Pelvic pain may be common during pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean you just have to deal with it until delivery. 🤰🏼

As your body changes, your pelvic floor, core, hips, and back are all adapting to support your growing baby. These changes can sometimes contribute to pelvic pain, p***c bone pain, SI joint pain, and low back pain.

Pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy can help address the factors that contribute to your pain symptoms through strengthening and mobility exercises, hands on techniques, and changes to your movement mechanics throughout the day.

You deserve to feel as comfortable and strong as possible throughout your pregnancy, not just wait and hope it gets better after delivery. 🤍

The energy shift is immediate 😂🔋

Me when it’s time to type my notes: 🪫😵‍💫
Me when it’s time to treat patients: 🔋✨😁

There’s just something about getting to problem solve, educate, celebrate progress, and help someone feel more confident in their body that brings the energy right back.

Documentation though… somehow my battery immediately hits 1%. 😂

Any other healthcare providers relate?!

A little curb walking, a lot of questions 👀🤰

You may have heard that curb walking can help “get labor started” but what does it actually do?

Curb walking creates an asymmetrical loading pattern through the pelvis, which may encourage movement and mobility through the hips and pelvis. It can be a comfortable way to add gentle movement in late pregnancy.

This asymmetrical movement may also help create slightly different positioning and spaces within the pelvis, potentially giving baby opportunities to adjust and navigate their way down into the pelvis.

Think of it as a movement strategy, not a guarantee that baby will arrive sooner. 💛

Movement can support your body through pregnancy, but ultimately baby decides when it’s time. 👶🏼

Your breathing matters during crowning! 👀

As baby is crowning, the goal is to allow the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues time to gradually lengthen and accommodate baby’s head.

Using short, controlled breaths or gentle exhales while keeping the pelvic floor relaxed can help slow down the speed of delivery and reduce excessive pressure through the perineal tissues.

What we DON’T want? Holding your breath for dear life and pushing as hard as possible when your provider is asking you to slow down. 😅

Every birth is different, and no technique can guarantee you won’t tear. But learning how to coordinate your breathing, pushing, and pelvic floor relaxation before labor can help you feel more prepared and confident going into birth. 🤰🏼🤍

This is just ONE of the things we work on during birth prep sessions with our pregnant patients!

Painful intimacy is rarely something you should just “push through” or hope goes away on its own.

After helping hundreds of women experiencing pain with intimacy, here’s what we know for sure: there is usually more to the story. Pelvic floor muscle tension, difficulty relaxing, scar tissue, hormonal changes, stress, past experiences, and other factors can all play a role.

And most importantly, treatment should never be one-size-fits-all. 🤍

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help identify what may be contributing to your pain and create an individualized plan to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and in control of your body.

Painful intimacy is common, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it as your normal.

If rolling over in bed, getting out of the car, walking, or putting on pants has suddenly become painful during pregnancy, you may be experiencing pelvic girdle pain.

As your body changes throughout pregnancy hormonal fluctuations, increased pressure, changes in posture and the way your pelvic floor, core, and hips work together can all contribute to discomfort.

The good news? You don’t necessarily have to just deal with it until delivery. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help address what may be contributing to your pain and give you strategies to remain active and move more comfortably throughout the rest of your pregnancy. 🤰🏼🤍

Pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t just for postpartum recovery. It can be incredibly beneficial during pregnancy too! 🤰🏼🤍

As your body changes throughout pregnancy, your pelvic floor, core, hips, and back are all adapting to increased pressure, changes in posture, and the physical demands of growing a baby.

Pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy can help with:
✨ Pelvic pain, p***c bone pain, and SI joint pain
✨ Low back and hip pain
✨ Urinary frequency, urgency and incontinence
✨ Pelvic pressure and heaviness
✨ Constipation and difficulty with bowel movements
✨ Remaining active and exercising comfortably during pregnancy
✨ Learning how to relax and lengthen the pelvic floor
✨ Preparing for labor, pushing, and birth
✨ Building strength and confidence for postpartum recovery

Pelvic floor PT during pregnancy isn’t just about doing Kegels. Treatment is individualized to your body, your symptoms and your goals.

You don’t have to wait until after your baby is born to start taking care of your pelvic floor. Pregnancy is a great time to learn more about your body, address symptoms early, and prepare for birth and postpartum recovery. 🤍

Being a pelvic floor physical therapist means having conversations most people never imagined they’d have at a PT appointment 😂

We talk about peeing, pooping, seggs, periods, pregnancy, pressure, pain, and pretty much everything in between. And somehow, your hips, core, breathing, and daily habits always seem to find their way into the conversation too. 👀

The pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation, which is why pelvic floor physical therapy looks at so much more than just the pelvic floor itself.

And yes, we promise it gets less awkward very quickly. 😂🤍

A little appreciation post for our very own Emily 🤍

Growing a baby, treating patients, helping run a business, and somehow still showing up every day with the same passion and dedication to the people we care for.

Building a business is no small thing. Growing a human is definitely no small thing. Doing both at the same time while continuing to help others along the way? Pretty incredible. 🥹🤰🏼

We’re so lucky to have you, Emily! Baby Santello already has one hardworking mama.
