38. Moving Confidently: Redefining Exercise Safety in Pelvic Health
Something that’s been popping up a lot for both of us in our practices recently is this idea about certain exercises being ‘bad’ for you.
We’re often asked if you should avoid exercise due to ‘XYZ’. We really wanted to break down some misconceptions and share our thoughts in this episode!
In today’s conversation, we’re discussing the concept of ‘moving confidently’, and what exercise safety in pelvic health looks like. We don’t believe there’s any such thing as bad exercise or movement. Sometimes, you just need proper guidance and understanding of YOUR body.
Health and wellness should never be treated as a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Your unique goals should be taken into consideration, and you should be treated as the whole person that you are - not just what your symptoms are!
Whether you’re pregnant, freshly postpartum, or in another season of life completely, you CAN be equipped with the knowledge to help you exercise safely & joyfully. As pelvic health therapists, we’ll get to the root cause, and help you start moving confidently again!!
In this episode, we’re covering:
- Real life patient stories in our practices
- Taking the ‘whole person’ into account vs. just their symptoms
- The concept that your health is individualized & shouldn’t be treated with a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach
- Realizing that you may have more (or less) capacity for certain activities, depending on the season of life you’re in
- What to keep in mind when you’re newly postpartum & cleared for exercise again
- Getting comfortable with *really* knowing your body so you can do what you love & confidently live your life
- The often overlooked importance of pelvic health assessments & treatment
