I am so excited to share this fascinating case study today that brought up a surprising connection between my client’s abdominal tension during pregnancy and a past injury in her lower extremities. It caught me by surprise as my normal release techniques were not making effective changes, but I got curious – and the results were beautiful!

The body is incredible in its ability to tell us when something is not right. It is our job to listen and find the connection – in this case the connection was between a past left ankle fracture and persistent abdominal tension. The tension was keeping the body in restriction and may have led to a challenge in labor and delivery.

Listen to this case to learn:

• What you can do when pain or tension returns even after a release
• How to stay curious when tissues don’t respond as expected
• What to reassess after a release
• How past injuries can silently influence uterine mobility, ligament tension, and even fetal positioning

Treating the whole body—not just the area of dysfunction—is essential to your pelvic health practice. Whether you're a therapist, bodyworker, or clinician working with pregnant clients, this episode offers eye-opening insights into fascial relationships and introduces techniques taught in Lynn’s Holistic Treatment of the Pregnant Body course. A must-listen for anyone ready to elevate their hands-on skills and deepen their understanding of the body's subtle but powerful connections.
