The 150 Kegel Myth
😩 The 150 Kegel Myth 😩
Just found out a patient was told by her OBGYN to do 150 Kegels a day for postpartum rehab…instead of seeing a pelvic physical therapist. Shaking my head because postpartum recovery is about so much more than just Kegels!
Here’s what we assess in a postpartum evaluation:
Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength & Coordination
Abdominal Muscle Function (including diastasis recti)
Breathing Patterns
Posture & Alignment
Scar Tissue Mobility (from C-section or perineal tears)
Bladder & Bowel Function
Overall Core Stability
Pain Management (pelvic, back, hips, etc.)
Postpartum recovery is a complex process that requires a comprehensive approach. Don’t settle for just Kegels—get the full support you deserve! 🌸
