Women’s Pelvic Health

When it comes to pelvic health, most women have a complicated relationship and often hesitate to seek help due to various reasons.

Posture and body alignment during daily tasks, breathing patterns, and our environment may all be playing a role in your overall pelvic wellness.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Support

Pregnancy

Throughout pregnancy, the body changes on a cellular and global level—it only makes sense that the pelvis makes changes too.

At Rooted Pelvic Wellness you can work to relieve aches and pains, alleviate common symptoms, and feel empowered and informed throughout your entire pregnancy. We can help to prevent or minimize postpartum issues, prepare your body and mind for delivery, and become more in-tune during such a beautifully complex process.

Postpartum Recovery

Your body has just experienced a significant change and your pelvic floor and mind have been stretched to its maximum. Pelvic awareness training is crucial for every women’s recovery after giving birth. Whether you’ve had a vaginal or cesarean delivery, special attention must be given to this area to promote healing.

At Rooted Pelvic Wellness, healing looks like: lengthening and strengthening pelvic floor muscles, staying attune to your postpartum mental health, learning how to have pleasurable sex again, and safely returning to daily activities and fitness.

Nervous System Regulation

Sensory Processing is the ability to register and interpret sensory information in your surrounding environment (including your own body.) It is the way your brain receives, organizes and responds to the surrounding sensory input so you may behave in a meaningful & consistent manner. During major changes in your body, such as pregnancy, postpartum recover, or sustained medical illnesses, the way you interpret sensory information can change.

Have you ever heard of the term Mom Rage? Often times there is an underlying dysfunction with your ability to process all of the new sensory information. Our body and mind is so smart that your sensory system naturally heightens for you to be aware of your new tiny human. Then you add on the normal day-to-day sensory information, and sometimes your system becomes overloaded and fails—aka Mom Rage.

At Rooted Pelvic Wellness, our goal is to help you recognize which sensory areas you may be more vulnerable and use that awareness to develop a plan to meet your sensory needs. We will help to teach you strategies to maintain a functional sensory state and what to do if you are in a sensory crisis.
