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.

Twelve weeks ago, 16 women walked into our Postpartum STRONG class—many unsure where to start, wondering if they’d ever feel strong again.

Tonight, they walked out taller, stronger, and more confident than ever. 💜

This program isn’t just about movement—it’s about rediscovering what your body can do, finding connection with other moms, and proving to yourself that healing and strength are possible. 💕

To all the mamas who showed up week after week—thank you for trusting the process and letting me be part of your journey. You are Postpartum STRONG. 💪

Want to know one of my favorite go to gifts during the Holiday Season??? 🎄

My favorite combination is: a squatty potty + bran muffins from + a cute water bottle = 🎁

This holiday season, skip the candles and sweaters and give a gift that truly transforms lives – a Squatty Potty! 🎄

Here’s why this little bathroom accessory is so much more than a stocking stuffer:

🧻 Better Bowel Movements: When you elevate your feet into a squatting position, it helps relax your pelvic floor muscles, allowing for a smoother, faster, and more complete bowel movement. Less strain, less time on the toilet, and healthier habits for your gut!

🌟 Pelvic Floor Health: If you or your loved ones struggle with constipation or feel pressure in the pelvic area, the Squatty Potty can relieve unnecessary strain on the pelvic floor muscles. Healthy pelvic muscles = better posture, core strength, and even fewer back issues!

💩 Gut-Friendly Gift: Great for people of all ages, from kids to grandparents, the Squatty Potty is a simple, easy way to help support natural elimination – no harsh laxatives or extra fiber required.

🎉 Healthy Habits, Happy Holidays: Give the gift of gut health this holiday season! And let’s be real… it’s also a fantastic conversation starter! 😂 💩

PS- we sell these at the clinic as it can be tricky to find them in town consistently!😉

Did you know? The long-term risk of incontinence after childbirth is similar for both vaginal and C-section deliveries! 🤯

C-section mamas: it's easy to think, "I didn’t deliver vaginally, so my pelvic floor should be fine." But, even if you had a C-section, your pelvic floor and core have still gone through major changes and challenges during pregnancy.

Here’s why postpartum recovery is essential for EVERYONE ⬇️

🩷 Pelvic Floor & Core Strength: Pregnancy puts pressure on these muscles, impacting support and control. Without proper rehab, weakness can increase the risk of incontinence or other pelvic issues after birth.

🩷 Coordination Matters: Postpartum recovery IS NOT just about strength; it's also about retraining coordination and timing. Building muscle control improves overall function, helping you stay active and comfortable as you return to exercise and activities after delivery without leaks, pain and bulges.

Here are 5️⃣ reasons you are still leaking with running ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Sometimes, our habits that are intended to be helpful are actually contributing to why we are still leaking! 🤯

1. "Just in case" p*es-- before you head out for a run, you p*e multiple times before to make sure your bladder is TOTALLY empty.

2. Trying to hold everything in during your run-- You are clenching your pelvic floor and core during your run trying not to leak.

3. Drinking coffee/bubbly water/caffeine prior to running-- often these can be irritating our bladder and actually cause us to leak more.

4. You run the same loop or route-- if we are running the same route or loop, our brain will often give us urge signals at similar times. If you always leak or have an increased urge to p*e 1 mile into your run NO MATTER how you drink or p*e prior to running -- your brain is playing a role in your leaks.

5. Hill vs flat- we often leak more on flat or downhill running. Our running posture and form can be increasing pressure on our bladder and pelvic floor!

Which one of these do you think is contributing to your leaks most????
