Tailbone pain isn’t “just discomfort” in pregnancy 🤍

If your coccyx isn’t moving well, it can impact pelvic floor tension, baby’s positioning, and even how smoothly labor progresses. Your tailbone is meant to move during birth — restriction there can mean more pain and longer pushing.

Don’t ignore it. Assess it. Prepare it.
Pregnancy isn’t the time to push through pain — it’s the time to optimize. 💛

You were cleared at 6 weeks.

But no one asked:

Do you feel strong?
Do you feel connected to your core?
Do you trust your body again?

Because being cleared just means tissue healed.

It doesn’t mean your body is prepared to carry your baby for hours.
It doesn’t mean your pelvic floor can handle running.
It doesn’t mean your core knows how to create real strength again.

This is the gap most moms fall into.

Not injured.
But not optimal.

At Best Self, we don’t stop at “you’re fine.”

We guide you back to:

Strength.
Confidence.
Ownership of your body.

Because postpartum isn’t the end of your strength.

It can be the beginning of your strongest chapter.

Most people are taught to brace their core or contract their abs. What does that even mean?

But if your core isn’t coordinating well yet — especially after pregnancy — bracing can actually make things worse.

This is why every personal training package at Best Self Wellness includes a full physical therapy evaluation.

Because strength isn’t just about working harder.

It’s about working correctly.

DM CORE to learn more.

Most people think this is the finish line.

When the pain is gone.
When daily tasks feel “fine.”
When your provider says, you’re good.

But “fine” was never the goal.

Your body deserves more than just functioning.
It deserves to be strong.
Confident.
Capable.
Resilient.

Because motherhood, lifting, running, and life don’t live in the clinic.

They live here. → in the gym.

At Best Self Wellness, rehab is just the starting point.
Performance is where we’re headed.

✨ Stop settling for functional. Start training for optimal.

DM OPTIMAL if you’re ready to bridge the gap.

One of the biggest gaps in traditional care is this:

You’re told you’re “fine.”

But no one teaches you how to push.
No one teaches you how to recover.
No one teaches you how to trust your body again.

At Best Self Wellness, we don’t just look for problems.

We help you build confidence for:

Birth.
Recovery.
And everything after.

Because moms deserve more than “fine.”

They deserve to feel strong.

Copenhagen plank + suitcase carry = elite lateral chain strength.

Translation:
• Adductors
• Glute med
• Deep core
• Anti-rotation strength
• Pelvic stability

This isn’t “ab work.”
This is real-world strength.

If you want to feel stable running, lifting, chasing kids, or getting back to sport postpartum — train your sides.

Save this combo for your next lift day. 🔥

Hi! I cant even handle that many PT appts. But I make sure to go to a few. Why? Its my priority to feel my best version of myself. But yea, there are certain cases where it may take months of PT- severity matters and how much accountability you require is important. But the best way to figure out how many sessions you need is so individualized- so book that discovery call and lets figure it out together.
