I am enrolled in pelvic floor physical therapy. At first, the exercises were difficult for my vagina and abdomen to do. Now, they’ve hit a point where they are hard for my normal muscles. While that is upsetting because the movements are all very simple and with almost no weight or no weight at all – nothing near even a single normal exercise I used to do in workouts – yet they are quite difficult for my main muscles… thighs, shoulders, etc., it is still a good thing that I am now exercising all of these muscles again.
However, it also has me wonder if the focus has been removed a bit too much from my pelvic floor and moved too much toward general movement. This shift has happened since I began with a different physical therapist. And both sessions with her wet harder on my body as a whole than any of my previous sessions with the original physical therapist (who moved, by the way). Hmm… I guess I just need to bring this up to her next time. Because I imagine my pelvic floor is getting stronger – it feels like some of these exercises have gotten easier, ones I was already doing before the therapist change. But it feels like the focus now has been shifted to things outside of what was originally the focus, my pelvic floor muscles. So, yeah, I’ll ask about that.
God, guide us clearly, please. Show us how following your will can be easy and beautiful and powerful, please. Grant us this path forward financially, please. Help us to love and to be loving with one another. Please, keep us safe and well and together. In your name, I pray. Amen.
