In this deeply informative and encouraging episode, Kelly Dean is joined once again by physical therapist Christina Trautman to explore the critical importance of core and pelvic floor care during pregnancy—not just after. Together, they shed light on why prenatal support is often overlooked, and how proactive care can radically change the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
Don’t wait until postpartum to seek help—pregnancy is the best time to begin.
You don’t need symptoms to benefit from care—prevention is powerful.
A supported core improves birth outcomes, postpartum healing, and emotional regulation.
Education and alignment should be part of standard prenatal care.
Even one visit or one online course can be transformational.
This episode is for first-time moms, fifth-time moms, and every birth worker committed to changing the narrative from reactive recovery to intentional preparation.
