These past 8 weeks have absolutely flown by! We had a BLAST in our postpartum recovery class, and I am so proud of the moms who joined us. I just can't say that enough 😆

We spent our last week working on how to we introduce impact exercises into our workout routines and answering each mom's individual exercise questions. There were so many good questions!

If you're interested in joining us and restoring your core and pelvic floor while being in community with other moms, we still have space for our upcoming Spring session starting March 18th. We'd love to have you!

Our physical prep for birth must be intentional. There is so much more to it than perineal massage.

Find your friendly neighborhood pelvic floor PT to help you with birth prep and tag your pregnant friends to remind them to do their exercises today 😉

Many pregnant women assume things like pain, leaking, and discomfort are just part of pregnancy.

But they’re often signs that your body needs more support.

Here are 5 signs you may benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy:

• persistent back pain
• hip pain when lying on your side
• leaking urine when coughing or sneezing
• p***c symphysis pain (SPD)
• baby constantly kicking the same painful spot

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help your body move better, reduce pain, and prepare for labor.

If you're pregnant and struggling with any of these symptoms, you don’t have to just “push through” or accept it as the norm.

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help. Check out the latest blog article explaining these signs and how therapy can help.

If you're being given the advice to "do your Kegels" when you tell your provider or friends that you're having pelvic floor struggles...

You need to throw that advice straight into the trash.

It's garbage 🗑

There's a time a place for Kegels, and I've prescribed my fair share of them. But until we know what's going on with *your* pelvic floor, Kegels could actually make things worse.

Get assessed by a pelvic floor physical therapist and have a plan tailor made to you to fix your problems for good.

(and please, for the love of all that's holy, don't jump onto one of those chairs that claims to make you do "thousands of pelvic floor contractions" in a treatment session. We won't name names here, but if it sounds too good to be true and easy and effortless... it probably is indeed too good to be true. Anything worth having isn't gimmicky)

Most moms are "cleared" for exercise at 6 weeks postpartum.

But that doesn't mean your body is ready for running, HIIT, or heavy lifting.

If you notice leaking, abdominal doming, or pelvic pressure during workouts, your body is asking for better core and pelvic floor support.

That's exactly what we focus on in postpartum Foundations- my small group class designed to help moms rebuild strength safely.

My OB cleared me at 6 weeks, so I'm good... right?

WRONG.

Medical clearance is not the same as being healed.

At 6 weeks postpartum:
- Core strength isn't restored
- Pelvic floor strength, coordination, and function haven't been rebuilt
- Scar mobility likely hasn't been addressed
- Return to activity readiness hasn't been tested

Clearance means you survived delivery and you probably won't land in the hospital due to a medical condition in the near future.

Healed means you've done your rehab and you've rebuilt.

There's a difference.

Most women think pelvic floor PT is only for pain.

But pregnancy care should be proactive, not reactive.

During pregnancy we work on:
- Pelvic floor coordination
- Core support as baby grows
- Manual therapy to optimize baby's position
- Pushing mechanics and all things labor
- Preventing common aches and pains

(This list is *far* from exhaustive)

You don't wait for cavities to see the dentist.
Your pelvic floor deserves the same preventative care.

If you're in your first or second trimester, this is your sign to get in with your pelvic floor PT.

That 6-week appointment tells you one thing:

You're medically cleared.

But that doesn't tell you how to safely return to:
- core work
- running
- weightlifting
- high impact exercise

Postpartum Foundations bridges that gap.

Spring session starts March 18th and registration is open. Comment FOUNDATIONS below and will send you the registration link.

We just wrapped up week 7 of our postpartum recovery class and I am SO PROUD of these moms and all that they are accomplishing.

They are getting so strong. They are also learning to truly respect their bodies and all of the miraculous things they've accomplished in having their babies and recovering from that. It's so exciting and invigorating to see them doing so well!

Our Spring session starts in 2 weeks on March 18th, and registration is open. Link is in the bio for the registration page, or head over to www.foundationptwi.com/grouppostpartumclass.

*For those who are currently pregnant and have their eyes on the class or you've been thinking about it but are thinking of waiting for the summer session, be aware that the summer session will likely not take place until July or August because of my maternity leave. When I come back, I'll be rehabbing right alongside you. It'll be a blast!

**I am still scheduling 1:1 appointments at the clinic. I plan to take new patients all the way through the month of May.

Feeling like your kids totally wrecked your body?

Your core just doesn't feel, look, or work the same anymore.

You p*e when you cough or sneeze.

Exercise feels intimidating or even a little useless because nothing works the same and you don't want to embarrass yourself.

If any of that resonates with you, then our Postpartum Foundations class is the perfect fit for you!

This is a small group, 8 week class series designed for moms of all stages to set a strong foundation for their core and pelvic floor.

Imagine being the mom who:
⭐ Doesn't have to change her un**es after coughing or sneezing
🤕 Doesn't have weird aches and pains because her core actually shows up to support her
🤸🏽‍♀️ Can jump and play with her kids without being embarrassed
💪🏽 Who feels strong and confident in the gym and daily life

This could be you! You just have to take the first step.

Come join us for our spring session. We start March 18th.
