đźš˝ Toilet Posture 101 đźš˝

How you sit on the toilet matters more than you think — especially for your pelvic floor.

âś” Feet elevated on a stool
âś” Lean slightly forward
âś” Elbows resting on knees
âś” Belly relaxed (no sucking in!)

This position helps your pelvic floor relax and lengthen, making bowel movements easier and reducing strain. Less straining = less pressure on your pelvic floor, bladder, and core over time.

If you’re dealing with constipation, pelvic pressure, leaks, or pain, improving toilet posture is a simple but powerful place to start. Pelvic floor therapy helps you learn habits like this that protect your body long-term.

Save this for later and share with someone who needs it đź’›

Holiday constipation is no joke — but a few simple habits can make a big difference 🎄🚽

✨ Holiday Constipation Survival Tips:
💧 Stay hydrated — even when it’s cold outside, your gut still needs water
🚶‍♀️ Move daily — walking or gentle movement helps wake up digestion
⏰ Don’t ignore the urge — waiting makes stools harder and harder to pass
🌬️ Breathe, don’t strain — slow exhale on the toilet helps your pelvic floor relax

Constipation puts extra strain on your pelvic floor and can contribute to leaking, pressure, and pain — especially during the busy holiday season.
Pelvic floor therapy helps you learn healthier bathroom habits so your body doesn’t have to work overtime.

Save this for the holidays ✨

Trauma-informed pelvic care means you are in control. 🤍
What you say matters. What you’re comfortable with matters.
An initial pelvic floor exam is never one-size-fits-all—we explain every step, ask consent throughout, and can modify or pause at any time. This reel walks through what that first visit could look like, always centered on your comfort and safety.

Many people are living with symptoms they’ve been told are normal—or that they just have to tolerate. Leaking when you laugh or exercise, pelvic pain, painful s*x, tailbone pain, constant tension, difficulty fully emptying your bladder or bowels, or pressure and heaviness are often dismissed or covered with temporary fixes.
These are not things you have to live with. They’re common signs of pelvic floor dysfunction.
At Pelvic Care, we focus on finding the root cause, not relying on band-aid solutions—so you can feel more comfortable, confident, and supported in your body every day.

When you’re not connected to your pelvic floor, it’s a lot like holding Christmas lights that aren’t plugged in — the potential is there, but nothing is “lighting up” the way it should.
✨
Your pelvic floor plays a role in bladder control, core strength, posture, stability, digestion, intimacy, and more… so when that connection is dim, everything feels a little harder.
✨
Pelvic floor therapy helps you plug back in by teaching you how to feel your pelvic floor, relax it, engage it, and coordinate it with your core and breath.
✨
If you’re feeling “unplugged,” let’s change that. Your body is meant to feel supported and connected. ❤️

Holiday Baking Without the Pelvic Floor Aches 🍪✨
Before you dive into mixing, rolling, and decorating, set your body up for support:
🎄Feet hip-width apart
✨Unlock your knees—no stiff legs while you stir
🎄Pelvis in neutral to avoid extra pressure downward
✨Ribs unflared—keep them stacked over your hips
🎄Open your chest
✨Broad, relaxed shoulders

This simple alignment helps your core and pelvic floor work with you, not against you, so you can enjoy every cozy moment in the kitchen—pain-free and fully present.
Happy (and supported!) holiday baking 🎄🥧✨
