Over the past year, I’ve had a number of patients come back to me with second and even third!! pregnancies. Seeing returning patients as they grow their families is absolutely one of the best parts of my job, and over the last year it’s also sparked some reflection on how much my clinical knowledge and opinions have evolved over time.

While I’ve always worked hard to provide the best possible education to pregnant and postpartum folks, I’ve found myself tweaking the words of my past self for some of my returning patients. As my clinical experience has grown and pelvic health research has grown, what I share and how I share it has changed, too.

Years ago, a colleague of mine said that if she’s treating the same way 6 months from now as she is now, something has gone wrong. And I agree with her - as clinicians, our knowledge should be ever evolving.

Head to www.ladybirdpt.com/blog for our latest blog post that dives deeper into each one of these points including what I used to think and what I know now.

And clinical friends!! Tell me what you’ve changed your tune on over the past few years!!

According to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, egg freezing increased for 40% in 2023 compared to 2022. It’s amazing that we have this technology available to us and also, it can be really surprising when this procedure exacerbates underlying pelvic floor symptoms.

Over my years in clinical practice, I’ve seen my patients experience exacerbation in urinary incontinence, pain with s*x and pelvic pain following an egg retrieval. This article does a great job explaining some reasons why that may happen - including increased intra-abdominal pressure from follicles on your ovaries, increased constipation and even a guarding response from your pelvic floor (shout out to for her contribution to this piece)!

Have you ever p*ed, stood up and then noticed your underwear is wet? That’s post micturition dribble, which literally means you’re leaking after p*eing.

This is a totally different kind of leakage the. Stress incontinence and sometimes it’s really easy to treat with some basic movements after you p*e.

Watch today’s video to learn some simple bladder emptying techniques and listen to the end to learn how pelvic floor PT can help if that’s not enough!

Happy p*eing 🚽🧻

Ever get struck with a strong, sudden urge to p*e that seems to come out of nowhere? That’s urinary urgency! It’s a complex, frustrating and uncomfortable symptom that we see in our clinic all the time. But here’s the thing, there’s so much that can be done to get this under control.

When folks see us in the clinic for urgency, treatment may include dietary and fluid intake modification, manual therapy (hands on work), exercise done together and on your own and so much more.

But a huge part of managing this symptom is counseling folks on wtf to do when it strikes. That’s what this video is all about. Shout out to for the amazing presentation last week.

Pelvic floor physical therapy isn’t just about reducing symptoms. It’s about getting back to your life, so your attention stays on the moments that matter—not on where the nearest bathroom is.

Hello, Austin!

I want to introduce myself to you all. My name is Rebecca Maidansky and I am a pelvic floor physical therapist and the founder of Lady Bird Physical Therapy. I came to Austin, by way of San Francisco, from Philadelphia. That’s where I got my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I used to joke that I got here by taking a wrong turn somewhere, but who can blame me? I moved in July.

I’ve always been a vocal advocate of women’s rights and health. Too often I hear new mom’s say “I wish I had known..,” Why didn’t anyone tell me...” My mission is to reach more people and help guide them through the beautiful but wild ride that is pregnancy and the postpartum period. I want you to know what changes you can expect in your body and how to best prepare for them.

I also want you to know how valuable physical therapy can be for you. If you are having pain while sitting, walking, having s*x, exercising, taking care of your child... doing anything, physical therapy can help you. You are not alone. If you are having difficulty controlling your bladder when you cough, sneeze, laugh or walk, physical therapy can help. These are common experiences. If you are having trouble controlling your gas, getting in and out of bed, or if you generally feel weak, once again, physical therapy can help.

Obviously, I’m bias, but I love conservative care. I love that PT is an option that has no negative side effects. I love that I can help you reclaim your body and life. I love that I can help you avoid pain and surgery.
