This was one of many hikes @dave.strengthandkindness and I enjoyed during our trip to @zionnps last fall. Anytime I’m out hiking, I definitely end up having thoughts such as these… If I was worried about peeing my pants, I probably wouldn’t have done this hike. If I experienced urgency really frequently, I probably wouldn’t have done this hike. If I was struggling with hip, low back, or pelvic pain, I probably wouldn’t have done this hike. If I felt weak or didn’t trust my body’s strength and resilience, I probably wouldn’t have done this hike. If I had prolapse symptoms with normal daily tasks, I probably wouldn’t have done this hike. Pelvic symptoms are no joke. Feeling limited or missing out on things you love because of these symptoms IS 👏🏻 NOT👏🏻 WORTH IT 👏🏻 Especially when there are pelvic floor therapists out here ready to help you get better and reach ALL of your goals. ❤️ Tired of pelvic floor symptoms getting in the way of your LIFE and all the ADVENTURE that’s out there? DM me “STRONG MAMA” to talk more about how to ditch the pelvic symptoms, and get back to LIVING fully and without fear. You are worth it, Mama! ✨ #strongmama #healthymama #livingfully #livingfearlessly #pelvichealthawareness #pelvichealthgoals #adventurenthusiasts #adventuremamas #outdoorsygirl #outdoorsywomen #pelvichealth #pelvicfloorhealth #inspiremovement

It’s ok to talk to your partner about what’s going on with your pelvic floor. 💬 In fact — I encourage it! If you’re in a trusted and secure relationship, and something is going on “down there” having support in the healing process is ESSENTIAL ❤️ It really is the difference between feeling hopeful, supported and encouraged in your healing vs. Feeling embarrassed, guilty, or broken and never getting the help you need to overcome your symptoms When you feel supported, healing happens ✨ #pelvichealth #morethanexercise #biopsychosocial #holisitchealth #pelvichealthgoals #pregnancypostpartum #perinatalhealth #communicationisthekey

Meet Emily✨ Emily and I worked together virtually for a 3 month training block with the intention of preparing her for another pregnancy by: #1) Creating and supporting a consistent strength training routine that meshed well with her busy schedule as a mom, working full time.⏱️💪🏼 #2) Keep her feeling good and navigate pain, to prepare for another pregnancy, and support her goals to remain active through it.👏🏻 #3) To help her gain awareness and coordination in her core and pelvic floor, to support and kickstart her longer term goal of achieving a VBAC in the future.🤰 Low and behold, Emily ended up finding out she was pregnant DURING our training block, so she ended up doing all of this during her first trimester!❤️ She stayed consistent, got stronger, and gained so much awareness of her core and pelvic floor for this pregnancy to kickstart preparation for her next birth.✨ I’m so proud of the strength and confidence she has gained to support a strong and active pregnancy with baby #2!🥰 Are you a mama looking for more guidance on preparing for pregnancy, exercise + pelvic health during pregnancy, preparing for birth, and returning to ALL the things you love postpartum without fear or pelvic symptoms getting in the way? DM me “INSPIRED” so you can go into your pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery feeling strong, capable and confident!💕 #inspiremovement #clientwins #pelvichealthgoals #pelvicfloorpt #pelvicfloorphysio #pelvichealthcoach #strongmama #mamaswholift #activemama #postpartumrecovery #postcsectionfitness #pregnancyprehab #prepareforpregnancy #activepregnancy
How to use the Pelvic Floor Squeeze alongs more effectively. The pelvic Floor squeeze alongs have become rather popular. We know that we should be doing something to strengthen our pelvic floor. We are told to do our squeezes every day. But it’s so boooorrriiiing. So my squeeze alongs to music make it so much more fun. BUT….. what if you could do them even more effectively. We are never actually taught HOW to do a pelvic floor squeeze. There is a technique which could be a game changer for you. I am going to teach you this. There are also some other things you could be doing to make these squeezes even more effective. Too much to explain here. So come along and learn more. It is live, on instagram only, on Tuesday the 7th of November at 10AM. I will leave the live on my profile for you to watch on replay. BUT if you are there live, everyone who turns up live will be able to get a month of the membership free. ONLY if you are live tho! So pop it in your diary, make sure you are following me on instagram and you have the app open at the right time and you will get a notification to join me live. #dryknickers #pelvicfloorsqueezealongwithkaren #PostnatalHealth #PelvicFloorFitness #MomsFitness #KegelExercises #StrongAfterChildbirth #PostpartumStrength #CoreRecovery #HealthyMama #PelvicFloorWorkout #MomLifeBalance #ReclaimYourStrength #StayActiveMama #WellnessAfterBaby #FitnessJourney #BodyAfterBaby #PostpartumRecovery #MindfulMovement #EmpowerYourPelvicFloor #StayStrongMoms #StrengthFromWithin #PelvicHealthGoals 🌟
What is ONE action you can take today that is going to keep you moving toward your goals? ✨ Get the workout in. Drink the water. Eat the protein. Take time for yourself to just relax and breathe (even 5 minutes). Go to bed on time. Put your phone away. Make the appointment. Hire the coach. Call the friend. Book the trip. Have the conversation. Whatever it is, TAKING CONSISTENT ACTION is what leads to the change, results, and outcomes we desire. One of my roles is to support my clients in taking necessary actions consistently overtime that help them overcome pain and pelvic floor symptoms, feel their best, and accomplish their goals. It’s so rewarding, and I couldn’t be more grateful to get to support them in this way. 💕 So I’ll ask again — What are your goals and what is ONE ACTION you can take today to move closer to achieving them? Share in the comments or write it down for yourself so you’re motivated to do what you need to do today!! 👏🏻 You got this! 👏🏻 #pelvichealthgoals #strengthgoals #pelvicfloorrehab #pregnancy #postpartum #birthprep #mamagoals #womenshealth #dreambig #takeaction #livefearlessly #womensupportingwomen

Think back to any healthcare provider or fitness professional that you have worked with. Who are the ones that really helped you achieve your goals and feel your best once again? Was it the one who provided you with a diagnosis or issue, but didn’t give you an actual plan or solution? Was it the one who told things like “you have to live with this” or “you probably shouldn’t ever ___ again”.? Probably not. Those scenarios just leave us feeling frustrated and defeated. 😔 It’s completely different when someone first listens, and then approaches your care with solutions, encouragement and a clear plan of action. ✅ When you are actually guided on the journey of healing, you start noticing progress, and feel encouraged to keep going! Those are the providers that make a REAL difference in our lives and help us achieve our goals. 👏🏻 Find providers who celebrate your wins BIG with you, and then help you create new goals so you keep making progress. 🎉 What kind of care are you receiving? Cling onto the providers who champion you, and truly guide you through the process of getting to where you want to go. When you find these people, you will feel empowered and capable instead of broken — and that’s when the magic happens ✨ One of my KEY pillars is to INSPIRE all of my clients — to fill others with courage and purpose. To move someone to action. To guide. 💪🏼 Looking for that kind of support on your pelvic health journey?! DM me “EMPOWERED” to talk more about how to get you where you want to be 💕 #individualizedprogram #movewithintention #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #healthcareforwomen #pelvichealthphysicaltherapy #wellnesscareforwomen #strongermama #strongerpregnancy #strongerpostpartum #pelvichealthsolutions #inspiremovement #mamagoals #mamastrengthgoals #iowamama #midwestmama #womenwhostrengthtrain #mamaswhostrengthtrain #trainyourpelvicfloor #trainwithintention #pelvichealthgoals #healthcareforwomen #supportingwomen #supportingwomenshealth

1, 2 , 3 , Ta-dah ⭐️ Sometimes things take longer than expected. I love this tree, every year it seems to be the last one to go into full blossom. It says to me, I am going to do it but in by own time, and when i'm ready BOOM, you'll know it! ⭐️ Do you feel that you will never get to where you want to be. It's taking ages to achieve your goals? ⭐️ Like the tree, just keep going bit by bit and you'll get there. ⭐️ A little Tuesday reassurance for you. Don't give up, keep going. ⭐️ #beauthenticbeyou #forwardisforward #showup #healthgoals #pelvichealthgoals #workgoals #workinprogress #onestepatatime #keepgoing #yourgoals #womenshealth #workingwithwomen #howcanihelpyou #completefitnessandwellbeing #holisticcorerestore(r) #fiveoakgreen #paddockwood #tunbridgewells
