Prenatal pelvic floor therapy can ease pressure, reduce incontinence, and prep your body for birth.
You’re not just preparing for birth — you’re prepping for life after it.
Your body’s going through massive changes.
More pressure, more relaxin (the hormone), more stretching, less stability.
And while growing a tiny human is incredible, it can also wreck your pelvic floor if you’re not proactive.
That’s where pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy comes in — and no, it’s not just about Kegels.
💪 1. Prepares Your Body for Labour
A well-trained pelvic floor knows when to contract — but more importantly, when to let go.
Your physio can teach you:
- How to breathe + relax your pelvic floor during pushing
- How to avoid bearing down in ways that strain your core or perineum
- How to minimize tearing and optimize positioning for delivery
🌬️ 2. Reduces Pregnancy-Related Pain
Pelvic floor therapy can help with:
- Pelvic girdle pain
- SI joint discomfort
- Tailbone tension
- Round ligament pain
- Lower back or hip instability
With hands-on release, breathwork, and movement coaching, we keep you mobile and supported through all three trimesters.
💧 3. Prevents or Reduces Leaking
Leaking pee when you sneeze, laugh, or run isn’t just a “postpartum problem.”
It can show up during pregnancy, and if ignored, it often gets worse after.
Pelvic physio teaches you how to control pressure, build strength safely, and avoid habits that overload your bladder system.
🤸♀️ 4. Supports Core + Diastasis Management
As your belly grows, your abs stretch — but that doesn’t mean your core has to disappear.
Pelvic physio helps:
- Minimize diastasis recti
- Keep your core and pelvic floor coordinated
- Set you up for faster, safer postpartum recovery
🧠 5. Builds Confidence and Body Awareness
There’s so much fear and noise around birth.
Pelvic floor therapy helps you feel connected to your body again — with real tools, real strategy, and real strength.
At YFS, we’re here for every stage of pregnancy — and beyond.
No fluff, no outdated advice — just smart, evidence-informed care for bodies that are doing the most.
