Healing Your Body After Pregnancy & Beyond | with Guest Sarah Nichols, PTA

What you don't know CAN hurt you!   "If only I knew then what
I know now" . . .  I find myself saying that so often about my
body and my health! Thanks to my friend, my physical therapist, and
our guest on this episode I'm finding out that so many of my back
problems  could be stemming from poor pregnancy and c-section
recovery.  If you've given birth, intend to, or know someone
 who will be, listen up because the way you take care of your
body AFTER pregnancy can have LONG LASTING effects and imbalances
that may be causing you a lot of trouble now.  But don't
despair, imbalances can be fixed and damage can be repaired with
patient, consistent work.   Our guest today is Sarah Nichols,
who was a licensed Physical Therapy Assistant for 13 years and has
now made it her mission to educate and assist women in getting
thier bodies back.  She loves to teach about improving your
foundational strength, and getting to the root cause of physical
problems and pain instead of just managing symptoms.  She has
a genuine desire to help woman during pregnancy and post
becasue, as she says, we're not taught how to protect our bodies
and get our pelvis strong again which causes future problems in the
lower back, hips and knees.  Her favorite body part to work
with is the spine because that is usually where our issues start,
that's certainly the case for me!    And just a quick
update - I've been working really hard on re-building my own
foundational strength, and improving imbalances with Sarah.
 Our consistent work has paid off and while I have back issues
that will never go away, my functioning and mobility has greatly
improved and I've started getting back into walking and lifting
weights.  The knowledge I now have and the foundational
strength I've gained will keep me on the right track and feeling
good!  If you're struggling like I was, my best advice is find
the RIGHT helpers, be consistent in your exercises and treatments,
and give it enough time!   I hope this episode give you hope
if you're struggling.  Your body is amazing and incredible
abilites to heal itself if you give it the right help!
