Want to earn a 🌟 from your pelvic floor physio? Here’s a few ways I’d hand them out:

⭐️ Returning to movement gradually (& early if appropriate). Not just by some arbitrary 6-week timeline that isn’t nuanced whatsoever
⭐️ Using a vaginal moisturizer to support vaginal comfort and tissue health
⭐️ Considering pessary use as a helpful tool for prolapse management
⭐️ Making breathwork and nervous system regulation part of your pelvic health “toolbox”
⭐️ Seeing a pelvic floor physiotherapist during pregnancy

Remember, there’s no one “right” way to care for your pelvic floor. Your needs, symptoms, stage of life and goals all matter 💚

🌟What’s your gold star behaviour?! Let me know in the comments, pelvic or otherwise ;)

A little reminder to slow down and check in with yourself. 💚

Our bodies are always communicating with us, but sometimes we get so used to pushing through that we stop listening.

Pelvic health is about more than just the physical symptoms. It’s about how those symptoms can affect your confidence, movement, rest, relationships, and overall well-being.
✨So take a moment.. to breathe, slow down, and listen.

You deserve to feel good in your body. And you deserve support along the way 🌿

Sensitivity, altered feeling, and/or pain in your cesarean scar? ⚡️ Although super common, you do not just have to simply live with it! You’ll want to save this post & read on if you’ve had a c-section!

There are 7 layers of tissue that were involved in the surgery. Simply put, because of the incision lots of ways for things to get agitated, irritated, & altered. Nerves need ample time for re-growth, and scar tissue and adhesion formation between tissue layers are another factor impacting sensation & overall mobility.

Here’s how to help improve sensitivity & begin improving your ability to get movement in the scar itself:
👉🏼You’ll want to begin AROUND the scar, and not directly over it at first. ⛔️Wait until the incision is fully healed to do this right over the scar to avoid infection.
✨Use soft, gentle materials & progress to more rough textures as sensitivity and sensation improves.
✅For example, use a silk sheet or soft cotton ball to start. Gently move across the skin all around your scar for 2-3 minutes, working up to 5 minutes a day. ➡️Once you become comfortable with these textures and it feels more “normal”, move on to rougher textures such as a towel, toothbrush, or scouring sponge. Again, begin around the scar at first before right over it.

What will this help with?
✨Helps the nervous system heal & recognize these sensations as “normal” again
✨Helps decrease pain, burning, itching & any other “weird” sensations you may be feeling in the area
✨Stimulates & improves nerve regeneration - remember these things were cut through during surgery and need time to heal & regrow!
✨Works towards decreasing any potential fear associated with touching the area
✨Allows you to begin reconnecting with the area

Were you given this info if you had a belly birth? Let me know in the comments! 💕
& remember, it’s NEVER too late to work on your scar - reach out if you have questions!

Signs you may have TENSION in your pelvic floor ⚡️
A “tight” pelvic floor does not necessarily mean a strong one! Above are some of the things to keep a look out for. ✅We want our pelvic floor muscles (just like any other muscle group) to be able to contract with the appropriate force when needed, coordinate proper timing, AND relax fully at the end of a contraction.

An interesting finding 📝: the majority of women who experience low back pain, also report pelvic floor dysfunction (like pain or incontinence). The majority are also found to have OVERACTIVITY rather than just weakness of the pelvic floor. An aside - I generally find the two going hand-in-hand. Clinically when I see a client that has overactivity/tension, it then indirectly affects strength as well!

🧐Okay, so how do we combat this and learn to relax the pelvic floor? Having an internal assessment with a pelvic floor physiotherapist or other provider is the gold standard to determine & provide guidance on what would be best for you. ✨Stay tuned for my next post where I’ll go over some general strategies & some of my favourites to try that may be helpful!

Do you experience any of these symptoms? Do any of them surprise you? 🙋🏻‍♀️Let me know!
