Melissa Sundberg, PT - Pelvic Physical Therapist

Specializing in pelvic health: pre/postpartum, bowel & bladder, prolapse, pain & sexual dysfunction.

A common misconception about pelvic physical therapy is that all it consists of is Kegel exercises. While pelvic floor muscle exercises are very important they are only ONE very small piece of the care provided by pelvic floor physical therapists. Other treatments utilize neuroscience, knowledge and adjustment of posture and body alignment, behavior retraining, down-training techniques, relaxation and breathing techniques, manual therapy including myofascial release, scar tissue/adhesion mobilization and release, bowel and bladder retraining, etc. Which treatment is used depends on the specific needs of each patient. These treatments are used as part of a team approach along with OBGYN, nurse midwives, colorectal, urogynecology, urology, gastroenterology, family practice among many other types of providers, to provide patients with multi-disciplinary comprehensive care.

“I finally stopped overthinking every workout.”

That sentence came up again and again in end-of-class evaluations from our last Postpartum STRONG group.

Before starting, many women told us they felt stuck:
– Unsure if exercises were helping or hurting
– Afraid to lift heavier
– Constantly wondering, “Am I doing this right?”

By the end of the class, something shifted. 💜
They didn’t just feel stronger — they trusted their body again.
They understood how to use their core and pelvic floor together.
They stopped second-guessing every squat, lift, or workout.

✨That’s what Postpartum STRONG is really about. ✨

➡️ Our next class starts January 20th

✔️ Led by an expert pelvic physical therapist
✔️Small, supportive group setting

"Absolutely worth the trip from the Kenai Peninsula. I was stressed out and assumed my appointments would be miserable. My first appointment relieved all the emotional stress and physical stress I was holding in. Nikki was very gracious. 10 Stars!"

I hear this every session:

“I finally understand how it’s all connected.”

“The explanations helped so much.”

“I feel confident exercising now.”

Postpartum exercise shouldn’t feel confusing.
You deserve to know why your body feels the way it does
and how to move without fear, pressure, or guessing.

Postpartum STRONG gives you step-by-step guidance + modifications that actually work.

January session is open — and you’re invited to join us.

Every round of this class reminds me just how powerful postpartum women are.

These three wins came straight from last Fall's participants—and they’re too good not to share:

1️⃣ “Zero leaks during my runs!”
She started the program stopping every mile, frustrated and embarrassed by the constant urge to p*e.
By Week 12- She ran her first 5K without a single symptom (& NO PADS!)

2️⃣ “My core feels stronger than before pregnancy.”
This mama came in feeling disconnected from her body, unsure if her abs would ever “work” the same again.
With focused breathwork, deep core training, and progressive strength work, she rebuilt a foundation that supports her through workouts, toddler-wrangling, and everyday life.
✨ “I didn’t realize strength could feel this good.”

3️⃣ “I didn’t realize how much pressure + tension I was holding… until it was gone.”
She thought heaviness, clenching, and fatigue were “normal” after having kids.
Once she learned how to coordinate her pelvic floor and core, the tension melted away—and so did the fear that something was wrong with her body.
Her whole posture, breathing, and confidence shifted.

💜 These wins aren’t rare.

They’re what happens when postpartum women get the education, support, and progressive training they’ve always deserved.

You can have wins like these, too.

You don’t need to be “fit enough,” “healed enough,” or “ready enough.”

You just need a starting point—and we’ll build everything else together.
💜 Next session begins January 20, 2026.💜

I can’t tell you how many patients come in saying, “My hip has hurt for months (or even years) and nothing seems to fix it.”

By the end of the evaluation, we often find that the pelvic floor is playing a big role in the discomfort.

The hip and pelvic floor share muscular pathways, nerve connections, and movement patterns—so when one area struggles, the other steps in to compensate.

✔️ Tight hip rotators, weak glutes, or limited mobility can lead to a pelvic floor that overworks or holds excess tension. And on the flip side, a pelvic floor that’s too tight or poorly coordinated can refer pain straight into the groin, outer hip, or deep inside the pelvis.

➡️. If your hip pain flares with running, lifting, sitting, or even intimacy, it may be a sign that the pelvic floor needs attention too. The best outcomes happen when we treat both the hip and the pelvic floor together.
If your hip pain keeps coming back no matter how much you stretch, it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong—your body just needs a more complete plan- to FINALLY fix it!

A woman I saw this week shared that she waited over a year before telling her primary provider about her bladder leaks and pelvic pain—hoping it would simply go away.

Then she spent another full year waiting to see a specialist… and by the time she walked into our clinic, she had been living with symptoms for almost three years.

Her story isn’t unusual.

So many people “wait and see,” or tell themselves it’s part of getting older, or hope things will magically improve if they just push through.

But pelvic pain, incontinence, or pressure that lingers is not something you need to tolerate.

The longer symptoms stick around, the more they tend to interfere with daily comfort, relationships, exercise, and confidence.

And the truth is: most pelvic floor issues are treatable with the right plan.

You deserve to feel better.

✨ Don’t settle. Don’t wait. Your body deserves attention now—not someday.

💜 Schedule your 1:1 pelvic PT session today.
