A Note From The Instructor...

Hey Postpartum Pro-

Let’s be honest, if you’re like me, I used to dread working with clients with a prolapse who wanted to get back to activity.  More often than not, they were nervous about every exercise, it was hard to find steady progressions that didn’t stir up heaviness & lots of times, pelvic floor muscle training didn’t do a darn thing to help their symptoms!

It’s one thing trying to navigate symptoms with exercise progressions, but it’s another thing trying to help moms who are terrified about their prolapse!

I’ve met moms who have been flat-out-laughed-at for even thinking that running, lifting or HIIT were even a possibility in their future. Others are too afraid or embarrassed to ask for help from their provider because they think the conversation will ultimately end up focused on surgery & MESH (Yikes!)

Most women want to know if they can “fix” their prolapse & not have to have surgery, but what does that even mean?

I admit, the first time I heard about prolapse was when I was 23, a newbie physical therapist & it literally sounded like an alien was trying to exit a woman’s body.  

I was horrified.

Trying to be a “good PT,” I stuck with the kegel recommendations & what I was taught to do.  Some women got better, but I’ll be honest, most didn’t.

Fast forward to my own 2 deliveries, when to my surprise, I ended up with my own symptoms of POP, despite 2 C-sections.  NO ONE talks about the possibility of POP if you didn’t have a vaginal delivery, so I was shocked! There was ZERO advice in any research about returning to running, lifting or anything else.

I was willing to do ANYTHING to make my symptoms be predictable, tolerable or better yet, just plain go away.

I eventually realized that prolapse is complicated…& that's a good thing!

There’s LOTS of reasons moms can have prolapse symptoms, but at the same time, in many cases, there's a path forward for those of us who aren’t automatic surgical candidates.

Join me for this 60 minute masterclass where we’ll dive into WHY our understanding of POP can change how we approach return to activity.  

We’ll unpack how we absolutely MUST take into consideration client fears about POP & the role in symptoms & reconsider whether it’s time to kick pelvic floor muscle strengthening to the curb…& try something new!

This Postpartum Pro Masterclass will revolutionize how you think about prolapse, your treatment & exercise progressions.  It will improve your confidence, reduce your frustration & you’ll be excited about working with these clients once again!

See you soon!
