One of the most dreaded parts to having a baby... the first postpartum p**p. 💩 🤯

Listen to Dr. Gretchen's take on how to approach this hurdle in your postpartum experience.

We hear this all the time as pelvic PTs :

“I have tight hip flexors!” Or “I always have to stretch my psoas!”

When we test the length of the hip flexor (the pesky psoas), it’s not actually tight. It FEELS tight because it needs strength!!

When hip flexors are weak, it puts extra work on the muscles around it - like the diaphragm, lower back muscles to support the spine and the pelvic floor!

Sometimes the secret to tight hip flexors is strengthening it!

Diastasis recti isn’t just about a gap in your abs, it’s about how your entire system adapted during pregnancy.

And postpartum? None of that automatically snaps back into place.

When the diaphragm, abdominals, and pelvic floor aren’t working together, we see leaking, prolapse, pain with s*x, constipation, back and hip pain... sometimes months or even years later. That’s why kegels alone aren’t the answer, and why lying on the floor forever won’t prepare you to lift a 30-lb toddler.

Postpartum rehab isn’t about “bouncing back.”
It’s about rebuilding for real life.

And whether you’re 6 weeks postpartum or 16 years out, it is never too late to rehab.

And if one of them isn’t pulling their weight… everyone feels it. 😅

They’re meant to work as a team to manage pressure, support your spine, and keep you continent when you breathe, lift, laugh, sneeze, or move.

✨ Abs that only brace but don’t breathe?
✨ A diaphragm that doesn’t move well?
✨ A pelvic floor that’s too tight or too weak?

That’s how you end up with leaks, pain, back issues, or a core that feels “off” no matter how much you train.

Pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t about isolating one muscle... it’s about teaching the whole system to work together again.

Because group projects only work when everyone actually shows up. 💁

Constipation.
Bladder urgency.
Low back pain.

Most people are told these are separate problems, so they chase separate fixes.

But when we zoom out, there’s often one common thread: the pelvic floor.

Because the same muscles help control p*e, p**p, and support your spine, dysfunction can show up in ways that feel totally unrelated. And research backs this up, pelvic floor rehab is recommended as first-line treatment for leaking, constipation, and pelvic pain… not a last resort.

If you’ve been bouncing between providers with no real answers, you’re not broken, the dots just haven’t been connected yet.

Some people will sneeze, cross their legs, hold their breath, say a quick prayer…
…and still be like: “I don’t need pelvic floor PT.” 👀

If sneezing feels like a full-body survival event, that’s not just “getting older” or “normal after kids.”

That’s your pelvic floor asking for help.

✨ Leaking with sneezing, coughing, laughing, or jumping is common — but it’s not normal.
✨ And no, the solution isn’t just doing random kegels or hoping for the best.

Pelvic floor physical therapy teaches you how to coordinate, strengthen, or relax your pelvic floor so your body doesn’t panic every time pollen exists.

You don’t have to clench and pray forever.
We promise. 😌

Prolapse doesn’t happen because your body failed, and it’s not caused by childbirth alone. Vaginal birth is a risk factor, but also chronic coughing and chronic constipation causing strain to important fascial and ligament structures is what ultimately causes prolapse.

Pelvic floor weakness is not a causative factor, either! However, a weak pelvic floor CAN cause more stress to already stressed out fascial and ligament structures. The pelvic floor is designed to take the pressure off our ligaments - just like all muscles in our body are designed to reduce strain to our other tissues!

A diagnosis of prolapse is nothing to fear and surgery is not always needed.
At Break Free Pelvic Health, we can assess your tissues to determine if you will be successful with pelvic floor physical therapy alone. Sometimes surgery is needed. Sometimes vaginal estrogen is needed. And sometimes a pessary would be life changing! We help to strengthen the pelvic floor to take stress off your tissues, manage and treat constipation, teach you how to lift and cough with pelvic floor support, and more. If you need a pessary, we fit those too!

Education is empowerment. You deserve options and hope - we've got them here!

A weak stream isn’t just “getting older.”

Your pelvic floor plays a huge role in how easily and completely you p*e. When those muscles are tight, weak, or uncoordinated, flow can slow down, start-stop, or feel like way more effort than it should.

Men’s pelvic floor physical therapy helps restore strength and relaxation, so things work the way they’re supposed to again.

At Break Free, we see a large amount of male patients who have experienced great relief and improvement in their symptoms through pelvic floor physical therapy.
