Dr. Christina Prevett // #ICEPelvic // www.ptonice.com  In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, #ICEPelvic division leader Christina Prevett Addresses the fear of exercising during pregnancy and how it can hinder the care provided to pregnant individuals. Christina shares that she has received messages from pregnant individuals expressing their concerns and uncertainties about exercising while pregnant. The fear of exercise causing harm is often the primary concern that arises when someone discovers they are pregnant. Christina emphasizes that this fear is not supported by scientific literature and believes that removing this barrier can lead to a significant shift in the way pregnant individuals are cared for. She argues that the medical system has contributed to this fear and stress the importance of reframing the conversation around exercise during pregnancy. Instead of focusing on the potential harm, Christina suggests highlighting the health-promoting aspects of exercise and removing any obstacles that may prevent pregnant individuals from engaging in physical activity. Christina also points out that society does not have a movement problem, but rather a lack of movement problem, which is often observed during pregnancy. She highlights that the fear of harm is one of the factors contributing to the decrease in exercise during pregnancy. Overall, Christina emphasizes the need to address and alleviate the fear of exercise during pregnancy in order to improve the care provided to pregnant individuals. By reframing the conversation and focusing on the health benefits of exercise, pregnant individuals can be empowered to continue exercising during pregnancy and set up for success.
