Welcome to Pints & Pelvic Floors: The Podcast. In Episode 65 I continued our two part series on when & why you should see a pelvic floor therapist during your pregnancy - this time for reactive care. 

When a patient comes into pelvic floor therapy reactively (i.e. as a result of pain or symptoms) we have plenty of things to assess & treat to keep them as comfortable and mobile as possible during pregnancy.

Common symptoms or areas we treat during pregnancy:

• Pubic symphysis pain and sacroiliac (SI) joint pain
• Pelvic floor tightness and pain
• Pelvic floor weakness including heaviness sensations and urinary leakage due to stress or urge 
• Low back, hips, abdominal weakness
• Breathing
• Upper back discomfort from changes at the chest during pregnancy
• Any other issues head to toe that may pop up

If you didn’t get to pelvic therapy before delivery and are just now finding us, don’t worry! You are still welcome here!! If you have not delivered yet or aren’t even to the phase of trying to conceive but these methods intrigue you, give us a call!
