Pelvic Floor Relaxations are Just as Important as Kegels
Kegels are often highlighted as the most important, but pelvic floor relaxation is equally essential. Like any muscle group, the pelvic floor must be both strong and capable of moving through its full range of motion, and our pelvic floor PTs can help you connect with your pelvic floor muscles.
Breathing and Your Pelvic Floor
At Foundation Pelvic Health’s Boston clinic, our pelvic floor physical therapists talk a lot about breathing. Your breath isn’t just about getting oxygen — it’s a tool for pelvic health, core strength, and whole-body stability. That’s why our pelvic floor PTs spend time helping you connect your breathing with your movement. When your core canister is working in harmony, you feel stronger, more supported, and more in control. Let’s break it down and talk about why it’s such an important part of pelvic health!
What Does Getting Cleared at 6-weeks Postpartum Actually Mean?
While a 6-week OB clearance is important, it doesn't assess pelvic floor strength, core function, or readiness to return to activity. That’s where pelvic floor PT comes in, providing individualized care to help you rebuild strength, manage symptoms, and safely return to movement. At Foundations Pelvic Health in Boston, we specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy to support women through postpartum recovery.
