If you’ve been a patient of mine you know we talk a lot about the importance of regular and easy to pass bowel movements.

Personally, if I slack on fiber which will slow my digestion, then I know my prolapse symptoms will reappear. It’s so important for me to stay on top of this.

As I’ve aged I’ve learned about the importance of getting 25+ grams of fiber as we age. does a great job at educating on this.

Inspired by and her yogurt parfait I came up with a variation that I enjoy almost daily. I will change up the berries I add depending on what we have at the house. If I’m out of berries, it still tastes great without them. I add just a light drizzle of for a little added sweetness.

A yogurt bowl like this gives me about 25 grams of fiber (and plenty of protein and fat too).

Try it out and let me know what you think!

4 questions to make sure you ask at your PFPT appointment:
1. Is this normal?- Be as open as possible with your PT. I can assure you there is nothing we haven’t heard before. If the therapist can get a really good understand of what you dealing with they can either confirm that it’s not normal, or explain to you why is all totally normal!

2. How long until I see a change?- At Angelo Pelvic Health we like to see an improvement in symptoms in the first 3-5 visits. Every clinic will have a different standard, so make sure to ask!

3. What can I do at home?- Ask this to make sure you receive things you can do at home to speed up your recovery. Often referred to as a “Home Exercise Program.” At Angelo Pelvic Health your home program will compliment you in clinic, hands on care.

4. How often would you like to see me?- It’s important to get your PFPT’s clinical opinion about frequency of treatment. This is their recommendation in a perfect world. However we all have barriers to coming in for treatment: childcare, financial, transportation, jobs,…etc. We can meet you where you are- don’t let your barriers keep you from seeking help.

Working with women who leaking during everyday activities is one of my favorite things to treat. Every person is different but these are my top three blanket recommendations for most people:
1. Practice your deep breaths- a chronically contacting pelvic floor is no use to anyone! (Stop Kegels NOW!)

2. Work in spinal movement- during a lift the pressure has to go somewhere. Making sure the spine is moving well (especially the mid spine) assures that the pressure can go somewhere other that down (on the bladder)

3. Stagger your stance. Simply put, find a different way to move. Varying the way your normally do a movement can be so helpful in retraining the brain to coordinate the PF muscles.

4 Things to know about C-Sections…that your pelvic floor PT wants you to know.

1. All births are natural. You brought a baby into this world and that is a wonderful thing. C sections are not the easy way out. You did a great job!

2. C sections are a major abdominal surgery and really disrupt the core system. This requires rehabilitation.

3. C-section scar should be mobilized early- as soon as the incision is healed is a great time to start. Start around the scar, not directly on it.

4. C-Sections still required pelvic floor PT. This is a major abdominal surgery and if not handled correctly can cause chronic core weakness, low back pain, and painful pe*******on. You can’t afford NOT to get help.

At Angelo Pelvic Health we want you to feel empowered when it’s time for labor/delivery. No matter what type of delivery you have in mind, these three tips are a great place to start.
1. Define Success: What does a successful L&D look like to you? Make a list of those descriptors. You and add or take away from that list as you get closer to delivery.

2. Have a support team. Explore options for doulas, midwifes, lactation consultants, pelvic floor PTs, and physicians. Each profession offers their own set of skill that can help you to feel supported. Don’t forget that your partner can also be a support person!

3. Show up Prepared. At APH we want you to show up wherever you decide to birth feeling prepared for anything that may come your way. We want you to feel comfortable in different laboring positions and feel confident that your partner knows the best ways to support you. If a c section is necessary we want you to have an idea what that process will look like. Education is power, and it can make you feel very powerful!

Pelvic pain can mean a lot of different things. It can range from the person that has painful intimacy to to person that has bothersome prolapse symptoms. It really is a broad term. Ultimately it refers to anyone that is having pain/discomfort in the pelvic region. These are a few things that you can begin implementing today that can kick start your healing.

Here are some general tips when you are feeling ready to return to exercise after having a baby:

1. Start slow- start with the simple exercises your pelvic floor PT gave you. These lay the foundation for a successful exercise progression.

2. Prioritize Sleep- If there is a night you are up all night with baby adjust your exercise accordingly. Maybe grab a nap while baby naps and push that work out back to the afternoon, or go for a calming walking and get some fresh air and sunlight. With a baby every day/night is different, so give yourself some grace.

3. Prioritize Nutrition- Aim to eat a protein, fat, and carb with every meal and snack. Keep things like meat sticks, cottage cheese, yogurt, or protein powder around the house for a quick source of protein.

4. Add electrolytes- my favorite brand is LMNT, but my friend .nutrition has a recipe for an at home electrolyte drink you can check out. These give you energy, hydration, and can help ward off headaches and fatigue…but do t leave you running to the restroom all day. Bonus: they can help maintain your milk supply.

5. Define goals: Setting realistic goals after baby is important. Every mom will have different priorities and that is ok. Just take some time to really assess what is important to you and set your goals based on that.

6. See a Pelvic Floor PT- Postpartum visits with a PFPT will help you to lay a foundation of strength so that you feel equipped to return to exercise safely and effectively. We have specialized knowledge of the core system and the role the pelvic floor plays in it. We can adjust movement for Diastasis recti, perineal tears, bladder leaking, back pain, or hip pain. Seeing a PFPT is the sled care you didn’t know your postpartum body needed.
