Pelvic Floor PT: What’s Normal, What’s Not & How to Heal After Birth | Lindsay Brunner, PT, DPT

Pelvic Floor PT: What’s Normal, What’s Not & How to Heal After Birth | Lindsay Brunner, PT, DPT

Have you ever been told that leaking when you sneeze, pelvic pressure, painful intimacy, or chronic back pain after having a baby is "just part of motherhood"? In this episode of the We Got You Mama Show, Carly Church sits down with pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapist Lindsay Bruner, PT, DPT, OCS, to uncover what every woman should know about pelvic floor health, postpartum recovery, and why so many moms are living with symptoms they don't have to accept. Lindsay explains what the pelvic floor actually is, how pregnancy and childbirth impact these important muscles, and why issues like urinary leakage, prolapse symptoms, constipation, lower back pain, hip pain, abdominal separation (diastasis recti), and pelvic tension are far more connected than most women realize. Together, Carly and Lindsay discuss: • What the pelvic floor does and why it matters • Signs of pelvic floor weakness vs. pelvic floor tension • Why urinary leakage is common—but not normal • The connection between pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain, and hip pain • Postpartum recovery timelines and what to realistically expect • When to seek help from a pelvic floor physical therapist • Returning to exercise safely after pregnancy and birth • Why healing and recovery are essential parts of motherhood One of the most powerful messages from this conversation is simple: Common does not equal normal. Just because many women experience symptoms after pregnancy doesn't mean they should suffer through them. Help is available, healing is possible, and it's never too late to seek support—even years after having your baby. Whether you're currently pregnant, newly postpartum, years into motherhood, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical education, reassurance, and empowering information that every family should hear.
