This is how we picnic: Me: Mid-bite of celery. + Ridley: Mid-wipe of snot 🤧🤢. It’s real life over here. — Also in love with this spring weather that has finally come to Texas. #canigetanamen • • • #underthewomanhood #underthehoodpt #springisspringing #picnicdate I talk about nutrition a lot with my clients and how it affects bladder, bowel and reproductive health. This is a truth we cannot ignore. As the @the.holistic.psychologist states - If we aren’t eating healthy it can lead to anxiety/depression/mood disorders and with these impairments comes a physiological induced mismanagement of pain, inflammatory conditions (of the gut, joints, reproductive organs, etc). — Have any of you altered your diet to try and manage psychological and/or physical conditions with success? — #Repost @the.holistic.psychologist ・・・ Nutritional psychiatry is an emerging field that is desperately needed. Inside your gut are trillions of microbes. These microbes digest the food you eat. They create neurotransmitters which travel from the gut to the brain via the gut-brain axis. The gut and the brain are in constant communication. When we eat foods that damage the gut, over time the microbes get out of balance. Tiny holes are made in the gut known as leaky gut. This allows the bacteria to enter the blood stream. It can cause inflammation and affect the immune system. It can lead to depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. If the inflammation is chronic, it can affect the brain. Neuroinflammation is cited in psychiatric disorders as well as neurodegenerative disorders. Food is a powerful intervention. If you’ve used food to improve your mental health share with the community in comments #selfhealers 🧠Study linked in stories🧠 My friend, Jeanice @mypelvicfloormuscles, makes the pelvic health educational videos of my dreams! Watch and read the caption. And go follow if you’re not already. ✨ #Repost @mypelvicfloormuscles ・・・ Is running safe during pregnancy? ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Yes for some. No for others. ⁣ ⁣ ACOG’s guidelines permit running as follows:⁣ ❌ Don’t have any warning signs ⁣⁣⁣ ❌ Don’t have a high risk pregnancy⁣⁣⁣ ✅Were an experienced runner before getting pregnant⁣⁣⁣ ✅Get your healthcare providers approval⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ During running, the pelvic floor functions kind of like a hammock. It needs to have stiffness to support the organs but also some “give” to bounce and absorb the impact. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ACOG’s exercise guidelines⁣⁣⁣ ✅The CDC recommends that pregnant women get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week. ⁣ ✅Examples of moderate-intensity aerobic activity include brisk walking and general gardening.⁣ ✅If you are new to exercise, start out slowly and gradually increase your activity. Begin with as little as 5 minutes a day. Gradually increase to 30 min/day. ⁣ ✅If you were very active before pregnancy, you can keep doing the same workouts with your providers approval...⁣ ✅ If you are an experienced runner, jogger, or racquet-sports player, you may be able to keep doing these activities during pregnancy. Discuss with your provider. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Avoid⁣ ❌While pregnant, avoid activities that put you at increased risk of injury. (See ACOG website for specifics).⁣⁣⁣ ❌ Joints—The hormones made during pregnancy cause the ligaments that support your joints to become relaxed. This makes the joints more mobile and at risk of injury. Avoid jerky, bouncy, or high-impact motions that can increase your risk of being hurt.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Warning signs⁣ ❌Stop exercising and call your provider if you have any of these signs or symptoms:⁣⁣⁣ * Bleeding from the vagina⁣⁣⁣ * Feeling dizzy or faint⁣⁣⁣ * Shortness of breath before starting exercise⁣⁣⁣ * Chest pain⁣⁣⁣ * Headache⁣⁣⁣ * Muscle weakness⁣⁣⁣ * Calf pain or swelling⁣⁣⁣ * Regular, painful contractions of the uterus⁣⁣⁣ * Fluid leaking from the vagina⁣⁣⁣ 🍦TAMPONS🍦 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ If tampons feel like you’re putting an actual push pop up ya girl (in other words, it’s painful/uncomfortable/impossible), there may be some pelvic floor muscle dysfunction going on. ⠀⠀ 〰️ ⠀⠀ This can stem from many different things - behavior, knowledge of anatomy, pelvic organ position, pelvic pain, trauma, etc. ⠀⠀ 〰️ ⠀⠀ If you can relate to this, the good news is that a pelvic health physical therapist can help you figure out what is going on and typically resolve it, so you can pass on the pads! 👋🏻 ⠀⠀ 〰️ ⠀⠀ If you need help finding someone, try searching here: www.pelvicrehab.com. And if you can’t find anybody, message me! If you live in Texas, I’d be happy to see you - I not only provide in-person sessions, but also virtual/telehealth visits as well! ♥️ ⠀⠀ 〰️ ⠀⠀ 🎥: @pen15show thank you for being funny about real things 😁 ⠀⠀ 〰️ ⠀⠀ #underthewomanhood #underthehoodpt #pelvichealth #pelvicwellness #womenshealth #tampons #pelvicpain This is a wonderful representation of how incredibly complex and connected our bodies are - from HEAD to TOE and everything in between! Look at how the head moves when the pelvis is shifted. Fascinating, right?! 🤓 Read Nicole’s great caption for this video below 👇🏻 - I couldn’t agree more! #Repost @nicolecozeandpt ・・・ My patients think I’m NUTS for working all over their body for their #pelvicfloordysfunction ... but DANG ... Everything is connected! 🤗🤗 ~ Love this video of @boneman.pro’s awesome skeleton so we figured we would feature it for #FASCIAnistaFriday!!! 💀💃🏻 ~ On #FASCIAnistaFriday we give some practical connective tissue self care tips and answer YOUR questions! If you have a question for us use the hashtag #FASCIAnistaFriday for your chance to have your question (and our answer!) featured on our Instagram. 👏🙌 ~ Today’s question is one from LOTS of people...how will treating (random body part) help my pelvic floor? ~ The answer is...fascia! Anatomy books show everything as neat separate muscles, bones, organs, ligaments, etc. But all of those things are actually bound together by fascia! In fact in our anatomy classes in PT school we were instructed to cut away or “clean up” the fascia so we could see each structure as separate. ✂️😱 ~ The pelvis is a unique crossroads for so many fascial attachments! As you can see in the video, your pelvis is linked all the way up to the head, and though you can’t see it—all the way down to the toes. ~ Long story short, if your pelvic PT isn’t assessing and treating at all the other parts of your body, they may be missing a key reason why you have pelvic pain or symptoms.

I’m going to finally share what each of you shared with me to tell those who face insecurities about our bodies, specifically our vulvas, in my stories today! 🎉 . A wonderful account to follow is @the.vulva.gallery to help us understand that we come in allllll the shapes, sizes and colors, and all are uniquely beautiful. .... #Repost @the.vulva.gallery ・・・ They always say you have to love yourself, because otherwise you can’t love anybody else. I don’t believe that’s true. I think you can love others very deeply even if you don’t love yourself. However, when you don’t love yourself it’s really hard to believe that anyone else could actually love you - whether it’s a friend, a loved one or a family member. While feeling loved (and believing that someone truly loves you for who you are) is worth the world. I’m dedicating today’s post to self love. Loving yourself is something that is so difficult for so many of us, living in a world that pushes us to be ‘perfect’ and that shows us a certain (impossible) ‘beauty ideal’. What if we all decided to let go of these ‘standards’ and embrace the F out of our amazing bodies, appreciate them for their functionality and the fact that they can give us so much (pleasure, warmth, dreams) besides beauty or physical ability. Let’s dedicate this day to loving ourselves unconditionally ♥️ . . . #thevulvagallery #vulva #selflove #loveyourself
