Happy World Breastfeeding Week 2024

World Breastfeeding week is always near and dear to my heart, but this year has even greater significance as it marks 8 months of exclusively breastfeeding my twins! Breastfeeding was always important to me with my singletons, and after getting pregnant with twins I feared I wouldn’t be able to produce enough or be able to handle the stress of feeding two. I saw exclusive breastfeeding rates for mothers of multiples are significantly less than those with single babies, reported only between 8-22%.

This year I want to share what has worked for us to help encourage other moms of multiples to pursue breastfeeding and to know there is hope for exclusively breastfeeding their multiples! Head over to the blog to check out the twin breastfeeding tips I am passing down from my own journey.

I take great pride in my twin breastfeeding journey (so far) and feel blessed to have had this experience. It has not all been easy but it has all been worth it. Did you breastfeed your multiples? If you’ve breastfed multiples, what’s one piece of advice you would pass on to other future moms of multiples?

HAPPY OLYMPICS 2024! 🇺🇸

I hope you all are just as excited for and invested in the 2024 Olympics as I am! I can’t get enough of cheering on our country and athletes to victory to in ALL the sports - some I honestly didn’t even know existed! I love the Olympics as a chance for the world to celebrate displays of pure athleticism and the potential of the human body and mind with dedication and training.

Fortunately for me, I don’t have to wait every 4 years to watch athleticism in this capacity. In fact, I get to see it weekly, daily, hourly in my career working with pregnant and postpartum women.

Did you know studies have actually shown that the energy expenditure of pregnant women in their final weeks of pregnancy are comparable to some of the most intense athletes in the midst of the extreme endurance challenges? And that doesn’t even hit upon the strength and endurance it takes to push on through sleep deprivation, breastfeeding fatigue, hormonal imbalances, and so much more.

So moms, as you watch these Olympians in awe from your couch (or floor if you have little little ones) thinking “there is no way I could ever do that”, go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. They are amazing and can do hard things and so are YOU! 💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿

Happiest of Mother’s Days to all of the Mamas out there!

As a mom of four little ones 4 and under, I know how hard it can be to get that exercise in on a regular basis. If you wait to be alone, in your fanciest workout attire, with all the equipment, and a full hour to focus on just you, well you might be waiting forever.

So this is your reminder from your physical therapist and fellow busy mom that SOME is better than NONE.

No matter where you’re at or what’s going on, no matter how many babies you have draped on and around you, no matter if you have 15 minutes or two hours to dedicate, taking the time to move your body will not only help YOU feel better physically, mentally, emotionally, but it will also set the foundation for your children to love and nurture their own bodies as well.

Are you having trouble prioritizing your own body postpartum? Are you needing help finding ways to fit exercise into your new daily routine? Are you needing a partner in accountability? Life Changes Physical Therapy is here to help! Reach out today to learn how we can help you get back on track and feeling like your best self again.

To Kegel or Not to Kegel…That is the Question
Kegels are a HOT topic right now in the pelvic floor world. Some swear by them. Some absolutely despise them. Check out the blog to find out the truth about kegels!

Lifechangesphysicaltherapy.com/the-truth-about-kegels/

Just like certain pains and symptoms can indicate pelvic floor tightness, there are also a pattern of symptoms that can point us toward pelvic floor weakness!

Pelvic floor weakness can happen from time, trauma, or even chronic over-activity of the pelvic floor. Symptoms like heaviness, pressure, leaking may demonstrate a need for more strength in the pelvic floor and core musculature, especially if these symptoms worsen with more activity and more time upright.

Some of the signs and symptoms of over-active and weak pelvic floor may actually overlap, therefore it is essential to see a pelvic floor therapist trained in assessing and treating this complex area of the body. Thankfully, with the help of a pelvic floor physical therapist, all of these symptoms can be improved or resolved completely!

So what are you waiting for? If you are experiencing any of the symptoms above or are concerned you may have pelvic floor weakness, schedule your evaluation today!

Ever wondered if your pain, pressure, or other symptoms could be related to your pelvic floor? Have you tried traditional physical therapy for back or hip pain with little success? Your symptoms may actually be related to pelvic floor tightness or tension!

When a patient reports or demonstrates one or more of these signs/symptoms, we know increased activity of the pelvic floor muscles may be at play!

Thankfully, there is a lot we can do to help an overactive pelvic floor including breath retraining, coordination exercises, stretching, strengthening through a full range, addressing stress or other triggers of holding tension, and more!

If any of the above signs or symptoms sound like you and you’re ready to get rid of them for good, reach out to Life Changes Physical Therapy to make a change today!
