3 Pelvic Floor Exercises That Aren’t Kegels 👇

🩷 Modified Dead Bug + Pelvic Floor/TA
 Exhale, gently engage your pelvic floor and deep core, then slowly lower one leg at a time. Keep your low back connected to the floor. 2–3 × 6–10/side

🩷 Bridge + Adductor Squeeze
 Place a ball or pillow between your knees. Exhale, engage your pelvic floor, squeeze, and lift your hips. 2–3 × 10–12

🩷 Bear Hover + Pelvic Floor/TA
 From hands and knees, exhale and engage your pelvic floor and deep core. Hover your knees 1–2 inches off the floor while breathing steadily. 2–3 × 5–8 reps, holding 5–10 sec

These exercises can help improve pelvic floor strength, coordination, and core control. 💪

Remember—pelvic floor exercises aren’t one-size-fits-all. If you’re experiencing leaking, pelvic pressure, or pain, we can help!

Stiff thoracic spine? 👀

Improving thoracic mobility can help you move more comfortably, improve posture and movement mechanics, and make everyday activities and exercise feel easier.

Hip pain affecting how you move?

Orthopedic manual physical therapy can be a helpful tool for improving mobility and reducing symptoms.

✨ Soft tissue mobilization & functional massage to help decrease muscle tension and improve tissue pliability.

✨ Joint mobilizations to help improve hip joint mobility and movement.

✨ Targeted stretching to improve flexibility of the muscles surrounding the hip.

The goal? Less pain, better mobility, and more comfortable movement.

Don’t let your hip pain stop you from doing what you love. DM us or give us a call and one of our orthopedic manual physical therapists will help you get back.

1️⃣ 360° Breathing – Practice expanding your rib cage and abdomen in all directions to promote proper breathing and trunk control.

2️⃣ Transverse Abdominis (TA) Bracing – Gently engage your deep core muscles to create stability around your spine.

3️⃣ Supine Mini Marching + TA Brace – Maintain your deep core engagement while alternating your legs to challenge core stability.

4️⃣ Double Knee-to-Chest Stretch – Gently bring both knees toward your chest to encourage low back mobility and relaxation.

Stepping stones may look like simple play, but they’re giving little bodies a LOT to practice!

As toddlers step from one stone to the next, they’re working on:

✨ Balance and postural control ✨ Weight shifting ✨ Coordination ✨ Motor planning ✨ Lower-extremity strength ✨ Confidence with movement

And the best part? It doesn’t have to feel like “exercise.” Play is one of the best ways to help children build movement skills while keeping them engaged and having fun.

At 121 Physical Therapy we are here for all the BIG and small steps in your toddler’s life!
