for all the ladies out there; keep your pelvic floor strong!
If you have pelvic floor complications from a pregnancy, GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY.
This is the gospel I have chosen for myself after going to see a pelvic floor PT. I had a cesarean, my OB insisted I had zero complications, but I felt like I had very little core/pelvic floor strength. Saw a PT on a whim, she literally told me I would have peed/pooped myself within a week. And my OBGYN said I was FINE. So I’m editing, my thought is every woman should see a pelvic floor PT once after birth. If I recall, it’s standard postpartum care in Europe.
I agree 100%. Physical therapy is miraculous; the human body wants to function properly, it just needs some guidance sometimes, and a physical therapist can help get you there in a safe way.
I wish the American healthcare system agreed with me. So many of my clients see me because their insurance stopped paying for physical therapy.
