Did your bra band size increase after being pregnant? Not your cup size, but the part of your bra that goes around your ribs.
Weird, right? Actually, no, it's not weird. It really happens. When you are pregnant, your ribs have to move to make room for that baby. Your posture also changes A LOT when you are pregnant.
After you have that baby, you have to teach your body how to get back to a normal posture and rib position. It doesn't just go back on it's own because our body responds to the stress applied to it. We keep a similar posture to when we are pregnant because we are holding that baby in front of us.
There is something you CAN do about this... pelvic floor physical therapy. That's right, we don't just work on your pelvic floor, we are also looking at your posture and your ribs. In fact, if you go to pelvic floor therapy and they have never looked at how you stand or never looked at how you breathe, you deserve to find a pelvic floor physical therapist who treats you like a whole person.
At Awaken Pelvic Therapy, we will always look at you as a whole person, because, well... you are a whole person. We also will look at your posture and your ribs. We will also look at how you move your body during your everyday tasks. Call or text us anytime to ask any questions or to set up an appointment. (810)656-9862
