The 6-week check is a starting line, not a finish line. ⁠
⁠
Most women walk out of that appointment with a green light and zero idea what to actually do next. No guidance on returning to exercise, no one asking if s*x feels painful, no one checking if your core is actually functioning. ⁠
⁠
You're cleared on paper. That doesn't mean your body is ready. If you're postpartum and something still feels off, trust that instinct. There is so much more available to you than "you look great, see you next year." ⁠
⁠
Drop a comment below if your 6-week clearance felt a little... incomplete.⁠

Prolapse is one of the most frightening words a woman can hear in an exam room. And in most cases, it's delivered without nearly enough context. ⁠
⁠
Many women with prolapse are completely asymptomatic. Many go on to run, lift, have s*x, and live without restriction. Your diagnosis doesn't determine your outcome. ⁠
⁠
Your care plan does. If no one took the time to walk you through what your options actually are, I'm here for that conversation.⁠

The number of women I see who've been grinding through core exercises postpartum with zero results is staggering. ⁠
⁠
It's not that they're not working hard enough. It's that their system isn't connected. The pelvic floor, the diaphragm, and the deep abdominals all need to talk to each other before they can work together. ⁠
⁠
When one is offline, the rest compensate. That's when you feel like your core just doesn't work anymore. It does. It just needs to be retaught how.⁠

Muscle loss in perimenopause isn't just about aesthetics. Estrogen helps regulate muscle protein synthesis. ⁠
⁠
As it declines, your body becomes less efficient at building and maintaining muscle even when you're training consistently. This has downstream effects on your metabolism, your bone density, and your pelvic floor. ⁠
⁠
Strength training in midlife isn't optional. And neither is understanding why your body is changing.⁠
⁠

Postpartum s*x pain is one of the most common things I treat, and one of the least talked about. ⁠
⁠
Women are told their body just needs time. They push through it. They stop bringing it up because they feel embarrassed. ⁠
⁠
And they assume this is just who they are now. It's not. There are real reasons this happens, and there are real solutions. ⁠
⁠
If this is your experience, you deserve more than a "give it time."⁠

Leaking during a run isn't your bladder being weak. It's a pressure management issue. ⁠
⁠
Your pelvic floor isn't coordinating with your breath and your load, and that's something that can actually be fixed. Not managed. Fixed. You don't have to modify every workout for the rest of your life. ⁠
⁠
Save this and share it with someone who needs to hear it.⁠

You don't have to modify every workout for the rest of your life. Leaking during exercise is a pelvic floor coordination issue, and it responds to real treatment. ⁠
⁠
Comment "RUN" below and I'll point you in the right direction.⁠

Estrogen does a lot more than regulate your cycle. It keeps your pelvic tissues supple, your collagen strong, and your muscles responsive. ⁠
⁠
When it starts to decline, you can start to notice leaking more, discomfort more, changes in sensation. ⁠
⁠
This isn't inevitable decline. This is a phase your body needs specific support for. Understanding what's happening is the first step to doing something about it.⁠

If you’re leaking with impact, this might be missing 👇
Your adductors work alongside your pelvic floor to support your pelvis and manage pressure. When they’re undertrained, the pelvic floor takes on too much load — increasing stress incontinence.

Strengthening them = better support, less strain, and improved control.

Peeing your pants with any type of exercise is NOT normal. The good news is, it’s very treatable with the help of pelvic PT, so you don’t have to just live with it.

Here are 3 ways to decrease leaking with jumping right now:

1️⃣ Stack your rib cage over your pelvis ➡️ if you are bent forward, flaring your ribs out, or arching your back, you’re not activating your core properly and putting unnecessary pressure on your pelvic floor

2️⃣ Breathe ➡️ exhale every time your feet touch the ground to manage abdominal pressure and keep your core activated

3️⃣ Land softly ➡️ this decreases the force or shock that your pelvic floor has to absorb
