Chronicly holding your p**p? đźš«đź’© It might be making your constipation worse.
Ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement trains your re**um to become less sensitive over time. When stool sits too long in the colon, more water is absorbed, making it harder, drier, and more difficult to pass. The result? Straining, incomplete emptying, pelvic floor tension, hemorrhoids, and worsening constipation.
As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I see this all the time. Healthy bowel habits are foundational for optimal pelvic floor function, core coordination, and digestive health.
🚽 Go when you feel the urge
🕒 Don’t “hold it” regularly
🪑 Use proper toilet posture (feet supported, slight forward lean)
💨 Breathe — don’t strain
If you struggle with chronic constipation, pelvic floor dysfunction, painful bowel movements, or incomplete emptying, pelvic PT can help retrain your muscles and restore normal bowel mechanics.

To be an expert in pelvic floor physical therapy, you have to be obsessed — and that’s a good thing.
Becoming a true pelvic floor physical therapist means earning a degree in Physical Therapy (DPT), completing hundreds of hours of continuing education in pelvic health, staying current with the latest research, gaining advanced certification, and attending advanced pelvic PT conferences
Expert care in pelvic floor rehabilitation goes far beyond entry-level training. Treating pelvic pain, postpartum recovery, incontinence, prolapse, and core dysfunction requires advanced clinical reasoning and specialized skills.
It’s good to be a nerd when it comes to your pelvic health. 🤓

Tummy time isn’t just for baby 👶 — it’s powerful postpartum core rehab for YOU too.
Try a prone prop (mini plank) position during tummy time to gently activate your deep core and support abdominal recovery after childbirth. While your baby is building head control and core strength, you can safely work on reconnecting to your abs and pelvic floor.
This is especially helpful for:
✔️ Postpartum core weakness
✔️ Diastasis recti recovery
✔️ Pelvic floor dysfunction
✔️ Low back pain after pregnancy
A strong, coordinated core = better healing, better function, and better long-term pelvic health.
✨ Pelvic PT is essential after birth — even if you “feel fine.” A trained pelvic floor physical therapist can guide safe postpartum exercise progression and help you rebuild strength the right way.

Pelvic pain isn’t just about muscles — even your waistband can make a difference.
For my male patients dealing with chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor tension, prostatitis symptoms, or testicular/groin pain, tight or rigid waistbands can increase abdominal pressure and irritate already sensitive pelvic floor muscles.
That’s why many of my patients have loved:
• Lululemon ABC Pants
• Vuori Optimist Elastic Waist Pants
• Vuori Aim Pant
These styles tend to have softer, non-constricting waistbands, better stretch, and less compression through the lower abdomen and pelvis — which can be helpful when managing male pelvic floor dysfunction.
This post is not sponsored — just sharing consistent feedback I hear in the clinic from men navigating pelvic pain.
If you’re dealing with:
✔️ Pelvic floor tightness
✔️ Chronic prostatitis / CPPS
✔️ Perineal pain
✔️ Pain with sitting
✔️ Post-vasectomy pain
✔️ Groin or lower abdominal discomfort
Small clothing adjustments can support your overall pelvic PT plan.
Comfort matters. Pressure matters. Your waistband matters.

Not all pelvic floor physical therapy is created equal. 👀
To properly treat pelvic floor dysfunction, a pelvic floor therapist must be trained in internal pelvic floor assessment and treatment.
Many clinics advertise pelvic PT but their clinicians may lack the advanced training and hands-on experience needed to treat conditions like pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse, or painful s*x.
True expert pelvic floor physical therapy requires years of post-graduate education beyond PT school. When choosing a provider, look for advanced certifications such as PRPC (Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification) or WCS (Women’s Health Clinical Specialist)—they matter.
✨ Your pelvic floor deserves specialized care.

✨ Massage guns: more than just a gym bro toy ✨
Dealing with achy muscles, stiffness, or that “everything feels tight” feeling? Percussion therapy can help by:
✔️ Increasing blood flow
✔️ Reducing muscle tension
✔️ Improving short-term mobility
✔️ Helping calm sensitive, overworked tissues
Used correctly, massage guns can be a great tool for managing everyday musculoskeletal pain and supporting recovery between workouts or long days at work đź’Ş
✨ Pro tip: More pressure ≠ better results. Start light, avoid bony areas, and think relaxation, not punishment.
Save this for later & share with someone who lives with sore muscles đź‘€

I’m so proud of this one.
If you need me, I’ll be laughing at my own joke forever.

Pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t just for one “type” of person — it’s for anyone with a pelvis 🙌
Pelvic PT can help if you’re experiencing:
✨ Urinary leakage (with exercise, sneezing, coughing, or urgency)
✨ Pelvic pain, whether you are male or female including pain with initmacy
✨ Pregnancy-related aches, pressure, or prep for birth
✨ Postpartum symptoms like core weakness, diastasis recti, or prolapse
✨ Chronic constipation or difficulty emptying
✨ Low back, hip, or sacroiliac joint pain
✨ Pain or dysfunction after surgery (C-section, hysterectomy, prostate surgery)
✨ Athletic performance issues, breath control, or core instability
✨ Menopause-related changes like dryness, pain, or bladder symptoms
✨ Endometriosis, PCOS, or chronic pelvic conditions
Pelvic floor PT focuses on how your muscles, breath, core, and nervous system work together — not just Kegels. Whether your muscles are too tight, too weak, or poorly coordinated, treatment is individualized to you.
If something “down there” doesn’t feel right, leaks, hurts, or just isn’t working the way it used to — you’re not alone, and help exists 💛

Your core is more than just abs—and your pelvic floor is a key player 👀
Pelvic floor therapy helps optimize true core function by training your pelvic floor, deep abdominals (transverse abdominis), diaphragm, and back muscles to work together. When this system is coordinated, you’ll notice better strength, stability, posture, and control—whether you’re lifting, running, breathing, or just moving through daily life.
If you’re dealing with back pain, leaking, pelvic pain, diastasis recti, pressure, or a weak core, crunches alone won’t fix it. Pelvic floor physical therapy addresses the root cause by improving muscle timing, breathing mechanics, and load management so your core supports you the way it’s meant to.
Strong doesn’t mean gripping. A functional core is responsive, supportive, and adaptable—and pelvic floor therapy helps you build exactly that.
