
• Muscle weakness
• Poor coordination (not timing contractions correctly)
• Too much tension
• Pressure management issues
• Nervous system stress

It’s not about “just doing more Kegels.”
And it’s not about pushing through or crossing your legs forever.

Your body isn’t broken — it’s communicating.

Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses the root cause, not just the symptom. We look at breathing, posture, strength, coordination, and how your body handles pressure during daily life.

You deserve to sneeze, laugh, and move without fear of leaking.

At Moving Like a Mother, we help women reconnect with their bodies, restore function, and feel confident again — at every stage of motherhood.

You don’t have to accept leaking as your new normal. 💛

✨ All I want for Christmas is to not feel like my organs are falling out. ✨
If you’ve ever felt heaviness, pressure, bulging, or the sensation that “something is falling out,” you’re not imagining it — and you’re definitely not alone. These are common symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse, and while it can feel scary, it is very manageable with the right support.

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help by focusing on:
⭐ Strengthening and coordinating the pelvic floor
⭐ Improving core + pressure management so daily activities feel easier
⭐ Reducing heaviness with posture and breathwork adjustments
⭐ Teaching strategies for lifting, exercise, and movement without worsening symptoms
⭐ Supporting tissue health and mobility
⭐ Building confidence in your body again

Prolapse doesn’t always mean surgery.
It doesn’t mean you can’t exercise.
It doesn’t mean your body is “failing.”

For many women, the right pelvic floor rehab can significantly reduce symptoms and help them return to the activities they love without fear.

At Moving Like a Mother, we guide you through personalized strategies to feel supported, strong, and in control again — no matter your stage of life. 💪🎄

✨ All I want for Christmas is pain-free intimacy. ✨
If s*x has been feeling painful, tense, or stressful, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Painful intimacy (dyspareunia) is incredibly common for women of all ages, whether or not you’ve had children. And the good news? It’s highly treatable.

Pelvic floor physical therapy helps address the root causes of painful s*x, including:
⭐ Pelvic floor muscle tightness or guarding
⭐ Difficulty relaxing during pe*******on
⭐ Vaginismus
⭐ Hormonal changes (peri/menopause, birth control, or cycle-related)
⭐ Pelvic or abdominal scar tissue
⭐ Past pain or fear creating a protective response
⭐ Chronic tension patterns affecting the hips, pelvis, or low back

Pain with intimacy often isn’t about “not trying hard enough” — it’s your body signaling that something needs care, support, and gentle retraining.

Through hands-on treatment, breathwork, relaxation techniques, nervous system calming, and education, pelvic floor therapy can help you feel safe, comfortable, and confident again.

You deserve pleasure without pain. ❤️✨
If you’re ready to start healing, Moving Like a Mother is here to help.

✨ And wow… doesn’t that hit hard?

The other day I was listening to a podcast that talked about how so many women—especially millennials—mistake survival mode for stability.
We react fast, hold everything together, function in chaos, and perform under pressure… and we’re really good at it.

But somewhere along the way, we stopped knowing how to turn it off.

When life finally has a moment of calm, it feels unfamiliar. Almost unsafe.
We treat rest like it’s suspicious.
We brace.
We wait for something to go wrong.

That constant “on edge” state doesn’t just live in our minds—it shows up in our bodies, especially the pelvic floor.

🌿 A chronically tense pelvic floor can lead to:
• Painful s*x
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• Constipation
• Urinary urgency or leakage
• Low back or hip pain
• Difficulty relaxing or fully taking a breath
• Feeling “on edge” physically even when you’re emotionally exhausted

Your pelvic floor is incredibly smart—it mirrors how safe or supported you feel. When your world runs on adrenaline, your muscles do too.

✨ Here’s the good news:
You can absolutely teach your body a new baseline.
You can soften without losing strength.
You can rest without guilt.
You can feel safe in your own body again.

At Moving Like a Mother, we help women reconnect with their pelvic floor, release stored tension, and build patterns that support real healing—not just survival.

If your body feels stuck in “fight-or-flight,” you’re not alone… and you don’t have to stay there.

✨ All I want for Christmas is a peaceful nervous system. ✨
If your body has been living in “fight or flight,” pelvic floor physical therapy can play a powerful role in helping you feel more grounded, calm, and connected again.

⭐ 1. Reduces Chronic Pain → Lowers Stress Response
Pelvic pain, low back pain, constipation, painful in*******se, and postpartum discomfort all activate the body’s threat system. When pain decreases, the brain stops sending out as much cortisol.

⭐ 2. Improves Breathing Patterns
The pelvic floor and diaphragm work as a team. PF therapy often retrains:
• Diaphragmatic breathing
• Rib mobility
• Relaxation of pelvic floor muscles
This shifts the body out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest.”

⭐ 3. Calms Muscle Tension & Overactivity
Many people with tight pelvic floors also experience jaw tension, shoulder tension, shallow breathing, or trouble relaxing. Release = reduced stress activation.

⭐ 4. Enhances Mind–Body Connection
Learning to feel and control the pelvic floor improves overall awareness, reducing stress hormones and supporting vagal tone.

⭐ 5. Improves Bladder, Bowel & Sexual Function
When these systems work better, your baseline stress naturally decreases.

⭐ 6. Encourages Nervous-System Friendly Tools
Pelvic floor therapy weaves in breathwork, mindfulness, mobility, and down-training — all shown to support lower cortisol and a calmer body.

At Moving Like a Mother, we’re here to help you reconnect, restore, and feel at ease again this season. 🌿✨

✨ All I want for Christmas is to sneeze without peeing my pants. ✨
If this hits a little too close to home… you’re in good company. So many women deal with leaking when they sneeze, laugh, run, or jump — but it’s not something you have to accept as your “new normal.”

At Moving Like a Mother, we help you understand why leakage happens (hint: it’s not just about a “weak” pelvic floor) and create a plan to retrain your core, improve pressure management, and restore real pelvic floor support.

Whether you’re newly postpartum or years out from birth, your body is absolutely capable of healing. And we’re here to help you get there. 🎄💪

Ready to feel confident through every sneeze this season? Send us a message to book your session!
