    This was me after my first birth! Delivered her OP, with terrible back labor, 3.5 hours of pushing, and pain/discomfort in my sacrum laying supine. Now 5 months postpartum after my 3rd and a much different birth story, curious where my pelvis is now??? But so grateful I will be able to help other moms with these new tools!

    How long would you tell a client to leave the rolled highlighter under sacrum?

    1. Lynn Schulte says:

      Just 5-10 mins is enough to make changes. As long as it doesn’t cause pain!!!

    do you usually have a client perform the home program daily 5-10 minutes and how long do they keep up the treatment? Is it something you find clients need to do 1x weekly for several months to maintain? or does that depend upon how long they have been in this position? do you tend to find this in clients many years post birth?

    1. Lynn Schulte says:

      Have them do it for a week and see how they feel and when they come back into see you you can reassess to see if the bones are still in that pattern or not. If so then most likely there is something deeper being held in the tissues keeping it stuck.

    I’ve had a client tell me she felt like she wasn’t getting all of her poop out. Not because it was hard or she was constipated. I haven’t yet assessed her pelvis so it could be many causes (prolapse included), but I’m curious if you’ve heard that from your clients who are stuck in this pattern because the EAS can’t close fully? Maybe it feels like the EAS is stuck open as if more poop was there but not coming out?

    1. Lynn Schulte says:

      YES!! If the sacrum is in flexion it is pulling on the inferior aspect of the EAS so it can create more of an open EAS which can cause them not to be able to finish the BM. Sacral flexion definitely impacts EAS closure ability. INferior tension in the lower half of the EAS can also be indicative of the sacral flexion pattern.
