Part 2 is here 🙌 Swipe to see if you guessed right 👉

Last 3 muscle groups I’d train to stop leaking as a pelvic floor PT, mom of 3, with prolapse:

4️⃣ Transverse abdominis
5️⃣ Hip flexors
6️⃣ Calves 👀

If you guessed calves, I’m seriously impressed.

Your pelvic floor needs its whole team. I’m putting all of it into The Return Method, so you can lift, run, jump and chase your kids without planning your day around leaking or prolapse.

“I can’t feel my pelvic floor” is one of the most common things I hear in clinic. There are two big reasons why. 👇

1️⃣ Your brain’s map is small. Your brain keeps a map of your body, and areas you use and feel often (like your hands and face) take up lots of space. The pelvic floor starts out with a much smaller spot, so the connection is faint at first. The more you connect to it with breath, touch, cues and movement, the stronger that map gets.

2️⃣ It’s already working. This is the one I see ALL the time. Many people hold low-level tension in their pelvic floor all day while sitting, driving, bracing or sucking in. A muscle that’s already contracted has very little room to contract more, so when you try to lift, it feels like nothing happened.

A healthy pelvic floor moves like a trampoline. It lengthens and drops, then lifts and recoils. Learning to release is often the missing first step to finally feeling the lift.

Black leggings. Just in case. 🖤

If you’ve ever planned a workout, a school pickup, or a sneeze around your bladder, swipe through. This is the 3-phase path I use with my patients:

1️⃣ Connect: your pelvic floor learns to show up before the pressure does
2️⃣ Strengthen: it learns to hold under real weight (hi, toddler on your hip)
3️⃣ Return: it learns to handle impact, from hops to real miles

That’s how the mom of 4 from my previous reel went from leaking every time she picked up her kids to training for a 10K. Nearly leak free.

I’m a pelvic floor PT with prolapse, and for years I gripped my abs through every single day.

Sucking in and bracing hard may feel like strength. But it’s false strength. (Check out to previous reel to learn why this ends in tissue failure ➡️)

When you grip, your rib cage locks down and your diaphragm can’t descend. The pressure in your abdomen has nowhere to go but down, onto your pelvic floor. And when the pelvic floor is constantly having to brace against that pressure can’t lengthen or recoil, so it loses the very springiness it needs to support you under load.

A coordinated core works as a pressure system. Your diaphragm and pelvic floor move together: they descend on the inhale and recoil on the exhale. Your ribs expand 360°, so pressure spreads out instead of pushing down on the pelvic floor. Your deep core is meant to automatically respond to the load in front of you, so you don’t have to hold it on all day.

Learning this is what changed the game for me and my prolapse symptoms.

Here are 3 movements examples to get you started:
1️⃣ 90/90 Breathing
2️⃣ Weighted Open Books
3️⃣ Pelvic Tilts with Lat Activation

Save this for your next workout.

Let me deinfluence you.

The internet will tell you to do 100 Kegels a day, never lift anything heavy again, suck your belly in all day, and “bounce back” in six weeks. I’m a pelvic floor PT and a mom of 3, and I’ve watched all of that land in my clinic and in my own feed.

Swipe for the things I’d stop believing today. Save this for the next time a stranger with a ring light tells you what your body should be doing.

Which one did you need to hear? Tell me below.

Comment CAPACITY if you want to know what your pelvic floor can actually handle.

Kegels are not the answer to everything. If your pelvic floor can’t relax, squeezing harder can make things worse. A healthy pelvic floor contracts, relaxes, and coordinates with your breath under load. An assessment tells you which of those yours needs.

Your 6-week clearance means you’re healed enough to start building. It does not mean you’re ready to run, lift, or chase a toddler. Capacity gets trained, and restrictions need exit criteria. If nobody gave you a plan, ask for one. Send this to a mom who was told “you’re cleared” and nothing else.

Common is not the same as normal. Leakage = dysfunction. Lots of moms leak when they jump, run, or sneeze, and that makes it common. It does not mean you have to live with it. It’s treatable. Tag a friend who needs to hear this to

Stop sucking your belly in all day. Constant bracing trains tension, not strength. Exhale on effort and let everything soften between reps. Try it on your next lift or the next time you pick up your kid, and tell me what you notice.

Lifting heavy doesn’t wreck your pelvic floor. Unmanaged pressure and zero progression do. With a plan, load builds capacity. Don’t let a blanket “no lifting” rule keep you from the strength you’re trying to build

Twelve messy minutes beats the perfect hour that never happens. Kid on your back, snack negotiation mid-set, none of it makes your workout count less. Show me your most chaotic workout in the comments.

You don’t bounce back. You build forward. Three pregnancies taught me that your body isn’t a before photo waiting to return. Save this for the days you need the reminder.

Peek inside a session with a post-op hysterectomy patient who’s ready to add impact back into her routine. 👀

Here’s what we added:

Stomp sit to stand
Band assisted pogo jumps

Impact after surgery doesn’t have to be all or nothing. We build it back gradually, so your body is ready for it. 💛

Save this for impact progression inspiration. 📌

There is NO one-size-fits-all return to sport postpartum 🤍

A calendar date doesn’t determine readiness.
Your recovery depends on your birth, your symptoms, your strength, your goals.

Rehab should be individualized — because your body and your story are. 💪✨

The pelvic floor is ✨ one part of a beautifully connected system✨— not a standalone muscle 🧠✨

When we learn to breathe with 360° expansion (not just belly breathing or lifting into the chest/shoulders), the diaphragm and pelvic floor can actually do their jobs together

💨 Inhale = length
🌬️ Exhale = lift

When breath and movement are coordinated well, **almost any exercise can become pelvic floor supportive**.

Here’s where it gets individualized 👇

Where you breathe during an exercise may look different from someone else — based on your current strengths, restrictions, habits, and symptoms

🔄 Trying one rep inhaling on the effort
🔁 Then switching and exhaling on the effort
🧪 And noticing what feels more supportive (or challenging)

That exploration can give HUGE insight into your body’s needs

And guess what?
👉 Both strategies can be useful

Challenging your body, pelvic floor, and brain to adapt to different breathing patterns builds resilience 🧠💪
More movement options = more confidence, more control, and better carryover to real life.

Because when it comes to movement and pelvic health…
✨More options is always better✨
