Your pelvic floor doesn’t work alone!

Did you know your pelvic floor works together with your diaphragm, abdominal muscles, back muscles, and hips to support your body and manage pressure?

That’s why pelvic floor health is about more than just doing Kegels!

Your body needs coordination between breathing, muscle strength, relaxation, and movement to help you with everyday activities like lifting, coughing, squatting, and running.

And sometimes, the answer isn't to strengthen your pelvic floor more. It may be learning how to relax, improve mobility, or coordinate your muscles more effectively.

The goal is to get the whole team working together!

Swipe through to learn how these muscles work together and why it matters for your pelvic floor health.

Bladder leakage isn’t a one-size-fits-all problem—and finding the root cause is key to creating the right treatment plan. 💧

During an initial evaluation, there are specific questions I ask to better understand why you’re experiencing leakage and what your body may be telling us.

Here are my top 5 questions I ask myself during an initial evaluation to help determine the best approach for treating your bladder leakage.

Because the goal isn’t just to manage the symptoms—it’s to understand WHY they’re happening. 💛

Your pelvic floor plays an important role in bladder control—but healthy pelvic floor function isn't simply about having “strong” muscles.

These muscles need to contract when you need support and relax when you need to empty your bladder.

If you're experiencing leaking, urgency, or other bladder changes, there may be more to the picture than muscle weakness.

Postpartum recovery is about so much more than “getting your body back.” 🤍

Your body has gone through pregnancy, birth, and major physical changes—and your pelvic floor deserves support, too.

Bladder leakage
Pelvic or low-back pain
Core and pelvic-floor weakness
Pain with intimacy
Pelvic pressure or heaviness
Returning to exercise safely

And no, you don’t have to wait until something feels “really wrong” to seek support.

Whether you’re newly postpartum or months (or even years) after birth, it’s never too late to learn more about your pelvic health

Your postpartum body has been through a lot—and it deserves support. 🤍

Pregnancy and birth can impact your pelvic floor, core, hips, back, and overall strength. Things like leaking, pelvic pressure, pain, abdominal weakness, or difficulty returning to exercise may be common, but you don’t have to simply “push through.”

Postpartum physical therapy can help you understand your body, rebuild strength, address symptoms, and confidently return to the activities you love. ✨

Whether you’re newly postpartum or months (or even years) after birth, it’s never too late to seek support.

You don’t have to bounce back. You can build back.

Your pelvic floor deserves support throughout pregnancy—not just after birth.

Pregnancy brings changes to your posture, pelvic alignment, core, and pelvic floor in every trimester. Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you adapt to those changes, manage discomfort, and feel more prepared for birth and recovery. đź’•

1st trimester: Address early discomforts & posture changes
2nd trimester: Support pelvic alignment & core function
3rd trimester: Prepare for delivery & postpartum recovery

You don’t have to wait until something hurts to seek support. Your pelvic floor PT can help you prepare your body for the journey ahead.

Pregnancy changes your body—and your pelvic floor is along for the ride!

Pelvic floor physical therapy can help you feel more comfortable, confident, and prepared throughout pregnancy and as you get ready for birth.

From managing back, hip, and pelvic pain to improving bladder and bowel control, supporting your core, and preparing your pelvic floor for labor, there are so many ways PT can support you during this season.

And remember: pelvic floor PT isn't just about strengthening. Learning how to relax and coordinate your pelvic floor is just as important—especially when preparing for birth. 👶✨

You don't have to wait until something hurts to seek support. Your pelvic floor deserves care throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Pregnancy changes more than just your belly — it changes your whole body.

As your baby grows, hormonal changes, shifting weight, changes in posture, and increased pressure can affect your pelvic floor, core, hips, pelvis, and low back.

You may notice:
Leaking or urinary urgency
Low back, pelvic, or hip pain
Changes in your abdominal wall, including diastasis recti
Constipation or hemorrhoids
Pelvic pressure or heaviness

While these symptoms can be common during pregnancy, common doesn’t mean you have to simply live with them.

Your pelvic floor deserves support throughout pregnancy — not just after birth.

A pelvic health physical therapist can help you understand what’s happening in your body and provide individualized strategies to support comfort, movement, bladder and bowel function, core strength, and preparation for birth and postpartum recovery.

Your changing body is doing something incredible. Give it the support it deserves.

You don’t have to wait until something feels “wrong” to care for your pelvic floor.

Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy (PFPT) is a safe, evidence-based option for both prevention and treatment across different stages of life.

Prenatal + postpartum: Prepare for birth, manage pregnancy-related discomfort, and support recovery after delivery.

After surgery: PT can help support mobility, strength, coordination, scar management, and return to daily activities.

At any stage: Leakage, urgency, constipation, pelvic pressure, or pelvic pain are all reasons to seek support.

And remember: PFPT isn’t just Kegels. Your pelvic floor may need strengthening, relaxation, improved coordination, mobility, or a combination of approaches depending on your individual needs.

You deserve care that is proactive, personalized, and evidence-based.

Your pelvic floor doesn’t always need to be stronger—it needs to know when to contract AND when to relax.

If you’re experiencing leaking, weakness, or difficulty with support, strengthening may be helpful.

But if you’re dealing with pelvic pain, tension, painful pe*******on, difficulty emptying your bladder or bowels, or a feeling of constantly “clenching,” your pelvic floor may need relaxation and coordination instead.

✨ The goal isn’t a pelvic floor that’s always tight.
✨ The goal is a pelvic floor that can respond to what your body needs.

And remember: more Kegels ≠ always better.

If you’re unsure what your pelvic floor needs, a pelvic health physical therapist can help assess your muscles and create an individualized plan.
