A little peek into some of my sessions lately, and insight into why I shared these thoughts with my patients!

1: Most of the people I work with are busy with school, work, and/or families, and it can be hard to find time for self-care. If you don’t have much time for a walk, a strength workout, or your PT exercises, that’s OK! Let’s work together to make your goals fit into your life. You can accomplish a lot in a short time, especially if you’re consistent over weeks and months.

2: People often seek out PT trying to avoid more invasive procedures like injections or surgery. Even if they do eventually go that route, that doesn’t mean PT was a failure - getting stronger, making your body more resilient to inevitable stresses and strains, is always a win.

3: Whether it’s peeing your pants after having a baby, low back pain during pregnancy, or frequent injuries as an athlete, you’re not alone, but you also don’t just have to suffer through it. Let’s dig deeper, figure out why it’s happening, and get you the right tools to feel better.

Here are three sneaky core exercises I’ve programmed recently for patients! They may not look or feel like traditional core exercises, like crunches or planks, but each one challenges your core in real-world, functional ways.

Half-kneeling wood choppers: These work the core in a rotational plane as you transfer force between the upper and lower body - think of lifting and lowering a heavy object. The half-kneeling position further challenges your core stability.

Carries and marches: With a heavy weight in one or both hands, this exercise will challenge you to maintain upright posture against a load, avoiding leaning to the side or rotating your torso. Think of carrying a heavy bag of groceries or a car seat.

Goblet squats: This may look like leg day, but your core is doing a ton of work behind the scenes! Holding the dumbbell or kettlebell in front forces your core to stay braced so your torso doesn’t collapse forward - think of getting up from a chair holding a baby.

Let me know in the comments if you give these a try!

What physical therapy is like at In Bloom Physio, according to my patients:

☝️ 1:1 appointments where you have my undivided time, energy, and focus for your entire session

🙋🏻‍♀️ The same provider (me!) each appointment, who remembers your story, your struggles, and your goals

🫶 Care for you as a whole person, because you’re more than a diagnosis or body part

I’m so thankful for everyone who trusts me to walk alongside them as they work to achieve their goals. 💕

In honor of National Physical Therapy Month, here’s why I became a physical therapist, and why I still love it! 🧡

Congrats to In Bloom Physio clients Jaclyn and Kaitlyn on crossing the Berlin Marathon finish line yesterday!

It’s been so inspiring watching both of these strong runner moms put in the work over the months and years we’ve worked together - from navigating the initial postpartum return-to-run progression to managing aches and pains that cropped up during marathon training. They overcame plenty of obstacles to get to the finish line, including travel delays and unseasonably hot weather in Berlin, but as always, they showed up with grit, strength, and determination. 💪

Drop them a congrats in the comments - and if you’re a runner, share your favorite post-race recovery routine!

Lots of new followers around here (hello to everyone who found me from the a few weeks ago - remember when that was a thing?), so I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself!

I’m Dr. Kristen Lund, a physical therapist and owner of In Bloom Physio. You can call me Kristen!

I love working with people who are active (or looking to become active), motivated, and eager to get back to the things they love to do, without pain or pelvic floor dysfunction.

I’m from nearby Columbus, Indiana, and have been a PT since 2017. I’m passionate about bridging the gap between the orthopedics/sports medicine world, where I started my career, and the pelvic health field!

When I’m not taking care of patients (or doing ridiculous viral video stunts in the office), you can find me with my nose in a book, spending time with my husband and our two young daughters, or in the audience at theatre and dance performances.

The best way to reach me if you’d like to work together or just chat: Fill out the contact form on my website, linked in bio. In the meantime, introduce yourself in the comments. I’d love to meet you! 👋

PSA: Not all physical therapy is created equal! 📣 If you’ve tried PT before and it didn’t help, the problem might not have been PT in general, but that you weren’t getting high-quality care. Finding a highly skilled and compassionate therapist, and a practice that lets them do their best work, can make all the difference in your recovery.

If you’re struggling with pain or pelvic floor issues, and you haven’t gotten the results you wanted from past PT, you’re not alone - I hear this frequently from my patients. I’d love to talk with you, hear your story, and have the opportunity to walk alongside you on your path to healing. Reach out via the contact form on my website (link in bio).

I couldn’t let Pride Month slip away without saying this:

I’m proud to be an ally in the ongoing fight for equality and acceptance. This is true every day and every month, not just in June, but feels especially important to say right now.

As a healthcare provider and a human, I recognize the significant healthcare disparities and discrimination the LGBTQ+ community faces. I do my best to keep learning, growing, and trying to be part of the solution by providing inclusive and compassionate care to everyone who walks through my doors.

Please know this: Whoever you are, whoever and however you love, you are welcome, safe, and celebrated here. 🌈

I founded In Bloom Physio because I know healthcare can be better than the status quo, and I’m passionate about getting to know you as a person, tailoring your treatment to your needs and goals, and providing the kind of care I want for myself and my loved ones. I’m so thankful for everyone who trusts me to help them feel better and reach their goals, and takes the time to share feedback like these recent Google reviews.

Online reviews are vital, especially for small practices like mine, in helping people make informed decisions about their providers. (Yes, even if your doctor sends a referral to a different clinic, you can choose where you want to go!)

If we’ve worked together and you had a great experience, please consider leaving a Google review (link in stories). If we haven’t yet worked together, why not write a review for another local small business of your choice - you’ll make their day! ☀️

Happy Global Running Day! 🏃‍♀️

Here I am in 2016, about to cross the finish line of my first marathon. It was my last year of physical therapy school, and running was a lifeline on my journey to becoming a PT. It gave me a chance to step out from the fluorescent lights of the lab, leave behind the never-ending PowerPoints and stacks of flash cards, and take a respite from the stress of graduate school. Those hours in nature, moving my body and letting my brain unwind, kept me balanced.

As the months went by and the miles ramped up, I showed myself, over and over, that I could accomplish things I never imagined I could do. My confidence grew, both on the run and in the rest of my life, that I could rise to any challenge in front of me. It’s never just about the running, is it?

As a physical therapist, I love working with runners - they’re motivated, resilient, and disciplined. Unfortunately, they also have frequent struggles with the healthcare system, including a lack of providers who understand the sport and its demands, and the dreaded blanket advice to “just stop running.”

If you’ve ever been told to stop running because of injuries or pelvic floor issues, I’d love to help you find a way back to doing what you love. Reach out via the contact form on my website, linked in bio.

Lots of new followers lately, and it’s been awhile since I introduced myself, so: Hi! 👋 I’m Dr. Kristen Lund (you can call me Kristen). I’m the founder of In Bloom Physio and an orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapist. What that means: I help people overcome pain and pelvic floor issues so they can live their best, most active lives.

Some things to know about me:

👩🏻‍⚕️ I’ve been a physical therapist for eight years, and I’m board certified as an orthopedic clinical specialist - a designation held by around 6% of PTs that shows expertise in the field. I took the six-hour OCS exam when I was six months pregnant. There were many snacks involved.

🌸 I opened In Bloom Physio in January 2024 in downtown Bloomington, Indiana. My vision was to bridge the gap between the fields of ortho/sports med and pelvic floor PT - taking a whole-person, fitness-forward approach to helping people do what they love.

📚 A fun fact about me: I changed careers to become a PT! My bachelor’s degree is in English, and in my previous life, I worked as a magazine writer, freelance writer and editor, and media relations director. When I’m not at work, you can often find me with my nose in a book or having a lively discussion with my book club.

Have questions or want to schedule an appointment? I’d love to hear from you! Reach out via the contact form on my website (link in bio).

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the strong mamas out there! 💐

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is working with moms-to-be during pregnancy, then seeing them back in the office postpartum with a new baby in tow. 😍 (Yes, babies are welcome in my office!)

During pregnancy, physical therapy can alleviate the discomfort and pelvic floor issues that can crop up, as well as help moms prepare for birth by practicing different breathing and pushing techniques and positions. Postpartum PT often focuses on restoring the strength and function of your pelvic floor as you transition to parenthood and resume a more active lifestyle - whether that’s a competitive sport, your favorite fitness class, or picking up your kids and chasing them around the playground. 💪

Here are a few of the babes who’ve made an appearance at the In Bloom Physio office - whether in utero, in their strollers, or both! Say hello to Camp, Eloise, James (and big brother Tommy), and Geneva Mae. 💗
