Postpartum: Excited But Exhausted?

Physical therapy should be your first line of defense

PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM

Most folks know that physical therapists treat muscles and soft tissue (think tennis elbow or sprained ankle).

​Pelvic physical therapy is the same thing! Often, it is the musculoskeletal system surrounding the pelvis that causes pelvic pain.

THE KEGELS DILEMMA

After delivery, most women are told to “do Kegels,” which are exercises meant to strengthen a weak pelvic floor.

If strengthening is the best therapeutic option, the issue is that 51% of women do not perform a Kegel properly with verbal cueing alone, according to a recent research survey.

Sometimes, if a problem is stemming from tight pelvic floor muscles, strengthening can increase pelvic pain!
​
Is “doing Kegels” simple advise? Yes. Healing and helpful? Often not.

Blue circle with white text stating 25% of women in a study attempted Kegels in a manner that would increase incontinence issues.

What happens at the first visit?

Your first appointment is one hour. An internal pelvic exam is often part of a pelvic floor assessment, and it is optional. You can decline it at any time.
