If you're preparing for a hysterectomy, you may have spent plenty of time researching the surgery itself. But…what about preparing your body before the procedure?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into why pelvic floor "prehab" can be one of THE most valuable steps you take before surgery. It truly can help you feel more confident, informed, and supported throughout your recovery, too!

If you’ve had years of pelvic pain, endometriosis, adenomyosis, or painful period, addressing these patterns beforehand is super important. Learning proper breathing strategies + understanding what recovery will actually look like will help you go into surgery with tools that support healing from day one.

Recovery isn't just about resting - it’s about healing intentionally. Whether you're preparing for your own hysterectomy or supporting someone who is, knowing your body + working with a pelvic floor therapist before and after surgery can help set the stage for a smoother recovery!
