Hey Mama, Your Pelvic Floor Deserves Attention!

If you’re here, chances are you’re pregnant or recently postpartum, looking for answers about the changes happening in your body. Maybe you’re wondering what’s normal, what’s not, and how to feel strong and confident again. Well, you’re in the right place!

At Little Antz, we specialize in helping moms prevent and heal pelvic floor dysfunctions like leaking, pelvic pain, and diastasis recti. Let’s break it down!

What is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist?

A Pelvic Floor PT is a licensed specialist trained in movement science and pelvic health. Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles forming a supportive “hammock” at the base of your pelvis. These muscles support your bladder, uterus, and rectum, play a crucial role in core strength, and even affect your breathing.

8 Reasons Every Mom Should See a Pelvic Floor PT

A glimpse inside during pregnancy

1️⃣ Understand Your Changing Body

Pregnancy and postpartum bring major shifts to your core and pelvic floor. Learning how these changes impact your movement, strength, and recovery can help you navigate them with confidence.

2️⃣ Stay Pain-Free During Pregnancy

From pelvic girdle pain to hip and back discomfort, I help moms stay as comfortable and mobile as possible during pregnancy—so you can enjoy this special time!

3️⃣ Strengthen & Protect Your Core

Prevent diastasis recti (abdominal separation) and regain core control with targeted exercises that are safe and effective.

4️⃣ Learn How to Push Effectively

Did you know pushing strategies can impact how smoothly your delivery goes? Learn proper breathing techniques, birthing positions, and ways to reduce tearing during labor.

5️⃣ Prevent & Treat Leaking

Urinary leakage postpartum is common—but NOT normal! A Pelvic Floor PT helps you regain bladder control so you can run, jump, and sneeze without worry.

6️⃣ Improve Bowel Health

Struggling with constipation or hemorrhoids? Your pelvic floor plays a role! I’ll help you optimize function so you can go without straining or discomfort.

7️⃣ Accelerate Postpartum Recovery

Pelvic PT isn’t just about "fixing" problems—it’s about helping you feel strong, supported, and confident in your body again. I offer early postpartum strategies to set you up for success.

8️⃣ Build a Relationship with a Trusted Expert

Having a go-to pelvic health specialist means you’ll always have support for your recovery journey—whether it’s for postpartum healing, future pregnancies, or beyond.
