Happy Core Happy Floor PT

This client came to me after 3 C-sections and a hysterectomy wanting to make sure her body was as strong and supported as possible.
Like many women, she wasn’t sure what Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy would involve or if it would really make a difference.
A few sessions later, here’s what she had to say:
💬 “Dr. Martin has been life changing. I have been able to reframe the way I think about my body, breathing and movement.”
One of my favorite parts of this work is helping women understand that healing isn’t just about exercises. It’s about learning how your body works, rebuilding confidence, and finding ways to move through life with more strength and ease.
Whether you’ve had a C-section, hysterectomy, vaginal delivery, or any other abdominal or pelvic surgery, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Your body deserves support. ❤️

The workouts are great.
But can your body handle the real-life demands of motherhood?

✔️ Picking up toddlers
✔️ Carrying car seats
✔️ Laundry baskets
✔️ Grocery bags

Pelvic floor rehab should prepare you for life—not just the gym.

🏃‍♀️ Running Tip #12: Progress Gradually

This one is BIG—especially for postpartum moms.

I’ve recently had moms tell me they started running as soon as they were “cleared” by their OB… but clearance doesn’t always mean your body is fully ready for the demands of running.

There’s a lot that should be built first:
✔️ Core + pelvic floor coordination
✔️ Strength and impact tolerance
✔️ Proper running mechanics

Jumping back in too quickly can increase the risk of:
Leaking
Heaviness or pressure
Pain or injury

✨ Cue: “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should—yet”

Take your time, build your foundation, and your body will thank you later.

And that’s a wrap on the 12 running tips 👏

If you’re not sure where to start (or restart), I’m here to help guide you every step of the way 💛

🏃‍♀️ Running Tip #11: Land Softly

Landing softly helps reduce stress and pressure on your knees, hips, low back, AND can also decrease impact through your pelvic floor.

Take a second to listen to yourself running 👇

Do you hear pounding or your feet slapping the ground?
That’s a sign to dial it back and soften your steps.

✔️ Less impact
✔️ Better shock absorption
✔️ More efficient, controlled stride

Your goal? Smooth, quiet footsteps.

Stay tuned for my final running tip!
