Pregnancy can come with a lot of aches and pains, but that doesn't mean you have to simply suffer through them. 🤍 If you're experiencing pain that travels through your buttock or down your leg, certain positions or movements may provide some relief depending on your symptoms, mobility, and stage of pregnancy. Some people may find a gentle: ✨ Seated hamstring stretch ✨ Seated piriformis stretch helpful. But pregnancy-related pain can have different causes, and the same exercise won't be appropriate for everyone. The goal isn't to force a stretch or push through pain. The goal is to find movements that help your body feel better. If you're pregnant and dealing with persistent pain, a physical therapist can help you identify what may be contributing and determine what movements are appropriate for you. You don't have to just "push through" everything. 🤍 These are also great even if you aren’t pregnant😂 #pelvichealth #sciaticarelief #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvichealth #womenshealth

Grateful for the opportunity to be a vendor at the Eastvale Benefits Fair! 🤍 Events like this are about more than introducing my practice, they’re about starting conversations and spreading awareness about pelvic health. Pelvic floor symptoms can affect women of any age, whether they’ve had children or not. Leaking while running, jumping, or sneezing, pelvic pressure, or pain with intimacy are common, but they aren’t something you simply have to live with. There is help. There are solutions. And part of my mission is making sure more women know that. 🤍 #PelvicFloorPT #PelvicHealth #WomensHealth #PelvicFloorHealth #pelvicpain

I have nothing against Kegels. 🤍 They can absolutely be an important part of pelvic floor rehabilitation when they are appropriate for your symptoms and goals. But pelvic floor problems are not all the same. Some women need to improve: ✨ Strength ✨ Endurance ✨ Coordination ✨ Relaxation ✨ Lengthening ✨ Pressure management ✨ Functional movement If you're experiencing pelvic pain, doing more Kegels may not be the answer. If you're experiencing leakage, simply doing more Kegels may not be the complete answer either. The goal is not to prescribe the same exercise to every woman. The goal is to understand what your body needs. Because your pelvic floor is not a one-size-fits-all problem.🙅🏽‍♀️ #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloorhealth #womenshealth
