Have you heard of reverse kegels? 👀👇⁣ ⁣ Since having baby, I’ve been working with a pelvic PT to ensure I’m recovering properly…⁣ ⁣ And something CRAZY I learned is that the symptoms of a weak pelvic floor can be similar to those of a tight pelvic floor. 🤯⁣ ⁣ AKA “just doing kegels” might not help you stop peeing, leaking, or struggling during exercise.⁣ ⁣ Matter of fact -⁣ ⁣ It may make your symptoms worse since you’re tightening the muscles that are already too tight. 🙇‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Enter reverse kegels.⁣ ⁣ My pelvic PT explained them as a rep-based way of relaxing your pelvic floor.⁣ ⁣ The inhale is the same as a regular kegel — aiming to get a big inhale into the belly, feeling the pelvic floor move down and lengthen…⁣ ⁣ But rather than contracting to pull the pelvic floor up as you would on a regular kegel, you just release your breath from that lengthened position. 💨⁣ ⁣ As I’ve gotten back to exercise, she’s recommend I do sets of 10 reverse kegels per day to ensure I’m balancing out the tension created during exercise.⁣ ⁣ Pelvic dysfunction doesn’t just affect pregnant or postpartum women, it can also affect anybody who lifts heavy or trains high intensity as these activities require your pelvic floor to be constantly working.⁣ ⁣ While pelvic dysfunction may be common, it doesn’t need to be normal and I highly recommend getting assessed by a pelvic PT if you’re struggling. 💛⁣ ⁣ #fitpregnancy #pregnant #pregnancy #pregnancyworkout #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyfitness #postpartum #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney #postpartumworkout #pelvicfloor #pelvichealth #pelvicfloorexercises

Pelvic floor therapy (PFT) isn’t just about “Kegels” (even if your doc told you that) it’s research-backed care that supports you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Here’s what the evidence shows: During pregnancy: ✔️Lowers risk / reverse of leakage and pelvic floor dysfunction ✔️Reduces back, hip, and sciatica nerve pain ✔️Supports core strength and diastasis recovery ✔️Prepares your body for more effective pushing mechanics During birth: ✔️Lowers risk of severe tearing ✔️Can shorten second stage of labor Postpartum: ✔️Speeds up recovery time w/ acute early rehab + strength and tissue connection strategies ✔️Helps with scar tissue rehab (C-section and vaginal) ✔️Improves return to intimacy without pain ✔️Reverse leakage, pelvic heaviness, and back pain If you are CURRENTLY pregnant and in pain, dealing with bladder leakage, or pelvic heaviness THERE IS NO REASON TO WAIT until postpartum when everything can start being addressed NOW in pregnancy.

Can you pass gas discreetly? . This is a special cue I use to teach pelvic floor relaxation to prepare for birth. . It requires a mind-body connection to relax the pelvic floor on command, without actually needing to pass gas. . It’s an important technique to master to stay open for baby coming down and then passing through the canal. . I use a variety of different cues to help my clients connect to this movement, which can be a challenge since you cannot see the muscles. You must feel them from within. . Relaxation is one of my pillars for birth prep. . If you want to read my other 4 tips for a better birth experience, check out my mini report which can be accessed through the link in bio. . #pregancyprep #birthprep #birthpreparation #babyiscoming👶 #babyiscomingsoon #pelvicfloorrelease #pelvicfloorrelaxation #reversekegels #momtobe2021 #labourprep #labouranddelivery #labourpreparation #goingintolabour #thebetterbirthmethod #betterbirthtips
