…but don’t forget to add 🧘‍♀️.

Overloaded schedules can trigger pelvic pressure, urgency, and pain — especially if you’re always on your feet.

✨Try this reset:
Lie on your back with your legs up the wall for 3–5 minutes.
Let your pelvic floor soften and your body decompress. 😌

Chilly Sunday mornings are always better when they’re spent building community 💙🥯

I loved speaking at Bagels & Bumps at an event created for expecting moms to learn about the support systems they can put in place before baby arrives. Because postpartum care shouldn’t start when you’re already exhausted and overwhelmed.

We had an amazing panel sharing real, practical guidance:
✨ Pelvic physical therapy (that’s me!)
✨ A pediatrician Dr. Lisa Ryan of Woods Mill Pediatrics
✨ An IBCLC for lactation support .stl

And of course, Ali, the owner of New Mom School, wrapped it all together by sharing how their program helps moms build a strong circle of support postpartum!

If you’re pregnant, this is your reminder: you don’t have to wait until something feels “wrong” to line up care. Preparing your team ahead of time can make all the difference. 🤍

So grateful to be part of a community that truly shows up for moms.

Stress levels going ⬆️ this season?
Your pelvic floor feels that too!
Busy schedules, travel, and family dynamics can cause the pelvic floor to tighten and symptoms to flare.

Try a Holiday Breathing Break:
🫁 Slow breath in through your nose
👄 Long exhale (longer than your inhale)
🔁 Repeat for 1–2 minutes

Your pelvic floor loves calm energy. ✨

⚡ Struggling with erectile dysfunction? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to settle for temporary fixes.

Shockwave therapy is a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment that helps restore natural blood flow and tissue health—treating the root cause of ED instead of just masking symptoms.

🎄Holiday treats are fun… until your pelvic floor gets stuck dealing with constipation.
Rich, sugary, low-fiber meals can slow digestion and make bowel movements harder — literally. And straining puts a LOT of pressure on your pelvic floor.

✨Easy fix:
✔ Add fiber (veggies, fruit, beans)
✔ Drink more water
✔ Keep meals spread throughout the day

Keep the joy — ditch the straining! 🚽

Pregnancy puts your body through more changes than ANY other stage of life — and your pelvic floor is right in the center of it all. Working with a pelvic PT during pregnancy can make a world of difference in how you feel now and how you recover later.

Here’s what pelvic PT can help you with:
✨ Reduce back, hip, or pelvic pain
✨ Improve bladder control & reduce leakage
✨ Support your core as your belly grows
✨ Prepare your pelvic floor for labor & delivery
✨ Improve mobility and make daily movement more comfortable
✨ Build confidence in how your body is changing
✨ Set the stage for a smoother postpartum recovery

You deserve to feel strong, supported, and empowered throughout your pregnancy — not just “putting up” with symptoms.

💡 Did you know your breathing patterns can affect your pelvic floor?

The diaphragm and pelvic floor work as a team to manage pressure, support your organs, and keep your core stable. When they fall out of sync, issues like leakage, prolapse, or pelvic pain can arise.

In this week’s blog, we break down:
✔ How the diaphragm + pelvic floor partnership works
✔ What happens when the system is off balance
✔ How pelvic floor PT uses breathwork to restore harmony

Pregnancy looks different in every body — but your pelvic floor goes through BIG changes in each trimester. Here are some of the most common pelvic concerns we see:

1st Trimester:
• Pelvic cramping or pressure
• Constipation
• Increased urgency
• Early low back or hip discomfort
(Hormones + fluid shifts = lots of change fast!)

2nd Trimester:
• Round ligament pain
• Low back + pelvic girdle pain
• Leaking with sneezing or exercise
• Tailbone or p***c symphysis discomfort
(Baby grows, posture changes, pressure increases.)

3rd Trimester:
• Pelvic heaviness or prolapse symptoms
• More frequent leakage
• Difficulty walking or rolling in bed
• Braxton Hicks increasing pressure on the pelvic floor
(Your body is preparing for birth — and your pelvic floor feels it.)

The good news? Pelvic PT can help you stay strong, comfortable, and supported through ALL stages of pregnancy.

Your pelvic floor works HARD during pregnancy — and most moms don’t realize just how much these muscles do until they start sending out distress signals.

During pregnancy, the pelvic floor supports a growing uterus, stabilizes your core, helps manage pressure, and adapts to major postural and hormonal changes.
Because of all that strain, it’s common to experience things like:
• Bladder leakage
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• Low back, hip, or tailbone pain
• Pain with movement or exercise
• Constipation
• Increased urgency or difficulty fully emptying

Here’s the good news: you don’t just have to put up with it.
Pelvic PT can help you stay strong, comfortable, and confident throughout pregnancy — and set you up for an easier postpartum recovery.

👉 DM us if you’re local to STL and want guided help from our pelvic PT team.
